The component I have chosen was personification. Personification reflects on Romeo’s mental state because he, for example, blames death for killing Juliet, talking about it as if it were a person, like blaming Tybalt for killing Mercutio. Personification relates to other themes because it shows how objects can be human-like and can also show that fate, which are one of the themes of the books, is the one who “controls” everything like how a director directs and controls the cast/crew of the movie. Fate was being described as something that took action like humans would act in a stimulus. Personification contributes to the effects of Romeo’s final words because he makes it more dramatic on how he says, for example, that instead of maids taking care of you when you are alive, it is the worms that’ll be your chambermaids when you’re dead.
