The Romeo & Juliet Remix

Einstein Productions feat. Top Hoodlum, L3 Promo, SCass, & Will Scene 2 Romeo is in the orchard of the Capulets, and sees Juliet on her balcony. “But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon…” Romeo is saying that Juliet is the new light in his life, and she is much brighter than the old light (Rosaline). He is comparing Juliet to the sun and Rosaline to the moon, and we call this type of comparison a metaphor. Juliet does not know he is there, and speaks to herself. When a character thinks aloud, it is called a soliloquy. “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.” “Wherefore” means “why”, and Juliet is asking Romeo why he is Montague (and the enemy of her family). She then says that if Romeo will be her love, she’ll “no longer be a Capulet”, meaning that she will marry him and take his name. Juliet speaks another famous quote. “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet.” Romeo finally reveals himself. They swear love for each other, but Juliet is afraid that Romeo is enchanted by the night. They agree to get together the next morning at nine. Juliet says goodbye with another famous quote. “Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
