"O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical! Dove-feathered raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! Despisèd substance of divinest show, Just opposite to what thou justly seem’st. A damnèd saint, an honorable villain! O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend In moral paradise of such sweet flesh? Was ever book containing such vile matter So fairly bound? Oh, that deceit should dwell In such a gorgeous palace!" (3.2.74-86)
Juliet speaks these lines of disgust when she hears that her dear husband, Romeo, has killed her dearest cousin, Tybalt. Using metaphors, she compares Romeo to a dragon, a raven, all evil terms because of the sin, the crime he has committed. She describes him having a serpent heart, hid behind a beautiful face, saying as how could he be so evil when he was so beautiful? She says he's vile, evil, for killing her cousin. She just can't, refuses, to believe it, though she does. Juliet is heart broken with disappointment at her husband's doing. She used to think he's a saint but now sees him as a villain. "A damned saint" is meaning that Romeo is and has been in disguise, hiding his true self, in Juliet's eyes.
"O deadly sin! O rude unthankfulness! Thy fault our law calls death, but the kind Prince, Taking thy part, hath rushed aside the law, And turned that black word “death” to “banishment.” This is dear mercy, and thou seest it not." (3.3.24-29)
These lines are spoken by Friar Lawrence to Romeo. He is disgusted by Romeo's response to being kicked out of Verona rather than being killed. Since he killed Tybalt, who killed Mercutio, he is supposed to be sentenced for death. But, since Tybalt killed Mercutio, he was going to be killed anyway. The prince considered this and then decided to not kill Romeo by banish him. Romeo responds by saying death is better than being banished because if he's banished, he can't see Juliet to where if he's dead, he could watch over her. Friar Lawrence says Romeo is ungrateful for how he is reacting. He explains the reaction by used a metaphor, calling the reaction a sin, an act of ungratefulness, because it is. Romeo, feeling death is better than being banished, is being very ungrateful for his gift of life as opposed to being killed.

"O God, I have an ill-divining soul. Methinks I see thee now, thou art so low As one dead in the bottom of a tomb. Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale."
In the quote above Juliet says this quote. She knows that Romeo is in a lot of trouble. When she say that she have a ill-divining soul, that her soul is filled with so many evil things that might can happened to Romeo. When she says this quote she is having a conversation with Romeo, and Romeo says that all the things that are happening that they can tell the story later in life. When Juliet says that as one dead in the bottom of the tomb, she means that Romeo look dead. In my opinion, I think that he's tired because they just got married and all of the fighting occurred and stuff. Then, she says that her eyesight fail, because Romeo looks so pale, which is another I think that he's tired. He's been hiding in Friar's Lawrence cell and stuff. Juliet is worried about Romeo because all of the events that are happening. (Scene 3 Act 5 Lines 53-56) (Modern Text was used in Personification) (Words 156)
"As if that name, Shot from the deadly level of a gun, Did murder her, as that name's cursed hand Murdered her kinsman. O, tell me, Friar, tell me, In what vile part of this anatomy Doth my name lodge? Tell me, that I may sack The hateful mansion."
The quote was said by Romeo. The nurse walks in and tell Romeo that Juliet is weeping for Romeo and Tybalt. This is when she found out that Romeo killed Tybalt and the nurse goes to Romeo and tell him what his wife is doing. Romeo says that Juliet is calling out his name as he had the bullet murdering her. In my opinion, I think that Romeo feels guilty because he killed one of Juliet's kin folks. Romeo thinks something wrong for him so he thinks that somewhere in his body something is need for embedded, so for he can fix it. He then asks Friar Lawrence that if anything is wrong with him. The quote means that Romeo knows that Juliet is at her home waiting for him, but the news she got about her kin folk is dead and her husband is the one that killed him, which makes Romeo (overall) guilty. Juliet just can't believe that Romeo had did this to Tybalt, which is why Juliet is weeping. (Act 3 Scene 3 Lines 103-109) (The figurative language is used in the Modern Text which is a simile.) (Words 173)
"O God, I have an ill-divining soul. Methinks I see thee now, thou art so low as one dead in the bottom of a tomb. Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale." (Act 3; Scene 5; P: 190-191)
This quote was said by Juliet when her and Romeo were together after he killed Tybalt. They were secretly together and hear her mother coming so he had to leave before Lady Capulet found out. When he was on the ground and she was still on her balcony was when she said this quote. This quote means that Juliet feels that evil things are coming or that she predicts bad things to happen. She states that Romeo looks like someone who is dead or not feeling well. She says that he looks very pale and that she is worried about him. This whole line is just her being scared or worried that something bad will happen to him. ( The figurative language used in this quote is foreshadowing because Juliet feels that something bed will happen.)
"The law that threatened death becomes thy friend and turns it to exile-- there art thou happy. A pack of blessings light upon thy back, happiness courts thee in her best array, but like a misbehaved and sullen wench, thou pout'st upon thy future and thy love." (Act 3; Scene 3; P: 178-179)
This quote took place when Romeo first found out that his punishment for killing Tybalt was to be exiled instead of killed. Instead of being extremely happy about the outcome of the situation, he is upset and mournful because he won't be able to see Juliet. This quote is said by Friar Lawrence. What he is basically saying is that Romeo should be happy with the punishment he received rather than upset by it. He says that the law was easy on Romeo and that Romeo has a life full of blessings. Then Friar Lawrence goes on to say that Romeo is being like a misbehaved, sullen girl that is whining about their bad luck and misfortune. Friar Lawrence is just trying to get Romeo to realize how lucky he was to receive that kind of punishment rather than the normal one. (The Figurative language in this quote is a simile. The simile is used when Friar Lawrence says "But, like a misbehaved and sullen girl" this is saying that Romeo is "like" a little girl.)

"No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.93-95)
Mercutio is explaining the outcome of his injury in this quote. He is saying that is the stab is not very wide or very deep, but it is just enough to kill him. This is an ironic quote because Mercutio is one of the clown characters of the story, which means that he is always making jokes and trying to get the other characters to laugh. So when it is said that he is dying, it is very surprising. The figurative language in this quote is when he says "you shall find me a grave man) because a grave is something that people go into after they are out to death, but grave also means a serious situation.
"Was ever book containing such vile matter So fairly bound? Oh, that deceit should dwell In such a gorgeous palace! (3.2. 84-86)
Juliet says this when she first finds out about Romeo killing her cousin, Tybalt. She is not sure what to think of the situation, since she is married to someone who has just murdered her own cousin. At this moment in the story she is furious with Romeo and claims that she hates them, which soon her mood on that will change. But in this quote she is saying that Romeo is evil deep down inside but is beautiful on the outside. Which is where the figurative language comes in. She is comparing something evil, which is Romeo, to a beautiful palace without using like or as so it is a metaphor.
Keep up the great work Elise. I can tell you are really getting the hang of the literary devices. If you ever need help, I am here for you. Other than that, I am very proud of you.

"But, like a misbehaved and sullen wench, Thou pout'st upon thy fortune and thy love. Take heed, take heed, for such die miserable. Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed. Ascend her chamber, hence, and comfort her." (3.3.143-147)
Analysis: In Act three, Scene 3, lines 143 to 147, it includes a simile in the beginning due to it comparing Romeo to a misbehaved sullen wench. Friar Lawrence is stating this quote to the Nurse by trying to influence Romeo to get brave and stand up for what he wants to have in the future before he loses it. Romeo may be kicked out of Verona, but he should be doing everything possible right now to try to see Juliet as much and as where possible. He needs to comfort her into the true word knowing where her and Romeo end up rather than guessing from time to time again. The Nurse feels as if this is great advice for a young handsome man who needs to try to get back on track. Love is being served to Romeo and Juliet. Where they take it from there is where they may end up in the future. Everyone wants the best which is why Friar Lawrence is giving this great advice to several people. This simile helps in the lines due to it showing how well one item is compared to another item throughout school and what not. (197.)

"Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? What, wilt thou was him from his grave with tears? An if thou couldst not make him live. Therefore, have done. Some grief shows much of love, But much grief shows still some want of wit.' (3.5.69-73)
Analysis: In Act three, Scene five, lines 69 throughout 73, a foreshadowing is being used as a figurative language due to it including future tense words or phrases. This conversation is going on between Lady Capulet and Juliet. Lady Capulet is explaining to Juliet that no matter how much she cries and thinks about Tybalt being dead, there is nothing that could or would bring him back. Her tears would not magically appear healing Tybalt from his grave he now has. This literary advice makes the readers, such as me, think about what we would be doing if we were Juliet. Would we e doing the same thing? Some people may while others may not. He was going to die anyway whether Romeo or someone else did it. It is time for Juliet and her family members to move on because by living in the past, it will not get you anywhere better; only worse. This foreshadowing situation allows the readers to imagine what is going on mentally as well as see it physically. Lady Capulet is absolutely correct in my opinion.(181.)

