What are the five characters from Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

1. First metaphor is when Romeo compares his personality to their palms. He also

compares his lips to pilgrims (suggesting piety and humility and a state of grace) (Act I Scene V)

"My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand

To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss".

2. Romeo compares Juliet to the sun (Act II Scene II)

"But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun."

3. Romeo compares Juliet's eyes to the bright stars (Act II scene II)

"Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,

Having some business, do entreat her eyes

To twinkle in their spheres till they return.

What if her eyes were there, they in her head?

The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,

As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven"

4. Romeo uses the word "sole" when he refers to Mercutio's shoes, then made a pun by referring to his own "soul." [ How is this a metaphor?]

5. Romeo compares Juliet's eyes to silent prayers. " Her eyes are homes of silent prayer." (in which act and scene???)

6. Capulet compares his banquet guests to the stars (Act I scene II)

"At my poor house look to behold this night

Earth-treading stars that make dark heaven light"

7. Juliet compares the night to a mask (Act II scene II)

Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,

Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek

8. Friar Lawrence describes Earth to the mother of nature (plants and people) (Act II Scene III)

The earth that's nature's mother is her tomb;

What is her burying grave that is her womb,

And from her womb children of divers kind

We sucking on her natural bosom find,

Many for many virtues excellent,

None but for some and yet all different.

Answer 2

its not quite clear what u mean but she uses some antithesis and oxymoron when she says 'beautiful tyrant' and 'fiend angelical' after romeo killed Tybalt - means that she loves him but is devestated that he could be a murderer - and stuff like 'did ever a dragon keep so fair a cave' - meaning her seems lovely on the outside but is capable of evil inside

Answer 3

A simile is a direct comparison of two objects using connective words such as like, than, so, as, or one of the many other connective words. Five similes in "Romeo and Juliet" would be: 1. "My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep" 2. "like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear"; 3. "Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books"; 4. "Scaring the ladies like a crowkeeper"; 5. "Begot of nothing but vain fantasy, Which is as thin of a substance as the air". There are many similes and other comparisons throughout the amazing tragic love story.

Answer 4

Oxymorons are the juxtaposition of two words with opposite meanings. Romeo gives vent to a whole stream of them, starting with "O brawling love, O, loving hate!" in Act 1 Scene 1. Later on the balcony, Juliet provides the most famous oxymoron "Parting is such sweet sorrow."

Answer 5

Romeo and Juliet and any three others of the twenty-three or so other characters in the play.
