  4. Romeo sees Juliet • How is Romeo’s reaction to Juliet different to his words on Rosaline? • Page 39 “What lady’s that which doth enrich the hand/Of yonder knight?” • His language now takes on a richness and beauty which was missing earlier when he spoke about Rosaline. • Rather than act like a lovesick fool, the focus of his attention moves away from himself and the audience has no doubt that he is truly in love. • It is love at first sight.

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night As a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear/Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear/So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows/As yonder lady o’er her fellows shows./The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand/And touching hers, make blessed my rude hand./Did my heart love til now? Forswear it, sight!/For I ne’er saw true beauty til this night.” • Extension: explain why they are used and the effectiveness of the quotation.