DJ 1:
Mercutio: "Ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.94-95)
These lines use pun as a figurative language. Tybalt and Mercutio got into a fight and Romeo tried to stop it. When Romeo went in between Mercutio and Tybalt to break up the fight, Tybalt was able to wound Mercutio by sliding his sword under Romeo's arm. The figurative language is used when Mercutio says "grave man."(3.1.95) THe word "grave" could mean two things. It could mean serious or dead. Mercutio curses both the Montagues and the Capulets twice. Then Mercutio dies.
DJ 2:
Lady Capulet: "Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn The gallant, young, and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride." (3.5.116-120)
This quote uses dramatic irony. Lady Capult is telling Juliet that Paris will make Juliet his bride Thursday morning. We know that Juliet is already married to Romeo, but her parent don't. They think that if she gets married then she will be happy again. Capulet and Lady Capulet think that she is still crying over Tybalts death, but really she is crying because she will never see Romeo again because he is banished. Her marrying Paris while Romeo is still alive would mean that she is commiting adultery. She tries explaining to her parents that she can't marry Paris, but she can't tell them why she can't marry him. We know why she can't tell her parent's, because of her forbidden and secret marriage with Romeo.

"...Here's my fiddlestick; here's that shall make you dance. 'Zounds, consort!" (Act 3 Scene 1 Line 44 Page 140)
This quote is I form of figurative language known as symbol. A symbol is something that stand for something else. In the quote fiddlestick stands for the sword that Mercutio is waving around. He is waving around he is sword while taunting Tybalt in order to him and get him to fight. Mercutio says that his fiddlestick will make him dance because they will be sort fighting and you must move around quickly like dancing. The fighting also symbolizes the rivalry between the two families.
"Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death. I am content, so thou wilt have it so." (Act 3 Scene 5 Page 186 Line 16)
This quote was spoken by Romeo in response to Juliet saying that he did not have to leave for Mantua. Romeo said that he was ready to be put to death, even though that was not his fate, because he got to spend time with Juliet and say goodbye to her. He was content now, after having seen Juliet, and ready to die. This could symbolize Romeo's death because he just said he was ready and content. So then, it is going to happen.

"Thou art like one of those fellow that, when he enters the confines of a tavern, claps me his sword upon the table and says "God send me no need of thee!" and, by the operation of the second cup, draws it on the drawer when indeed there is no need." (3.1.5-9)
This quote uses simile by comparing Benvolio to men that would instantly fight. Mercutio tends to tell Benvolio about himself because all he worries about is fighting. Pretty much everything he says deals with fighting. This takes place in the streets of Verona. Benvolio is the type of person who don't care what time of day it is, he would want to fight. Just like what Mercutio says, he could say he don't want to use it on anyone but soon he will.
"No, ’tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but ’tis enough, ’twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man. I am peppered, I warrant, for this world. A plague o' both your houses! Zounds, a dog, a rat, a mouse, a cat to scratch a man to death! A braggart, a rogue, a villain that fights by the book of arithmetic! Why the devil came you between us? I was hurt under your arm."
Act 3, Scene 1
Mercutio said this after Tybalt stabbed him. This quote uses foreshadowing and a pun. When he says "Ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a dead man." it is foreshadowing that he will be dead. He is also using a pun, because he usually has a humorous character but grave means serious. Mercutio called a plague on both houses because they resulted in his death. He had no choice but to hate the Capulets because its been like that since before his time and he is a part of the Montagues. Therefore, fighting for the feud between the two houses because of his ancestors caused his death.
" Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face, else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek"
This quote is found in Act 2, Scene 1. This quote is said by Juliet I believe towards Romeo. This is a form of figurative language because it is a metaphor. It is a metaphor because she is comparing the night to her face. Romeo is being nice and swaying her. So what she means by this their is a "mask" of the night covering her face. If the dark or the night was not their it would show her blushing. The night is like a "mask" covering her from blushing and things like that after Romeo was being sweet and nice.
" My grave is like to be my wedding bed"
This quote is said by juliet. Two types of figurative I think. Irony and simile is found in this quote. Simile because it is compaing a "grave" to a "wedding bed" with using like or as. But this quote is very ironic. Reason being she says she is dying to see and be with Romeo. She is mourning to be with him and she is dying too. This is were the irony comes in. She is dying to be with him but later in the story she does. She ends up being with him but both end up dead together in a grave instead of a wedding bed and living. So she is dying to be with him but ends up dying with him.
"The future will be affected by today's terrible events. Today is the start of a terror that will end the days ahead."
Act 3, Scene 1, Page 6
This quote shows foreshadowing as its figurative language. Romeo says this to Tybalt before they fight. The quote foreshadows that the two families will have many more battles and chaos because of the fighting they are having at the moment. Romeo says, "The future will be affected by today's terrible events." , meaning as they fight the future will turn and turn. The second part of the quote, "Today is the start of a terror that will end in the days ahead." , means after they fight, the two families will keep fighting till one of them fail to win. Romeo's quote is a good example of figurative language, such as foreshadowing.
Dawsin Benoit English I Mr. Rodrigue 14 November 2013
"My grave is like to be my wedding bed"
This quote has a figurative language of irony. I say it is irony because in the story, Juliet is saying how she is dying to be with him and how bad she wants to be with him in her life. Well, this quote is an exaple of irony because when she is saying that she is dying to be with him, it really is true in the end. She died with him. So, both of them are dead together in a grave, just like she had said in the quote. "This grave is like to be my wedding bed" actually happens and it is an ironic sitiuation for the audence to find out. Since she didnt mean it literaly in the first place.
"The future is affected by today's terrible events. Today is the start of terror that will end the days ahead."
This quote shows the figurative language of foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is when a charactor predicts something that will happen in the furture. Usually, in movies you would see what the charactor is thinking what moght happen and it really does happen in the movie somewhere. Well, in this part of the play, Romeo is talking to Tybalt face to face when they are about to fight. And this quote means that both of the families will fight just because they have started now and when one of them loses, it will mean a win for the other.

"Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man" (3.1.94-95)
This passage/quote is said by Mercutio to Romeo. He had gotten into a fight with Tybalt, and Romeo was trying to break them up. In the process Mercutio was stabbed by Tybalt. This line is said shortly after those events. The type of figurative language used here would be a pun.It takes place when Mercutio says "grave man." This term could either mean one of two things, dead or serious. Being this quote came shortly after he was stabbed by Tybalt the reader can interpret this as either one, dead or serious. The main reason I think this is a pun is because Mercutio is one of the comedic release characters which means he is almost never serious. This is a good example of a pun.
"Is there no pity sitting in the clouds That sees into the bottom of my grief?- O sweet my mother, cast me not away! Delay this marriage for a month, a week. Or, if you do not, make the bridal bed In that dim monument where Tybalt lies." (3.5.197-202)
This passage/quote is very important to the story. It is said by Juliet to Lady Capulet. She is basically telling her mother that if she has to marry Paris she is better off dead. This is because she is secretly married to Romeo, and her parents do not know about it. She knows that she would be commiting adultry. Ithink the ffigurative language used in this quote would be a metaphor. The reason being for this is her comparison of the bridal bed to Tybalt's tomb. Throught this entire quote she is telling Lady Capulet that if she has to marry Paris then make her a tomb instead of a bridal bed. This quote is a good example of a metaphor.

Quote: "The future will be affected by today's terrible events. Today is the start of a terror that will end in the days ahead."( Act 3, Scene 1, Page 147)
Analysis: The figurative language for this quote would be foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is when an author gives hints to what might happen later on. Romeo said this quote to Tybalt before they fought. This quote was foreshadowing that there will be many more battles between these families. This one battle will be the beginning of many more. These families will not stop the battle until one wins.
Quote: "May a plague strike both your families! They've turned me into food for worms. I'm done for. Curse your families! ( Act 3, Scene 1, Page 147)
Analysis: The figurative language for this quote would be foreshadowing. Just like in the quote above, foreshadowing is when the author gives little hints to what will later happen in. When Mercutio said this, he was just stabbed by Tybalt and was about to die. This foreshadows what might later on happen to the families. Maybe since he put a curse on these families, something bad will happen towards the end. Mercutio wants to set a curse on these two families because he thinks they are the reasons for him dying.

Analysis: In Act three, Scene 3, lines 143 to 147, it includes a simile in the beginning due to it comparing Romeo to a misbehaved sullen wench. Friar Lawrence is stating this quote to the Nurse by trying to influence Romeo to get brave and stand up for what he wants to have in the future before he loses it.

