Romeo & Juliet

Light/Dark Imagery ? One of the play?s most consistent visual motifs is the contrast between light and dark, often in terms of night/day imagery. This contrast is not given a particular metaphoric meaning?light is not always good, and dark is not always evil. On the contrary, light and dark are generally used to provide a sensory contrast and to hint at opposed alternatives Personification occurs when an inanimate object or concept is given the qualities of a person or animal. Juliet? ?For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night / Whiter than new snow on a raven?s back. / Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow?d night? (Act III Sc. 2) An oxymoron describes when two juxtaposed words have opposing or very diverse meanings.

Female Characters in Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth William Shakespeare is generally considered an avant-garde writer with progressive ideas about gender. Because of the era in which he wrote, the women in his plays generally had to be wives, servants, or a woman of some type of ill repute. But an examination of the female characters of three of his major tragedies shows that though these women may have been secondary to the men in their lives, they were still complex, round characters and deserving of as much attention and analysis as their male counterparts.
