Wonderful and ominous this birth of love is to her, and ominious it turns out to be. It gives her joy and happiness, this is true, but is also the cause of her death, which brings in the ominous part. She fears this new love as well as embraces it, more so because she feels it will lead her somewhere sorrowful because she loves a hated enemy. It certainly leads her to sorrow, but not because Romeo is a Montague, but because she loves him so fiercely that she would die to be with him.

When Juliet fakes death, she is entombed in stone, where later Romeo finds her. His love is so great, he would break down the iron and stone door to be with her, and no stone tomb can keep him out. He feels that love can extend beyond the living world (hence the stone reference) so he takes his own life to break the barrier of the living world and reach beyond to where he thinks Juliet is.

Benvolio says this right before Mercutio picks a fight with Tybalt and is killed, which only proved Benvolio's point of Mercutio's lust to pick a fight. Death bought the last hour of Mercutio's life because of his sharp tongue to Tybalt, and Benvolio is saying that if he was like Mercutio, he might as well sell his own life to death.

Romeo will not miss an opportunity to show how much he loves Juliet, even if it means taking his own life to be with her in death. To show his love to Juliet and to the rest of the world, Romeo kills himself to always be with her. He would not live his life on earth if Juliet was not there to be with him.

"So smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after-hours with sorrow chide us not!" -Friar

The Friar is hinting that there will be sorrow later in the play by hoping that there will be none. In Shakespeare, usually when someone asks for something, they do get answered, and in this case, by the sorrowful deaths of Romeo and Juliet came the ending of the feud, which was what the Friar wanted the whole time.

"And I were so apt to quarrel as thou art, any man should buy the fee-sample of my life and an hour and a quarter." -Benvolio

"I will omit no opportunity, miss no chance that may convey my greetings, love, to thee." -Romeo

"This torture should be roared in dismal hell! Hath Romeo slain himself? Say thou but "ay" just and that bare vowel "I" shall poison more!" -Juliet

After Romeo is exiled, Juliet laments that Romeo has practically killed himself by getting himself banished, and she fears that if he goes, she will be more poisonous to herself than any other. This is slightly ironic because later in the play, Romeo poisons himself, and Juliet takes her life with a dagger, the opposite of what she said here. Yet this is still foretelling deaths that end in poison and slaughter.

"Death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead!" -Juliet

"But to the earth some special good doth give, nor aught so good but, strained from that fair use, revolts from ture birth, stumbling on abuse.Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, and vie sometimes by action dignified." -Friar

Juliet is saying that death, not Romeo, will take her someplace she had never been. She does not get to chose much in her life, but she will chose this. And this comes true when death is something she chose and takes her someplace she had never been before

The Friar is saying that humankind get something good, and that amything can be said it is good, but if it is used for evil it changes to something abused for harm. However, if vice is missused, then it can result in good. Humans have minds to think use, but when they are used for hatred, as in the families of Capulet and Montague, minds are twisted for evil. But the deaths that come of the hatred, mainly Romeo and Juliet's, are used as a peacemaker for the feuding families.

"For stony limits cannot hold love out," -Romeo

"But come what sorrow can, it cannot

countervail the exchange of joy that one short minutes gives me in her sight." -Romeo

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Foreshadowing Quotes

By: Tyanna Baker

The joy of one minute with Juliet will outweigh any sorrows that come to Romeo. At least, that's what Romeo thinks before he believes Juliet dead. This is foreshadowing a sorrow in the futures of Romeo and Juliet, though neither knows what kind of tragedy will befall them. Romeo believes one minutes of joy with Juliet will counter any sadness he feels, which is maybe how he feels as he dies. One last look, then no more.

"These violent delights have violent ends," -Friar

Romeo and Juliet's love started so suddenly, and it would end all to violently. Romeo kills himself for the love of Juliet

and Juliet does the same after she sees him dead. They both

had a violent lust for each other, but it all ended suddenly.

"Prodigious birth of love it is to me," -Juliet