"The future will be affected by today's terrible events. Today is the start of a terror that will end in the days ahead."
The figurative language for this quote is foreshadowing. When an author gives hints to what might happen later on is foreshadowing. Tybalt got told this by Romeo right before they fought. This is practically saying that there will be several more battles between the two families.
Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man" (3.1.94-95)
This quote is said by Mercutio to Romeo. He had gotten into a fight with Tybalt, and Romeo was trying to break them up. In the process Mercutio was stabbed by Tybalt. This line is said shortly after those events. The type of figurative language that is used would have to be a pun. It takes place when Mercutio says "grave man." This term could either mean one of two things, dead or serious. Being this quote came shortly after he was stabbed by Tybalt the reader can interpret this as either one, dead or serious. The main reason I think this is a pun is because Mercutio is one of the comedic release characters which means he is almost never serious.
Karlie Trosclair English 1- 5th period Rodrigue 15 October 2013
Mercutio: "Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.94-95)
This quote happens right after Mercutio and Tybalt fight. When they are fighting Romeo tries to break up the fight between them. He does this because the Prince has told them if they do not keep the peace in the city the people who are fighting will be sentenced to death. However, when Romeo was trying to separate the fight Tybalt's sword goes underneath Romeo's arm and stabs Mercutio. In the quote Mercutio is saying how the cut is bad enough to where if you ask for him tomorrow he will be dead by then. In the this quote, "Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.94-95) there is also some figurative language. When Mercutio says you will find me a grave man this is a pun. It's a pun because he uses the word "grave" with two different meanings. In conclusion, this quote is about Mercutio expressing how he will be sea by tomorrow.
Capulet: "Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!" (3.5.160)
This quote takes place after Juliet has refuse's to marry Paris. When Juliet tells her dad that she will not marry Paris he gets very angry. He says many things such as you worthless, unthankful girl. In the quote, "Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!" (3.5.160) Capulet is telling Juliet that she is Disrespectful and a wretch. However, when Capulet called Juliet a wretch he is using figurative language. The type of figurative language that he uses is a Metaphor. It is a Metaphor because he is calling Juliet a wretch. However, we all know that she isn't really a wretch but he is just meaning that she is being a unhappy person. In conclusion, this quote is about Capulet telling Juliet disrespectful things because he is angry that Juliet is not wanting to marry Paris.

"No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.93-95
Mercutio was talking about his wound after he Romeo had stabbed him.He is saying that it's not that wide nor that deep but it's deep enough to kill him.This situation is ironic and it is ironic because Mercutio was one of the characters in the story that was funny and liked to clown. Meaning that he was always making that characters laugh. Something is figurative language is when he says that"you shall find me a grave man". Grave has two meaning one means that when you die you goes to a grave, but then grave also means seriously.
"Was ever book containing such vile matter So fairly bound? Oh, that deceit should dwell In such a gorgeous palace! (3.2. 84-86 Juliet was saying this when she first found out about her cousin Tybalt who was now dead. She isn't really sure about what happen she is confuse. The man whom she just married has just killed her cousin.So her reaction is surprisingly. She is saying that Romeo is evil within that moment but on the outside he is fine. She really can't control her moods at this point.She is comparing something evil, whom to be Romeo, to a beautiful palace without using like or as so it is a metaphor.

"O God, I have an ill-divining soul. Methinks I see thee now, thou art so low as one dead in the bottom of a tomb. Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale." (3.5.53-57)
In this quote Juleit is talking. This is the part where Romeo and Juliet are saying goodbye to each other because of the banishment. The quote is foreshadowing or predicting the future of what will happen. Juliet expects something evil to come within the future. She thinks that death to someone will soon happen because of the tragedy that happened a night before.
"Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man" (3.1.94-95)
This quote was said by Mercutio to Romeo. Mercutio and Tybalt got in a fight and when Romeo tried spliting them up Tybalt stabbed in with a peice of glass. He tolf Romeo this quote but this quote is a pun. The qord grave has two meanings you can go by, dead or serious. In the quote, I think he meant dead because he meant that if you find him tomorrow he will be dead lying in a grave.
Katelyn Belote Pre-AP English- 5th Period Act III November 15, 2013
Quote: "No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (Act 3.Scene 1.Lines 93-95). Analysis: Stated on page 144, Mercutio is explaining the aftermath of being stabbed by Tybalt’s sword. Mercutio is describing his stab as not a big thing, but it was enough to do damage. He says that the cut isn’t as big or as deep as a church door due to church doors meaning that it wasn’t the biggest womb ever. But, however, he says the stab is enough and it will kill him. He tells Romeo “As for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man” meaning he is dying. This strikes as ironic due to Mercutio is the clown of the story along with the nurse, but he is serious. The words “grave man” is an example of the figurative language used in his death due to the word grave can mean the place where you are placed once you die or very serious. This overall is the explanation Mercutio gave Romeo to tell him…he is dying.
Quote: Lady Capulet: "Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn the gallant, young, and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride." (Act (Act 3. Scene 5.lines 116-120) Analysis: This quote is describing when Lady Capulet gave the bad news to Juliet. As ironic as it is, Juliet has just given herself in marriage to Romeo, the man who is now exiled out of the town for killing Tybalt. Because of the fact that the parents of Juliet are unaware of the marriage, they have chosen for her to marry Paris. The figurative language presented in this quote is dramatic irony. This is due to Juliet having just received her first encounter of “love” with Romeo and now…she is being forced into marriage.
"Ask me for tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1 94-95)
This is an important quote in the story because it happens right before Mercutio dies. Him and Tybalt were fighting and Tybalt kills him. While missing Romeo with his sword, Tybalt slashes Mercutio in the side. It doesn't kill him right away but because there is no medical things in that time he dies because he can't be healed. Also, the quote is a pun because he uses the word "grave" in two meanings. One could be serious and the other is like a grave you are buried in. So this is an important quote used in Act III and also contains a type of figurative language.
"As if that name, Shot from the deadly level of a gun, Did murder her, as that name's cursed hand Murdered her kinsman." (3.3 102-105)
This quote is also very meaningful in Act III because this is Romeo talking about killing Tybalt. After Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo was very angry and did something very bad. He went back after Tybalt and shot him dead. Juliet is depressed that he killed her cousin, but she also loves Romeo too much and doesn't want anything bad happening to him. His punishment was banishment and now they are both depressed of not seeing each other. Also this quote has a simile which is a type of figurative language. Romeo is comparing her calling out his name, to the bullet coming out the gun. So this quote is very meaningful in Act III and also contains a type of figurative language.

"Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn The gallant, young, and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride." (3.5.116-120)
This quote is darmatic irony. While Lady Capulet is so positive that Juliet would be happy to marry Paris, she's really hoping to be with Romeo. Her mother was explaining to her the news about her and Paris to be wed. The only problem was, Juliet was already married to Romeo. So she wasn't so happy about this. She and her mother began to fight which let to her getting threatened to get kicked out of the house. Juliet was worried more about the sin she would make if she was to marry another man, but she could not tell her mother what she had down. It's dramatic irony because we know what happened, and the people in the movie do not.
"O deadly sin! O rude unthankfulness! Thy fault our law calls death, but the kind Prince, Taking thy part, hath rushed aside the law, And turned that black word “death” to “banishment.” This is dear mercy, and thou seest it not." (3.3.24-29)
This was when Romeo found out that he was being banished instead of being killed. Which was his reward for killing Tybalt for him killing Mercutio. But to Romeo's dismay, he rather have been killed than to be apart from Juliet. Friar Lawrence calls him unthankful because he could have been killed, but he is given the chance to be somewhere else and not make the same mistakes. Romeo refuses to take them because of his love for Juliet. He constately complains about wanting to die instead of being banished.

Mercutio: "Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.94-95) \
This quote is said right after Mercuito and Romeo fight. When they are fighting, Romeo is getting his butt whopped and Mercuito jumps in to try to help Romeo. Mercuito jumps in because he doesn't want the families to be sentenced to death. When Romeo tries to separate Mercuito and Tybalt, Tybalt's sword goes underneath Romeo's arm, and stabs, Mercuito. After he gets stabbed, he says that if you ask for him, you will find him a grave man, as in dead. This line is a pun becasue grave has two meanings.
Tate Foret Mr. Rodigue English 1 pre ap 5 November 15, 2013 "But, like a misbehaved and sullen wench, Thou pout'st upon thy fortune and thy love. Take heed, take heed, for such die miserable. Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed. Ascend her chamber, hence, and comfort her." (3.3.143-147)
I chose the quote above found in act 3 scene 3 lines 143 to 147 because, it has figurative language in it. The type of figurative language found above is repetition of words. In the location of this figurative language is "Take head, take head, for such die miserable." The definition of repetition is the action of repeating something that has already been said or written. In this quote Firar Lawrence is talking to Juliet explaining to her that she needs to get over Romeo. He says that she should marry Paris and move on. But, then she would be breaking her religious thing. So she doesn't want to marry Paris because she still loves Romeo.

