Act 2 R&j Flashcards
• 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.
Juliet
• What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
(Romeo)
• What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
Juliet
• With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls.
For stony limits cannot hold love out.
Romeo
• My life were better ended by their hate
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
Romeo
• Although I joy in thee,
I have no joy of this contract tonight.
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden.
Juliet
• Then plainly know my heart’s dear love is set
On the fair daughter of rich Capulet.
Romeo
• Young men’s love then lies
Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.
Friar Lawerence
• For this alliance may so happy prove
To turn your households’ rancour to pure love.
Friar Lawerence
Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.
Friar Lawerence
Prince of Cats
Mercutio
• If ye lead her in a fool’s
Paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of
Behaviour,
The nurse
• Now art thou sociable. Now art thou Romeo
Mercutio
• Then hie you hence to Friar Lawerence’ cell.
There stays a husband to make you a wife
The nurse
