- "....as rich as a jewel in an Ethiop's ear..."
- Foreshadowing
- I knew this would happen...
- (The bird died)
- "Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lover's eye. "Act 1, Scene 1, Lines 197-198 This is an example of metaphor because it compares love to smoke without using "like" or "as." This example shows what Romeo thinks of love [that it can both fog and choke us up like smoke or put a sparkle in our eyes] and really ties into the story line because the story is about finding love.
- Pun
- You hang around, I'll go on ahead.
- For reals
- . Act 1, Scene 4, Line 25 Romeo says, “Too rude, too boist'rous, and it pricks like thorn." What Romeo is saying is that from his point of view, love is harsh and harmful, and that it emotionally hurts and punctures emotions/feelings just like a thorn pricks human skin. This is important to the story because it shows the thoughts of Romeo early in the play, which gives the reader more understanding of the character.
- Dramatic Irony
- Great...
- An example of foreshadowing comes at 1.4.118. Romeo says that he has a bad feeling about going to the party and he says that he fears for his own life. This foreshadows his death, which is also an example of dramatic irony because the reader knows that Romeo will die during the play.

- Act 1, Scene 4, Line 15:"With nimble soles. I have a soul of lead" Meaning: Romeo is saying that Mercutio can dance, but when he refers to himself, he says his soul is heavy. This is because Rosaline doesn't return his love for her.
- Servingman says to Romeo, "Now I'll tell you without asking. My master is the great rich Capulet, and, if you be not of the house of Montagues, I pray come and crush a cup of wine. Rest you merry" (Act 1, Scene 2, Line 85). This is an example of dramatic irony because Servingman doesn't know that Romeo is a part of the Montague family, and he just told him about all the guests attending the party at the Capulet's household. This is important information to Romeo because in the list it says that Rosaline, the lady who Romeo loves, is invited.
- The food fell to the floor.
- Act1 Scene 4 lines 3-6 pg 42-43 Benvolio: The date is out of such prolixity. We'll have no Cupid hoodwinked with a scarf, Bearing a Tartar's painted brow of lath, Scaring the ladies like a crowkeeper. Meaning: Entering the party in a big, noticeable way is not in fashion any more. We will not deceive people by putting paint on our face like warriors. That will just scare the ladies as if we were scarecrows.