Mercutio: "Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.94-95) This quote was said by Mercutio after Romeo and Tyblalt were fighting. Mercutio gets stabbed with a sword, and while he is dying he curses both of the families. If it wasn't for the feud, he would not die. This quote is considered a pun because he says one thing that can be comprehended two ways. He is usually a humorous character, but he will be a grave man because he will be serious tomorrow. It can also be taken as he will be dead tomorrow.
"Was ever book containing such vile matter So fairly bound? Oh, that deceit should dwell In such a gorgeous palace! (3.2. 84-86) This was quoted by Juliet, not long after she found out about her new husband killing Tybalt. He was her favorite cousin, and she was very upset that he had done so. At this point, she is very confused on what to feel. She just went though a lot to marry her love, Romeo. She loves him, but he just killed her close cousin, and she is not sure why. She now thinks that she has just loved him for his looks, and not who he really is on the inside. This can be described as an oxymoron, because it combines contradictory expressions, such as "Oh! that deceit should dwell In such a gorgeous palace."
"O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant! Fied angelical! Dove-feathered raven, wolvish-ravening lamd! (Act 3, Scene 2, Page 159)
In this quote, Juliet uses a bunch of oxymorones and metaphors to explain how she feels towards Romeo, when she finds out he killed her cousin Tybalt. When she says, "O serpent heart hid with a flowering face!," she is using a metaphor to compare Romeo to a snake that is disgised as a flower. This basicly means that she can't believe someone as handsome as Romeo could be as eviel as a snake. She also uses oxymorones, when she say, "Beautiful tyrant! Fied angelical!," this means that she is describing Romeo as a someone who is dangerous and eviel but is also someone who you think you could trust. I know what it like to be mad at someone you love; when a family member or a friend does something that you hate it drives you insain and leads you to say some things you don't mean. But in the end, once you calm down, like Juliet, you take back what you said and you love them again.
"Then, window, let day in and let life out." (Act3 Scene5 Page189)
In this quote Juliet uses an idiom when she says, "let life out." What a lot of people would think when they hear this is that their life is over, and this is exactly how Juliet feels. Romeo has to leave in the morning, because he has been banished, so when the ray of the sun come out Juliet says this line as a way of saying, because Romeo is gone, her life is over. In my opinion, I think this is kind of sad because it shows how much women just let men over rule them and make them seem weak. In the real world, women have learned to take charge and not to let men take over. For several years women have had to fight to prove the are just as good as men; so it is kind of sad to see Juliet freak out like that all because Romeo has left her.

"...Here's my fiddlestick; here's that shall make you dance. 'Zounds, consort!" (3.1.44.140)
This quote is I form of figurative language called symbol. A symbol is something that stands for something else. In the quote fiddlestick stands for the sword that Mercutio waved around. He is waving around his sword while taunting Tybalt in order to get him to fight. Mercutio says that his fiddlestick will make him dance because they will be "sort of" fighting and you must move around quickly like dancing. The fighting symbolizes the rivalry between the two families.
"The future will be affected by today's terrible events. Today is the start of a terror that will end the days ahead." (3.1.6)
This quote shows foreshadowing as its figurative language. Romeo says this to Tybalt before they fight. The quote foreshadows that the two families will have many more battles and chaos because of the fighting they are having at the moment. Romeo says, "The future will be affected by today's terrible events." This means that as they fight the future will turn. The second part of the quote, "Today is the start of a terror that will end in the days ahead." , means after they fight, the two families will keep fighting till one of them has victory over the other. Romeo's quote is a good example of figurative language, such as foreshadowing.
Carley Morvant English 1, 5th Period Rodrigue 15 November 2013 Act 3, Scene 1, Lines 94-95 Shakespearian: Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man. Modern English: Ask for me tomorrow, and you’ll find me in a grave. Analysis: This quote is spoken by Mercutio to Romeo after Tybalt stabbed him. The example of figurative language it is would be a pun. A pun is a play on words, and that is exactly what Mercutio was trying to do. Since he knew he was dying, the word “grave” could be used to say he will be in the definition of a “grave” that is a noun. The noun definition of the word “grave” is what they bury people in. The other definition of “grave” is serious. When putting both of the definitions together, we know he will be dead, and that’s the only reason he’s going to be serious. As a person, Mercutio was always making jokes. By saying the pun, he knows he’s only going to be serious once he’s dead. Another take on it is that he could be “dead serious.” This is combining the two definitions together and simply eliminating the pun or just substituting the two definitions for one word to make the actual pun.
Act 3, Scene 2, Line 77 Shakespearian: Dove-feathered raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! Modern English: He’s a raven with the feathers of the dove. Analysis: This line is spoken by Juliet. It is said after she finds out Romeo killed Tybalt. The figure of speech she is using is a metaphor. She is comparing two things without using “like” or “as.” The quote is used in her monologue describing her new opinion and feelings toward Romeo. What she means by all of her metaphors is that she thought he was really good guy but now she thinks he’s not. At first, before he killed Tybalt, she thought Romeo was different than other guys. She also kind of thought he was perfect. Her opinion changed because Romeo killed his cousin-in-law. She thinks that his outsides are hiding what he might really be like on the inside. She also feels bad because she thinks she shouldn’t be talking about her husband that way.

Quote: "No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve.Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.93-95)
Analysis: Mercutio said this quote after Tybalt stabbed him in a fight between the two. He describes his cut that he gets while fighting with Tybalt. He says it is just a scratch, but it is just enough to do damage and later kill him. The figurative language in this quote is the pun Mercutio uses. He says that he will be a grave man. This could mean two different things. A grave is a place where dead people are put, but grave also means something serious. It is also quite ironic. Mercutio is always the one that was there to cheer people up, be a clown, and make people laugh, but now he is dying. It is quite a shock that he is dying. This quote is some of Mercutio’s last words before he dies.
Quote: "O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical! Dove-feathered raven, wolvish-ravening lamb!" (3.2.74-77)
Analysis: Juliet says this quote about Romeo after Nurse tells her that Romeo killed Tybalt. She is very angry with him, and she doesn't know what to say. The figurative language in this quote is metaphors. Juliet uses metaphors to compare Romeo to evil things. She says this about Romeo because she is shocked. She thought he was a great guy and she loved him dearly, but now he has killed her dearest cousin. She is having second thoughts about him, but then she realizes that she is bad talking her husband, and she starts to talk about how great he is again. You can tell Juliet truly loves Romeo from this. She still loves him even after he kills her cousin.

"No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1 93)
This quote was said my Mercutio to Romeo. When Tybalt stabbed Mercutio he said to Romeo that the wound was not very wide or very deep but it was enough to kill him. Mercutio is known as the clown character because he is always trying to make people laugh or he is doing something silly but when he tells Romeo he is dying it is surprising to him that he is being so serious. The word grave is the word that shows figurative language because of its meaning of something that you are put into when you someone dies.
“May a plague strike both of you families! They have turned me into food for worms. I am done for. Curse your families.” (3.1 147)
The figurative language in this quote is foreshadowing because the author is giving a hint of what is going to happen. Romeo said this to Tybalt after they fought because of the long term feud between the families. This battle has sparked many more fights between the two families. The families will not stop until there is a winner.

Quote: “This day’s black fate on more days both depend on. This but begins the woe others must end.” (3.1.115-116)
Analysis: In this scene of the play, an argument between Tybalt and Mercutio breaks out. Romeo attempts to get in between the two and caused Mercutio to get slashed with Tybalt’s sword. It may have just been a scratch but it was life threatening to Mercutio. The quote above is an example of foreshadowing because it is hinting about future events. In other words, this tension between Romeo and Tybalt is a difficult situation. This is so because Tybalt and Juliet are cousins, and Romeo and Juliet got secretly married. Therefore, Tybalt is Romeo’s cousin-in-law. Romeo believes that this incident will only cause more problems in the future, also involving Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. The days after all of this will continue to go downhill and will eventually lead to death. Mercutio’s death was a big deal for Romeo, and he felt that the curse, guilt, and other outside forces will worsen each day.

Quote: "No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.93-95)
Analysis: Mercutio was stabbed by Tybalt’s sword, but it was only a little scratch. As it says in the quote above, it’s not as wide as a church door, but the scratch was just enough to kill him. When Mercutio explains that he’ll be a “grave man”, the word “grave” can be played two different ways. It’s considered a pun, a play on word. It can be used as a burial grave, and also as a sense of being serious. It’s ironic how Marcutio, the joker out of all the characters, displayed a different personality before his death. He was actually serious, only because of the childish actions that took place. So when he was dying, he said “grave man” using it in both meanings, in terms of death and solemnity.
Tate Foret Mr. Rodigue English 1 5th period November 15, 2013 “May a plague strike both of you families! They have turned me into food for worms. I am done for. Curse your families.” (3.1 147)
I chose the quote above located Act 3 scene 1 line 14 because it has a form of figurative language in it. The type of figurative found in the quote above is a foreshadow. I know this because it says that there may be a plague on both the families, Therefore there is something to come that which will happen bad to both families. But, it doesn't explain exactly what happens. The reason for this is to build some type of suspense to keep reading the novel. So, the type of figurative language found above is foreshadowing.

