5/5 Very nice. Shows thought.

It seems Turnitin.com won't let me have my underlines and highlights. I'll just upload them here.

In Romeo’s speech in 5.3, there were a lot of things going on from metaphors to personifications to repetitions. One literary trick that he uses frequently is personification. He uses them repeatedly especially to describe death, mentioning how it “sucked the honey out of thy breath.” The personification made me aware of the approaching death and emphasized death by making the word stand out through giving it human characteristics. It also gave me an idea on how sad and desperate Romeo felt and allowed me to understand that death was probably the biggest thing on his mind. The personification in the speech does not only help the reader understand Act 5 Scene III, but also the entire play itself. Death is one of the themes of __Romeo and Juliet__ and by making the theme stand out through the use of personifications, I was able to clearly identify the theme. Moreover, Romeo’s final words are “Thus with a kiss I die,” which again are closely intertwined with death. In conclusion, the personifications in Romeo’s speech (especially those regarding death) give the reader a brief overview of the book and an idea of the future turnouts of the story.

Prompt Book Comparison

Act II Prologue Paraphrase Romeo's past passion for the other woman is gone, and now young Romeo and Juliet fell in love, but their love will be tragic because it will bring about death. Romeo falls in love again and is also loved back by Juliet, because they were attracted to each other by their looks. However, because they are foes, their love has to be kept secret; they cannot speak to each other or meet each other. Still, they cannot resist their ardent passion for each other, which gives them power and time to meet each other and their fear of getting caught is alleviated by the joy of reunion.

CLEAR INTERPRETATION. 5/5
