The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Directions: Mark the elements of the Shakespearean sonnet in the following conversation between Romeo and Juliet. These include:
• Rhyme scheme (abab, etc.) • Accentual Meter (unstressed/stressed syllables) • Three Quatrains (stanza of four lines) • Rhyming couplet (a pair of lines)
Act I, scene 5, lines 91-‐104 ᵕ ' ᵕ ' ᵕ ' ᵕ ' ᵕ ' Rhyme 91 Romeo. If I profane with my unworthiest hand a 92 This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: 93 My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand 94 To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
95 Juliet. Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, 96 Which mannerly devotion shows in this; 97 For saints have hands that pilgrim’s hands do touch, 98 And palm to palm is holy palmer’s kiss.
99 Romeo. Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
100 Juliet. Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
101 Romeo. O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do! 102 They pray; grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
103 Juliet. Saints do not move, though grant for prayer’s sake.
104 Romeo. Then move not while my prayer’s effect I take.
Analyze it! After annotating lines 91-‐104, answer the following questions in complete sentences on the characters’ use of figurative language. What does Romeo compare Juliet to in lines 92 and 101? How do the other references in these lines develop this comparison? What does the metaphor they develop in these lines convey about their relationship?