"O serpent heart hid with a flowering face!
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical!
Dove-feathered raven, wolvish-ravening lamb!
Despisèd substance of divinest show,
Just opposite to what thou justly seem’st.
A damnèd saint, an honorable villain!
O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell
When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend
In moral paradise of such sweet flesh?
Was ever book containing such vile matter
So fairly bound? Oh, that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace!" (3.2.74-86)
Juliet speaks these lines of disgust when she hears that her dear husband, Romeo, has killed her dearest cousin, Tybalt. Using metaphors, she compares Romeo to a dragon, a raven, all evil terms because of the sin, the crime he has committed. She describes him having a serpent heart, hid behind a beautiful face, saying as how could he be so evil when he was so beautiful? She says he's vile, evil, for killing her cousin. She just can't, refuses, to believe it, though she does. Juliet is heart broken with disappointment at her husband's doing. She used to think he's a saint but now sees him as a villain. "A damned saint" is meaning that Romeo is and has been in disguise, hiding his true self, in Juliet's eyes.
"O deadly sin! O rude unthankfulness!
Thy fault our law calls death, but the kind Prince,
Taking thy part, hath rushed aside the law,
And turned that black word “death” to “banishment.”
This is dear mercy, and thou seest it not." (3.3.24-29)
These lines are spoken by Friar Lawrence to Romeo. He is disgusted by Romeo's response to being kicked out of Verona rather than being killed. Since he killed Tybalt, who killed Mercutio, he is supposed to be sentenced for death. But, since Tybalt killed Mercutio, he was going to be killed anyway. The prince considered this and then decided to not kill Romeo by banish him. Romeo responds by saying death is better than being banished because if he's banished, he can't see Juliet to where if he's dead, he could watch over her. Friar Lawrence says Romeo is ungrateful for how he is reacting. He explains the reaction by used a metaphor, calling the reaction a sin, an act of ungratefulness, because it is. Romeo, feeling death is better than being banished, is being very ungrateful for his gift of life as opposed to being killed.

"O God, I have an ill-divining soul.
Methinks I see thee now, thou art so low
As one dead in the bottom of a tomb.
Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale."
In the quote above Juliet says this quote. She knows that Romeo is in a lot of trouble. When she say that she have a ill-divining soul, that her soul is filled with so many evil things that might can happened to Romeo. When she says this quote she is having a conversation with Romeo, and Romeo says that all the things that are happening that they can tell the story later in life. When Juliet says that as one dead in the bottom of the tomb, she means that Romeo look dead. In my opinion, I think that he's tired because they just got married and all of the fighting occurred and stuff. Then, she says that her eyesight fail, because Romeo looks so pale, which is another I think that he's tired. He's been hiding in Friar's Lawrence cell and stuff. Juliet is worried about Romeo because all of the events that are happening. (Scene 3 Act 5 Lines 53-56) (Modern Text was used in Personification) (Words 156)
"As if that name,
Shot from the deadly level of a gun,
Did murder her, as that name's cursed hand
Murdered her kinsman. O, tell me, Friar, tell me,
In what vile part of this anatomy
Doth my name lodge? Tell me, that I may sack
The hateful mansion."
The quote was said by Romeo. The nurse walks in and tell Romeo that Juliet is weeping for Romeo and Tybalt. This is when she found out that Romeo killed Tybalt and the nurse goes to Romeo and tell him what his wife is doing. Romeo says that Juliet is calling out his name as he had the bullet murdering her. In my opinion, I think that Romeo feels guilty because he killed one of Juliet's kin folks. Romeo thinks something wrong for him so he thinks that somewhere in his body something is need for embedded, so for he can fix it. He then asks Friar Lawrence that if anything is wrong with him. The quote means that Romeo knows that Juliet is at her home waiting for him, but the news she got about her kin folk is dead and her husband is the one that killed him, which makes Romeo (overall) guilty. Juliet just can't believe that Romeo had did this to Tybalt, which is why Juliet is weeping. (Act 3 Scene 3 Lines 103-109) (The figurative language is used in the Modern Text which is a simile.) (Words 173)

ReplyDelete(Act 3; Scene 5; P: 190-191)
This quote was said by Juliet when her and Romeo were together after he killed Tybalt. They were secretly together and hear her mother coming so he had to leave before Lady Capulet found out. When he was on the ground and she was still on her balcony was when she said this quote. This quote means that Juliet feels that evil things are coming or that she predicts bad things to happen. She states that Romeo looks like someone who is dead or not feeling well. She says that he looks very pale and that she is worried about him. This whole line is just her being scared or worried that something bad will happen to him. ( The figurative language used in this quote is foreshadowing because Juliet feels that something bed will happen.)
"The law that threatened death becomes thy friend and turns it to exile-- there art thou happy. A pack of blessings light upon thy back, happiness courts thee in her best array, but like a misbehaved and sullen wench, thou pout'st upon thy future and thy love." (Act 3; Scene 3; P: 178-179)
This quote took place when Romeo first found out that his punishment for killing Tybalt was to be exiled instead of killed. Instead of being extremely happy about the outcome of the situation, he is upset and mournful because he won't be able to see Juliet. This quote is said by Friar Lawrence. What he is basically saying is that Romeo should be happy with the punishment he received rather than upset by it. He says that the law was easy on Romeo and that Romeo has a life full of blessings. Then Friar Lawrence goes on to say that Romeo is being like a misbehaved, sullen girl that is whining about their bad luck and misfortune. Friar Lawrence is just trying to get Romeo to realize how lucky he was to receive that kind of punishment rather than the normal one. (The Figurative language in this quote is a simile. The simile is used when Friar Lawrence says "But, like a misbehaved and sullen girl" this is saying that Romeo is "like" a little girl.)

"No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.93-95)
Mercutio is explaining the outcome of his injury in this quote. He is saying that is the stab is not very wide or very deep, but it is just enough to kill him. This is an ironic quote because Mercutio is one of the clown characters of the story, which means that he is always making jokes and trying to get the other characters to laugh. So when it is said that he is dying, it is very surprising. The figurative language in this quote is when he says "you shall find me a grave man) because a grave is something that people go into after they are out to death, but grave also means a serious situation.
"Was ever book containing such vile matter
So fairly bound? Oh, that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace! (3.2. 84-86)
Juliet says this when she first finds out about Romeo killing her cousin, Tybalt. She is not sure what to think of the situation, since she is married to someone who has just murdered her own cousin. At this moment in the story she is furious with Romeo and claims that she hates them, which soon her mood on that will change. But in this quote she is saying that Romeo is evil deep down inside but is beautiful on the outside. Which is where the figurative language comes in. She is comparing something evil, which is Romeo, to a beautiful palace without using like or as so it is a metaphor.
Keep up the great work Elise. I can tell you are really getting the hang of the literary devices. If you ever need help, I am here for you. Other than that, I am very proud of you.

"But, like a misbehaved and sullen wench,
Thou pout'st upon thy fortune and thy love.
Take heed, take heed, for such die miserable.
Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed.
Ascend her chamber, hence, and comfort her." (3.3.143-147)
Analysis: In Act three, Scene 3, lines 143 to 147, it includes a simile in the beginning due to it comparing Romeo to a misbehaved sullen wench. Friar Lawrence is stating this quote to the Nurse by trying to influence Romeo to get brave and stand up for what he wants to have in the future before he loses it. Romeo may be kicked out of Verona, but he should be doing everything possible right now to try to see Juliet as much and as where possible. He needs to comfort her into the true word knowing where her and Romeo end up rather than guessing from time to time again. The Nurse feels as if this is great advice for a young handsome man who needs to try to get back on track. Love is being served to Romeo and Juliet. Where they take it from there is where they may end up in the future. Everyone wants the best which is why Friar Lawrence is giving this great advice to several people. This simile helps in the lines due to it showing how well one item is compared to another item throughout school and what not. (197.)

