    3. 2.The Sources The story of Romeo and Juliet was well known in several forms before Shakespeare wrote his play. It is likely that he was inspired by the long poem written by Arthur Brooke in 1562, but he turned the story into a more complex and interesting one

    10. 5.Themes Love

    11. The pure, absolute love of Romeo and Juliet is different from the idea of love embodied by other characters: Juliet’s father = a contract between families Juliet’s nurse = physical love Count Paris = love linked to the idea of decorum and correct behaviour

    12. The lack of knowledge coming from bad communication The feud between the two families Old hate vs young love Speed as the medium of fate The reflection upon the language made by Juliet ? appearance vs reality. When she asks why Romeo is a Montague, she reflects upon the relationship between a “name” and “what it stands for”, she underlines that Romeo is her lover and yet an enemy by his name Animazioni: prima il titolo, poi un punto per voltaAnimazioni: prima il titolo, poi un punto per volta

    15. In the balcony scene Romeo associates Juliet with the sunlight, the daylight and the light emanating from angels.

    16. Juliet, in turn, compares their love to lightning to stress the speed at which their romance is moving and to suggest that, as the lightning is a break in the blackness of the night sky, so their love is a flash of wonderful radiance in a dark world

    17. From II act the image of light is gradually replaced by the image of darkness. The gloomy end of the play is anticipated by the fact that Shakespeare used nocturnal scenes: when the two characters met at the ball; in the balcony scene; the wedding night. The final indication that darkness has triumphed over light comes from the last act when Romeo finds Juliet motionless in the tomb and decides to kill himself proceeding towards eternal darkness.
