Unrequited love
Benvolio : In love?
Benvolio : In love?
Romeo : Out—
Benvolio : Of love?
Romeo : Out of her favour where I am in love.
Crude love, lust
Sampson : Tis’ true,
Sampson : Tis’ true, and therefore women being the weaker vessels are ever thrust to the wall.
Crude love, lust
Sampson : Me they shall feel
Sampson : Me they shall feel while I am able to stand, and
’tis known I am a pretty piece of flesh.
Platonic love
BENVOLIO : Soft! I will go along.
BENVOLIO : Soft! I will go along.
And if you leave me so, you do me wrong.
ROMEO : Tut, I have lost myself. I am not here.
This is not Romeo. He’s some other where.
BENVOLIO : Tell me in sadness, who is that you love.
Infatuation/Superficial love/Unrequited love
Romeo : Oh, she is rich
Romeo : Oh, she is rich in beauty, only poor
That when she dies, with beauty dies her store.
Infatuation/Superficial love/Unrequited love
ROMEO : She hath, and in that sparing
ROMEO : She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste,
For beauty, starved with her severity,
Cuts beauty off from all posterity.
She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair,
To merit bliss by making me despair.
She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow
Do I live dead that live to tell it now.
Romantic infatuation/Love at first sight
ROMEO : Oh, she doth
ROMEO : Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
As a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear,
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.
Infatuation/Romantic love/Love at first sight
Romeo : So shows a
Romeo : So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows
As yonder lady o’er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand,
And, touching hers, make blessèd my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.
Romantic love/Innocent love
ROMEO : If I profane
ROMEO : If I profane with my unworthiest
hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
Romantic love/Innocent love
Juliet : Good pilgrim
JULIET : Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this,
For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.
Romantic/Innocent love
Romeo : Have not saints
Romeo : Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
Juliet : Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
Romantic/Innocent love
Romeo : O then dear
Romeo : O then dear saint, let lips do what hands do.
They pray; grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Juliet : Saints do not move, though grant for prayers’ sake.
Romeo : Then move not, while my prayer’s effect I take.