"Evermore weeping for your cousin's death?
What, wilt thou was him from his grave with tears?
An if thou couldst not make him live.
Therefore, have done. Some grief shows much of love,
But much grief shows still some want of wit.' (3.5.69-73)
Analysis: In Act three, Scene five, lines 69 throughout 73, a foreshadowing is being used as a figurative language due to it including future tense words or phrases. This conversation is going on between Lady Capulet and Juliet. Lady Capulet is explaining to Juliet that no matter how much she cries and thinks about Tybalt being dead, there is nothing that could or would bring him back. Her tears would not magically appear healing Tybalt from his grave he now has. This literary advice makes the readers, such as me, think about what we would be doing if we were Juliet. Would we e doing the same thing? Some people may while others may not. He was going to die anyway whether Romeo or someone else did it. It is time for Juliet and her family members to move on because by living in the past, it will not get you anywhere better; only worse. This foreshadowing situation allows the readers to imagine what is going on mentally as well as see it physically. Lady Capulet is absolutely correct in my opinion.(181.)

Mercutio: "Ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.94-95)
These lines use pun as a figurative language. Tybalt and Mercutio got into a fight and Romeo tried to stop it. When Romeo went in between Mercutio and Tybalt to break up the fight, Tybalt was able to wound Mercutio by sliding his sword under Romeo's arm. The figurative language is used when Mercutio says "grave man."(3.1.95) THe word "grave" could mean two things. It could mean serious or dead. Mercutio curses both the Montagues and the Capulets twice. Then Mercutio dies.
DJ 2:
Lady Capulet: "Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn The gallant, young, and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride." (3.5.116-120)
This quote uses dramatic irony. Lady Capult is telling Juliet that Paris will make Juliet his bride Thursday morning. We know that Juliet is already married to Romeo, but her parent don't. They think that if she gets married then she will be happy again. Capulet and Lady Capulet think that she is still crying over Tybalts death, but really she is crying because she will never see Romeo again because he is banished. Her marrying Paris while Romeo is still alive would mean that she is commiting adultery. She tries explaining to her parents that she can't marry Paris, but she can't tell them why she can't marry him. We know why she can't tell her parent's, because of her forbidden and secret marriage with Romeo.

"...Here's my fiddlestick; here's that shall make you dance. 'Zounds, consort!" (Act 3 Scene 1 Line 44 Page 140)
This quote is I form of figurative language known as symbol. A symbol is something that stand for something else. In the quote fiddlestick stands for the sword that Mercutio is waving around. He is waving around he is sword while taunting Tybalt in order to him and get him to fight. Mercutio says that his fiddlestick will make him dance because they will be sort fighting and you must move around quickly like dancing. The fighting also symbolizes the rivalry between the two families.
"Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death. I am content, so thou wilt have it so." (Act 3 Scene 5 Page 186 Line 16)
This quote was spoken by Romeo in response to Juliet saying that he did not have to leave for Mantua. Romeo said that he was ready to be put to death, even though that was not his fate, because he got to spend time with Juliet and say goodbye to her. He was content now, after having seen Juliet, and ready to die. This could symbolize Romeo's death because he just said he was ready and content. So then, it is going to happen.

"Thou art like one of those fellow that, when he enters the confines of a tavern, claps me his sword upon the table and says "God send me no need of thee!" and, by the operation of the second cup, draws it on the drawer when indeed there is no need." (3.1.5-9)
This quote uses simile by comparing Benvolio to men that would instantly fight. Mercutio tends to tell Benvolio about himself because all he worries about is fighting. Pretty much everything he says deals with fighting. This takes place in the streets of Verona. Benvolio is the type of person who don't care what time of day it is, he would want to fight. Just like what Mercutio says, he could say he don't want to use it on anyone but soon he will.

"No, ’tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but ’tis enough, ’twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man. I am peppered, I warrant, for this world. A plague o' both your houses! Zounds, a dog, a rat, a mouse, a cat to scratch a man to death! A braggart, a rogue, a villain that fights by the book of arithmetic! Why the devil came you between us? I was hurt under your arm."
Act 3, Scene 1
Mercutio said this after Tybalt stabbed him. This quote uses foreshadowing and a pun. When he says "Ask for me tomorrow and you shall find me a dead man." it is foreshadowing that he will be dead. He is also using a pun, because he usually has a humorous character but grave means serious. Mercutio called a plague on both houses because they resulted in his death. He had no choice but to hate the Capulets because its been like that since before his time and he is a part of the Montagues. Therefore, fighting for the feud between the two houses because of his ancestors caused his death.
Good job on breaking it down on the figurative language found in the quote.

" Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face, else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek"
This quote is found in Act 2, Scene 1. This quote is said by Juliet I believe towards Romeo. This is a form of figurative language because it is a metaphor. It is a metaphor because she is comparing the night to her face. Romeo is being nice and swaying her. So what she means by this their is a "mask" of the night covering her face. If the dark or the night was not their it would show her blushing. The night is like a "mask" covering her from blushing and things like that after Romeo was being sweet and nice.
" My grave is like to be my wedding bed"
This quote is said by juliet. Two types of figurative I think. Irony and simile is found in this quote. Simile because it is compaing a "grave" to a "wedding bed" with using like or as. But this quote is very ironic. Reason being she says she is dying to see and be with Romeo. She is mourning to be with him and she is dying too. This is were the irony comes in. She is dying to be with him but later in the story she does. She ends up being with him but both end up dead together in a grave instead of a wedding bed and living. So she is dying to be with him but ends up dying with him.

"The future will be affected by today's terrible events. Today is the start of a terror that will end the days ahead."
Act 3, Scene 1, Page 6
This quote shows foreshadowing as its figurative language. Romeo says this to Tybalt before they fight. The quote foreshadows that the two families will have many more battles and chaos because of the fighting they are having at the moment. Romeo says, "The future will be affected by today's terrible events." , meaning as they fight the future will turn and turn. The second part of the quote, "Today is the start of a terror that will end in the days ahead." , means after they fight, the two families will keep fighting till one of them fail to win. Romeo's quote is a good example of figurative language, such as foreshadowing.

"My grave is like to be my wedding bed"
This quote has a figurative language of irony. I say it is irony because in the story, Juliet is saying how she is dying to be with him and how bad she wants to be with him in her life. Well, this quote is an exaple of irony because when she is saying that she is dying to be with him, it really is true in the end. She died with him. So, both of them are dead together in a grave, just like she had said in the quote. "This grave is like to be my wedding bed" actually happens and it is an ironic sitiuation for the audence to find out. Since she didnt mean it literaly in the first place.
"The future is affected by today's terrible events. Today is the start of terror that will end the days ahead."
This quote shows the figurative language of foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is when a charactor predicts something that will happen in the furture. Usually, in movies you would see what the charactor is thinking what moght happen and it really does happen in the movie somewhere. Well, in this part of the play, Romeo is talking to Tybalt face to face when they are about to fight. And this quote means that both of the families will fight just because they have started now and when one of them loses, it will mean a win for the other.

"Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man" (3.1.94-95)
This passage/quote is said by Mercutio to Romeo. He had gotten into a fight with Tybalt, and Romeo was trying to break them up. In the process Mercutio was stabbed by Tybalt. This line is said shortly after those events. The type of figurative language used here would be a pun.It takes place when Mercutio says "grave man." This term could either mean one of two things, dead or serious. Being this quote came shortly after he was stabbed by Tybalt the reader can interpret this as either one, dead or serious. The main reason I think this is a pun is because Mercutio is one of the comedic release characters which means he is almost never serious. This is a good example of a pun.
"Is there no pity sitting in the clouds
That sees into the bottom of my grief?-
O sweet my mother, cast me not away!
Delay this marriage for a month, a week.
Or, if you do not, make the bridal bed
In that dim monument where Tybalt lies." (3.5.197-202)
This passage/quote is very important to the story. It is said by Juliet to Lady Capulet. She is basically telling her mother that if she has to marry Paris she is better off dead. This is because she is secretly married to Romeo, and her parents do not know about it. She knows that she would be commiting adultry. Ithink the ffigurative language used in this quote would be a metaphor. The reason being for this is her comparison of the bridal bed to Tybalt's tomb. Throught this entire quote she is telling Lady Capulet that if she has to marry Paris then make her a tomb instead of a bridal bed. This quote is a good example of a metaphor.

Quote: "The future will be affected by today's terrible events. Today is the start of a terror that will end in the days ahead."( Act 3, Scene 1, Page 147)
Analysis: The figurative language for this quote would be foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is when an author gives hints to what might happen later on. Romeo said this quote to Tybalt before they fought. This quote was foreshadowing that there will be many more battles between these families. This one battle will be the beginning of many more. These families will not stop the battle until one wins.
Quote: "May a plague strike both your families! They've turned me into food for worms. I'm done for. Curse your families! ( Act 3, Scene 1, Page 147)
Analysis: The figurative language for this quote would be foreshadowing. Just like in the quote above, foreshadowing is when the author gives little hints to what will later happen in. When Mercutio said this, he was just stabbed by Tybalt and was about to die. This foreshadows what might later on happen to the families. Maybe since he put a curse on these families, something bad will happen towards the end. Mercutio wants to set a curse on these two families because he thinks they are the reasons for him dying.

