I chose personification because it was one of the components that was emphasized in Romeo’s last speech which is in Act 5.3, line 88 to 120. Most of the personifications were about the deaths which Romeo was angered at. He was angered because he thought Juliet died and now he also had to die in order to follow Juliet. From this, I could see how Romeo loved Juliet truly. For the larger theme of the play, it could be simply explained because it is just death itself. Since many people died through the play, it could be explained as death. Since Romeo said that “death sucked the honey of thy breath” I can also assume that Romeo would die too. Romeo was angered and also, knew that he cannot control the death because it was by fate.
