Romeo and Juliet are one of the most famous couples in all of literature. In

telling the story of these young lovers, William Shakespeare used his dramatic

skills to bring to life a tale filled with action, passion, humor, and tragedy.

Romeo and Juliet are teenagers, like you. Do you think that their story could

take place today?

LITERARY FOCUS: TRAGEDYA tragedy tells about serious and important actions that end unhappily. In

fact, tragedies often end in death. Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy about two

teenagers who fall in love. As you read this scene from the play, look for

hints that foreshadow what will happen to their love.

READING SKILLS: PARAPHRASINGWhen you paraphrase a text, you restate it using your own words. Note that

a paraphrase differs from a summary. A paraphrase is a detail-by-detail

retelling; a summary is a condensed form of the original text_made up of

only the main details. Here is a checklist for paraphrasing:

• Have you replaced difficult words with simpler words?

• Have you restated figures of speech (similes and metaphors) in your own

words? Have you clarified what is being compared with what?

• Have you restructured sentences so that they are clearer? For example, if

a sentence says “Bury me not on the lone prairie,” you might paraphrase

it to read “Don’t bury me on the lonely prairie.”

• Does your paraphrase include all the details in the original text?

WORD ORIGINS: ARCHAIC WORDSShakespeare wrote this play more than four hundred years ago, so it’s only

natural that a great many of the words he uses have either disappeared from

the English language or taken on new meanings. Words that have dropped

out of common use are called archaic (är·k†√ik) words. Footnotes will help you

with the meanings of these outdated words and expressions.

Below are some of the archaic words you will encounter as you read

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet takes place long ago in Verona,

Italy. Two families, the Montagues and the Capulets, are sworn

enemies. Even their servants fight when they meet in the street.

When we first meet Romeo, who is a Montague, he is pining for a

girl named Rosaline, who does not return his affections. To distract

Romeo, his friends Mercutio and Benvolio take him to a party at

the home of the Capulets. It’s a masquerade, so the boys wear

masks. There, Romeo and Juliet, who is a Capulet, fall in love at

first sight. Only after they talk and share their first kiss do they dis-

cover they have fallen in love with an enemy. Following the party,

Romeo makes his way to Juliet’s house, where he hides in the

orchard, hoping to catch a glimpse of his new love. His friends have

just left him. They have been teasing him for being in love—but

they think he still loves Rosaline.

Scene 2. Capulet’s orchard.

Romeo (coming forward).

He jests at scars that never felt a wound.

[Enter JULIET at a window.]

But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?

It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!

THE

TRA OF

ROMEOANDJULIET

* *

GEDY

act II, Scene 2William Shakespeare

Paraphrase Romeo’s first line.What is Romeo saying toBenvolio, who has just leftthe scene?

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,

Who is already sick and pale with grief

That thou her maid1 art far more fair than she.

Be not her maid, since she is envious.

Her vestal livery2 is but sick and green,3

And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.

It is my lady! O, it is my love!

O, that she knew she were!

She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that?

Her eye discourses;4 I will answer it.

I am too bold; ’tis not to me she speaks.

Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,

Having some business, do entreat her eyes

To twinkle in their spheres till they return.

What if her eyes were there, they in her head?

The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars

As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven

Would through the airy region stream so bright

That birds would sing and think it were not night.

See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!

O, that I were a glove upon that hand,

That I might touch that cheek!

Juliet. Ay me!

Romeo. She speaks.

O, speak again, bright angel, for thou art

As glorious to this night, being o’er my head,

As is a wingèd messenger of heaven

Unto the white-upturnèd wond’ring eyes

Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him

When he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds

1. thou her maid: Juliet, whom Romeo sees as the servant of the virgingoddess of the moon, Diana in Roman mythology.

2. vestal livery: maidenly clothing. 3. sick and green: Unmarried girls supposedly had “greensickness,” or

anemia.4. discourses: speaks.

Re-read lines 2-6. What doesRomeo compare Juliet to?Why is the moon envious?

Re-read lines 10-23.Underline all the lines inwhich Romeo comparesJuliet’s eyes to stars.

And sails upon the bosom of the air.

Juliet.

O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore5 art thou Romeo?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name;

Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,

And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.

Romeo (aside).

Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

Juliet.

’Tis but thy name that is my enemy.

Thou art thyself, though not6 a Montague.

What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,

Nor arm, nor face. O, be some other name

Belonging to a man.

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose

By any other word would smell as sweet.

So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,

Retain that dear perfection which he owes7

Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name;

And for thy name, which is no part of thee,

Take all myself.

Romeo. I take thee at thy word.

Call me but love, and I’ll be new baptized;

Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

Juliet.

What man art thou, that, thus bescreened in night,

So stumblest on my counsel?8

Romeo. By a name

I know not how to tell thee who I am.

My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself

Because it is an enemy to thee.

Had I it written, I would tear the word.

An aside is a remark thatother characters onstage arenot supposed to hear. Whomis Romeo speaking to in line37? Who is not supposed tohear him?

Romeo finally speaks toJuliet in lines 49-51, butJuliet has to ask who he is(lines 52-53). Why can’t shesee him?

Underline lines 43-44, whichare often quoted. RestateJuliet’s lines in your ownwords.