Delete"But, like a misbehaved and sullen wench,
DeleteThou pout'st upon thy fortune and thy love.
Take heed, take heed, for such die miserable.
Ascend her chamber, hence, and comfort her." (3.3.143-147)
Analysis: In Act three, Scene 3, lines 143 to 147, it includes a simile in the beginning due to it comparing Romeo to a misbehaved sullen wench. Friar Lawrence is stating this quote to the Nurse by trying to influence Romeo to get brave and stand up for what he wants to have in the future before he loses it. Romeo may be kicked out of Verona, but he should be doing everything possible right now to try to see Juliet as much and as where possible. He needs to comfort her into the true word knowing where her and Romeo end up rather than guessing from time to time again. The Nurse feels as if this is great advice for a young handsome man who needs to try to get back on track. Love is being served to Romeo and Juliet. Where they take it from there is where they may end up in the future. Everyone wants the best which is why Friar Lawrence is giving this great advice to several people. This simile helps in the lines due to it showing how well one item is compared to another item throughout school and what not.

Mercutio: "Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man."
(3.1.94-95)
This quote happens right after Mercutio and Tybalt fight. When they are fighting Romeo tries to break up the fight between them. He does this because the Prince has told them if they do not keep the peace in the city the people who are fighting will be sentenced to death. However, when Romeo was trying to separate the fight Tybalt's sword goes underneath Romeo's arm and stabs Mercutio. In the quote Mercutio is saying how the cut is bad enough to where if you ask for him tomorrow he will be dead by then. In the this quote, "Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.94-95) there is also some figurative language. When Mercutio says you will find me a grave man this is a pun. It's a pun because he uses the word "grave" with two different meanings. In conclusion, this quote is about Mercutio expressing how he will be sea by tomorrow.
Capulet: "Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!"
(3.5.160)
This quote takes place after Juliet has refuse's to marry Paris. When Juliet tells her dad that she will not marry Paris he gets very angry. He says many things such as you worthless, unthankful girl. In the quote, "Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!"
(3.5.160) Capulet is telling Juliet that she is Disrespectful and a wretch. However, when Capulet called Juliet a wretch he is using figurative language. The type of figurative language that he uses is a Metaphor. It is a Metaphor because he is calling Juliet a wretch. However, we all know that she isn't really a wretch but he is just meaning that she is being a unhappy person. In conclusion, this quote is about Capulet telling Juliet disrespectful things because he is angry that Juliet is not wanting to marry Paris.

"No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.93-95
Mercutio was talking about his wound after he Romeo had stabbed him.He is saying that it's not that wide nor that deep but it's deep enough to kill him.This situation is ironic and it is ironic because Mercutio was one of the characters in the story that was funny and liked to clown. Meaning that he was always making that characters laugh. Something is figurative language is when he says that"you shall find me a grave man". Grave has two meaning one means that when you die you goes to a grave, but then grave also means seriously.
"Was ever book containing such vile matter

Juliet was saying this when she first found out about her cousin Tybalt who was now dead. She isn't really sure about what happen she is confuse. The man whom she just married has just killed her cousin.So her reaction is surprisingly. She is saying that Romeo is evil within that moment but on the outside he is fine. She really can't control her moods at this point.She is comparing something evil, whom to be Romeo, to a beautiful palace without using like or as so it is a metaphor.

In this quote Juleit is talking. This is the part where Romeo and Juliet are saying goodbye to each other because of the banishment. The quote is foreshadowing or predicting the future of what will happen. Juliet expects something evil to come within the future.

Act III
November 15, 2013
Quote: "No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (Act 3.Scene 1.Lines 93-95).
Analysis: Stated on page 144, Mercutio is explaining the aftermath of being stabbed by Tybalt’s sword. Mercutio is describing his stab as not a big thing, but it was enough to do damage. He says that the cut isn’t as big or as deep as a church door due to church doors meaning that it wasn’t the biggest womb ever. But, however, he says the stab is enough and it will kill him. He tells Romeo “As for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man” meaning he is dying. This strikes as ironic due to Mercutio is the clown of the story along with the nurse, but he is serious. The words “grave man” is an example of the figurative language used in his death due to the word grave can mean the place where you are placed once you die or very serious. This overall is the explanation Mercutio gave Romeo to tell him…he is dying.
Quote: Lady Capulet: "Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn the gallant, young, and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride." (Act (Act 3. Scene 5.lines 116-120)
Analysis: This quote is describing when Lady Capulet gave the bad news to Juliet. As ironic as it is, Juliet has just given herself in marriage to Romeo, the man who is now exiled out of the town for killing Tybalt. Because of the fact that the parents of Juliet are unaware of the marriage, they have chosen for her to marry Paris. The figurative language presented in this quote is dramatic irony. This is due to Juliet having just received her first encounter of “love” with Romeo and now…she is being forced into marriage.
Great job at explaining that you understand the quotes you chose!

Delete"Ask me for tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1 94-95)
ReplyDeleteThis is an important quote in the story because it happens right before Mercutio dies. Him and Tybalt were fighting and Tybalt kills him. While missing Romeo with his sword, Tybalt slashes Mercutio in the side. It doesn't kill him right away but because there is no medical things in that time he dies because he can't be healed. Also, the quote is a pun because he uses the word "grave" in two meanings. One could be serious and the other is like a grave you are buried in. So this is an important quote used in Act III and also contains a type of figurative language.
"As if that name,
Shot from the deadly level of a gun,
Did murder her, as that name's cursed hand
Murdered her kinsman." (3.3 102-105)
This quote is also very meaningful in Act III because this is Romeo talking about killing Tybalt. After Tybalt killed Mercutio, Romeo was very angry and did something very bad. He went back after Tybalt and shot him dead. Juliet is depressed that he killed her cousin, but she also loves Romeo too much and doesn't want anything bad happening to him. His punishment was banishment and now they are both depressed of not seeing each other. Also this quote has a simile which is a type of figurative language. Romeo is comparing her calling out his name, to the bullet coming out the gun. So this quote is very meaningful in Act III and also contains a type of figurative language.

"Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn The gallant, young, and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride." (3.5.116-120)
This quote is darmatic irony. While Lady Capulet is so positive that Juliet would be happy to marry Paris, she's really hoping to be with Romeo. Her mother was explaining to her the news about her and Paris to be wed. The only problem was, Juliet was already married to Romeo. So she wasn't so happy about this. She and her mother began to fight which let to her getting threatened to get kicked out of the house. Juliet was worried more about the sin she would make if she was to marry another man, but she could not tell her mother what she had down. It's dramatic irony because we know what happened, and the people in the movie do not.
"O deadly sin! O rude unthankfulness!
Thy fault our law calls death, but the kind Prince,
Taking thy part, hath rushed aside the law,
And turned that black word “death” to “banishment.”
This is dear mercy, and thou seest it not." (3.3.24-29)
This was when Romeo found out that he was being banished instead of being killed. Which was his reward for killing Tybalt for him killing Mercutio. But to Romeo's dismay, he rather have been killed than to be apart from Juliet. Friar Lawrence calls him unthankful because he could have been killed, but he is given the chance to be somewhere else and not make the same mistakes. Romeo refuses to take them because of his love for Juliet. He constately complains about wanting to die instead of being banished.

(3.1.94-95) \
This quote is said right after Mercuito and Romeo fight. When they are fighting, Romeo is getting his butt whopped and Mercuito jumps in to try to help Romeo.
Mercuito jumps in because he doesn't want the families to be sentenced to death. When Romeo tries to separate Mercuito and Tybalt, Tybalt's sword goes underneath Romeo's arm, and stabs, Mercuito. After he gets stabbed, he says that if you ask for him, you will find him a grave man, as in dead. This line is a pun becasue grave has two meanings.

I chose the quote above found in act 3 scene 3 lines 143 to 147 because, it has figurative language in it. The type of figurative language found above is repetition of words. In the location of this figurative language is "Take head, take head, for such die miserable." The definition of repetition is the action of repeating something that has already been said or written. In this quote Firar Lawrence is talking to Juliet explaining to her that she needs to get over Romeo. He says that she should marry Paris and move on. But, then she would be breaking her religious thing. So she doesn't want to marry Paris because she still loves Romeo.

Mercutio: "Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man."
(3.1.94-95)
This quote was said by Mercutio after Romeo and Tyblalt were fighting. Mercutio gets stabbed with a sword, and while he is dying he curses both of the families. If it wasn't for the feud, he would not die. This quote is considered a pun because he says one thing that can be comprehended two ways. He is usually a humorous character, but he will be a grave man because he will be serious tomorrow. It can also be taken as he will be dead tomorrow.
"Was ever book containing such vile matter
So fairly bound? Oh, that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace! (3.2. 84-86)
This was quoted by Juliet, not long after she found out about her new husband killing Tybalt. He was her favorite cousin, and she was very upset that he had done so. At this point, she is very confused on what to feel. She just went though a lot to marry her love, Romeo. She loves him, but he just killed her close cousin, and she is not sure why. She now thinks that she has just loved him for his looks, and not who he really is on the inside. This can be described as an oxymoron, because it combines contradictory expressions, such as "Oh! that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace."
"O serpent heart hid with a flowering face!
ReplyDeleteDid ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
Beautiful tyrant! Fied angelical!
Dove-feathered raven, wolvish-ravening lamd! (Act 3, Scene 2, Page 159)
In this quote, Juliet uses a bunch of oxymorones and metaphors to explain how she feels towards Romeo, when she finds out he killed her cousin Tybalt. When she says, "O serpent heart hid with a flowering face!," she is using a metaphor to compare Romeo to a snake that is disgised as a flower. This basicly means that she can't believe someone as handsome as Romeo could be as eviel as a snake. She also uses oxymorones, when she say, "Beautiful tyrant! Fied angelical!," this means that she is describing Romeo as a someone who is dangerous and eviel but is also someone who you think you could trust. I know what it like to be mad at someone you love; when a family member or a friend does something that you hate it drives you insain and leads you to say some things you don't mean. But in the end, once you calm down, like Juliet, you take back what you said and you love them again.
"Then, window, let day in and let life out." (Act3 Scene5 Page189)
In this quote Juliet uses an idiom when she says, "let life out." What a lot of people would think when they hear this is that their life is over, and this is exactly how Juliet feels. Romeo has to leave in the morning, because he has been banished, so when the ray of the sun come out Juliet says this line as a way of saying, because Romeo is gone, her life is over. In my opinion, I think this is kind of sad because it shows how much women just let men over rule them and make them seem weak. In the real world, women have learned to take charge and not to let men take over. For several years women have had to fight to prove the are just as good as men; so it is kind of sad to see Juliet freak out like that all because Romeo has left her.

"...Here's my fiddlestick; here's that shall make you dance. 'Zounds, consort!" (3.1.44.140)
This quote is I form of figurative language called symbol. A symbol is something that stands for something else. In the quote fiddlestick stands for the sword that Mercutio waved around. He is waving around his sword while taunting Tybalt in order to get him to fight. Mercutio says that his fiddlestick will make him dance because they will be "sort of" fighting and you must move around quickly like dancing. The fighting symbolizes the rivalry between the two families.
"The future will be affected by today's terrible events. Today is the start of a terror that will end the days ahead." (3.1.6)
This quote shows foreshadowing as its figurative language. Romeo says this to Tybalt before they fight. The quote foreshadows that the two families will have many more battles and chaos because of the fighting they are having at the moment. Romeo says, "The future will be affected by today's terrible events." This means that as they fight the future will turn. The second part of the quote, "Today is the start of a terror that will end in the days ahead." , means after they fight, the two families will keep fighting till one of them has victory over the other. Romeo's quote is a good example of figurative language, such as foreshadowing.

Act 3, Scene 1, Lines 94-95
Shakespearian: Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man.
Modern English: Ask for me tomorrow, and you’ll find me in a grave.
Analysis: This quote is spoken by Mercutio to Romeo after Tybalt stabbed him. The example of figurative language it is would be a pun. A pun is a play on words, and that is exactly what Mercutio was trying to do. Since he knew he was dying, the word “grave” could be used to say he will be in the definition of a “grave” that is a noun. The noun definition of the word “grave” is what they bury people in. The other definition of “grave” is serious. When putting both of the definitions together, we know he will be dead, and that’s the only reason he’s going to be serious. As a person, Mercutio was always making jokes. By saying the pun, he knows he’s only going to be serious once he’s dead. Another take on it is that he could be “dead serious.” This is combining the two definitions together and simply eliminating the pun or just substituting the two definitions for one word to make the actual pun.
Act 3, Scene 2, Line 77
Shakespearian: Dove-feathered raven, wolvish-ravening lamb!
Modern English: He’s a raven with the feathers of the dove.
Analysis: This line is spoken by Juliet. It is said after she finds out Romeo killed Tybalt. The figure of speech she is using is a metaphor. She is comparing two things without using “like” or “as.” The quote is used in her monologue describing her new opinion and feelings toward Romeo. What she means by all of her metaphors is that she thought he was really good guy but now she thinks he’s not. At first, before he killed Tybalt, she thought Romeo was different than other guys. She also kind of thought he was perfect. Her opinion changed because Romeo killed his cousin-in-law. She thinks that his outsides are hiding what he might really be like on the inside. She also feels bad because she thinks she shouldn’t be talking about her husband that way.

Quote: "No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve.Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man."
(3.1.93-95)
Analysis: Mercutio said this quote after Tybalt stabbed him in a fight between the two. He describes his cut that he gets while fighting with Tybalt. He says it is just a scratch, but it is just enough to do damage and later kill him. The figurative language in this quote is the pun Mercutio uses. He says that he will be a grave man. This could mean two different things. A grave is a place where dead people are put, but grave also means something serious. It is also quite ironic. Mercutio is always the one that was there to cheer people up, be a clown, and make people laugh, but now he is dying. It is quite a shock that he is dying. This quote is some of Mercutio’s last words before he dies.
Quote: "O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical! Dove-feathered raven, wolvish-ravening lamb!"
(3.2.74-77)
Analysis: Juliet says this quote about Romeo after Nurse tells her that Romeo killed Tybalt. She is very angry with him, and she doesn't know what to say. The figurative language in this quote is metaphors. Juliet uses metaphors to compare Romeo to evil things. She says this about Romeo because she is shocked. She thought he was a great guy and she loved him dearly, but now he has killed her dearest cousin. She is having second thoughts about him, but then she realizes that she is bad talking her husband, and she starts to talk about how great he is again. You can tell Juliet truly loves Romeo from this. She still loves him even after he kills her cousin.

"No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1 93)
This quote was said my Mercutio to Romeo. When Tybalt stabbed Mercutio he said to Romeo that the wound was not very wide or very deep but it was enough to kill him. Mercutio is known as the clown character because he is always trying to make people laugh or he is doing something silly but when he tells Romeo he is dying it is surprising to him that he is being so serious. The word grave is the word that shows figurative language because of its meaning of something that you are put into when you someone dies.
“May a plague strike both of you families! They have turned me into food for worms. I am done for. Curse your families.” (3.1 147)
The figurative language in this quote is foreshadowing because the author is giving a hint of what is going to happen. Romeo said this to Tybalt after they fought because of the long term feud between the families. This battle has sparked many more fights between the two families. The families will not stop until there is a winner.

Quote: “This day’s black fate on more days both depend on. This but begins the woe others must end.” (3.1.115-116)
Analysis: In this scene of the play, an argument between Tybalt and Mercutio breaks out. Romeo attempts to get in between the two and caused Mercutio to get slashed with Tybalt’s sword. It may have just been a scratch but it was life threatening to Mercutio. The quote above is an example of foreshadowing because it is hinting about future events. In other words, this tension between Romeo and Tybalt is a difficult situation. This is so because Tybalt and Juliet are cousins, and Romeo and Juliet got secretly married. Therefore, Tybalt is Romeo’s cousin-in-law. Romeo believes that this incident will only cause more problems in the future, also involving Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. The days after all of this will continue to go downhill and will eventually lead to death. Mercutio’s death was a big deal for Romeo, and he felt that the curse, guilt, and other outside forces will worsen each day.

Quote: "No, 'tis not so deep as a well nor so wide as a church-door, but 'tis enough, twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man." (3.1.93-95)
Analysis: Mercutio was stabbed by Tybalt’s sword, but it was only a little scratch. As it says in the quote above, it’s not as wide as a church door, but the scratch was just enough to kill him. When Mercutio explains that he’ll be a “grave man”, the word “grave” can be played two different ways. It’s considered a pun, a play on word. It can be used as a burial grave, and also as a sense of being serious. It’s ironic how Marcutio, the joker out of all the characters, displayed a different personality before his death. He was actually serious, only because of the childish actions that took place. So when he was dying, he said “grave man” using it in both meanings, in terms of death and solemnity.

“May a plague strike both of you families! They have turned me into food for worms. I am done for. Curse your families.” (3.1 147)
I chose the quote above located Act 3 scene 1 line 14 because it has a form of figurative language in it. The type of figurative found in the quote above is a foreshadow. I know this because it says that there may be a plague on both the families, Therefore there is something to come that which will happen bad to both families. But, it doesn't explain exactly what happens. The reason for this is to build some type of suspense to keep reading the novel. So, the type of figurative language found above is foreshadowing.