5. Wherefore: why. In other words, “Why is your name Romeo?” (It isthe name of her enemy.)

6. though not: even if you were not.7. owes: owns.8. counsel: private thoughts.

Juliet.

My ears have yet not drunk a hundred words

Of thy tongue’s uttering, yet I know the sound.

Art thou not Romeo, and a Montague?

Romeo.

Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike.

Juliet.

How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?

The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,

And the place death, considering who thou art,

If any of my kinsmen find thee here.

Romeo.

With love’s light wings did I o’erperch9 these walls;

For stony limits cannot hold love out,

And what love can do, that dares love attempt.

Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.

Juliet.

If they do see thee, they will murder thee.

Romeo.

Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye

Than twenty of their swords! Look thou but sweet,

And I am proof10 against their enmity.

Juliet.

I would not for the world they saw thee here.

Romeo.

I have night’s cloak to hide me from their eyes;

And but11 thou love me, let them find me here.

My life were better ended by their hate

Than death proroguèd,12 wanting of thy love.

Juliet.

By whose direction found’st thou out this place?

What is Juliet’s concern inlines 62-70?

Paraphrase lines 58–59. Whatdoes Juliet mean?

9. o’erperch: fly over.10. proof: armored.11. but: if only.12. proroguèd: postponed.

Romeo.

By Love, that first did prompt me to inquire.

He lent me counsel, and I lent him eyes.

I am no pilot; yet, wert thou as far

As that vast shore washed with the farthest sea,

I should adventure for such merchandise.

Juliet.

Thou knowest the mask of night is on my face;

Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek

For that which thou hast heard me speak tonight.

Fain would I dwell on form—fain, fain deny

What I have spoke; but farewell compliment.13

Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say “Ay”;

And I will take thy word. Yet, if thou swear’st,

Thou mayst prove false. At lovers’ perjuries,

They say Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,

If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully.

Or if thou think’st I am too quickly won,

I’ll frown and be perverse and say thee nay,

So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.

In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,14

And therefore thou mayst think my havior15 light;

But trust me, gentleman, I’ll prove more true

Than those that have more cunning to be strange.16

I should have been more strange, I must confess,

But that thou overheard’st, ere I was ware,

My truelove passion. Therefore pardon me,

And not impute this yielding to light love,

Which the dark night hath so discoverèd.17

Read the boxed monologuealoud twice. Before you readit the first time, circle all thepunctuation marks you findin the speech: periods, com-mas, semicolons, dash, ques-tion mark. You have to pauseat these marks of punctua-tion. If a line does not endwith a punctuation mark,read right on to the nextline. In your second reading,try to use your voice to indi-cate where Juliet switchesfrom embarrassment, tofrankness, to pleading, toanxiety, and to doubt.

Fain (f†n), in line 88, is stated three times. It means “gladly.”

13. compliment: good manners.14. fond: affectionate; tender.15. havior: behavior.16. strange: aloof or cold.17. discoverèd: revealed.

NotesNotes

Romeo.

Lady, by yonder blessèd moon I vow,

That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops—

Juliet.

O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,

That monthly changes in her circle orb,

Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.

Romeo.

What shall I swear by?

Juliet. Do not swear at all;

Or if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,

Which is the god of my idolatry,

And I’ll believe thee.

Romeo. If my heart’s dear love—

Juliet.

Well, do not swear. Although I joy in thee,

I have no joy of this contract tonight.

It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;

Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be

Ere one can say it lightens. Sweet, good night!

This bud of love, by summer’s ripening breath,

May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.

Good night, good night! As sweet repose and rest

Come to thy heart as that within my breast!

Romeo.

O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?

Juliet.

What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?

Romeo.

The exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine.

Juliet.

I gave thee mine before thou didst request it;

And yet I would it were to give again.

Romeo.

Wouldst thou withdraw it? For what purpose, love?

Juliet.

But to be frank18 and give it thee again.

And yet I wish but for the thing I have.

My bounty19 is as boundless as the sea,

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,

The more I have, for both are infinite.

I hear some noise within. Dear love, adieu!

[NURSE calls within.]

Anon, good nurse! Sweet Montague, be true.

Stay but a little, I will come again. [Exit.]

Juliet.

Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed.

If that thy bent20 of love be honorable,

Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow,

By one that I’ll procure to come to thee,

Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite;

And all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay

And follow thee my lord throughout the world.

Nurse (within). Madam!

Juliet.

I come anon.—But if thou meanest not well,

I do beseech thee—

Juliet. By and by I come.—

To cease thy strife21 and leave me to my grief.

Tomorrow will I send.

Romeo. So thrive my soul—

Juliet.

A thousand times good night! [Exit.]

Romeo.

A thousand times the worse, to want thy light!

Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books;

But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.

Hist! Romeo, hist! O for a falc’ner’s voice

And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine

With repetition of “My Romeo!”

Romeo.

It is my soul that calls upon my name.

How silver-sweet sound lovers’ tongues by night,

Like softest music to attending ears!

Juliet.

Forgetting any other home but this.

That lets it hop a little from his hand,

Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,26

And with a silken thread plucks it back again,

So loving-jealous of his liberty.

Romeo.

I would I were thy bird.

Juliet. Sweet, so would I.

Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.

Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow

That I shall say good night till it be morrow. [Exit.]

Romeo.

Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast!

Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest!

Hence will I to my ghostly friar’s27 close cell,
