I need to know what this conversation reveals about Romeo. Only this conversation, no other aspect of the story. I need to write an essay about it and I don't understand it at all. Thanks in advance for any and every answer.
BENVOLIO
Good-morrow, cousin.
ROMEO
Is the day so young?
BENVOLIO
But new struck nine.
ROMEO
Ay me! sad hours seem long.
Was that my father that went hence so fast?
BENVOLIO
It was. What sadness lengthens Romeo's hours?
ROMEO
Not having that, which, having, makes them short.
BENVOLIO
In love?
ROMEO
Out--
BENVOLIO
Of love?
ROMEO
Out of her favour, where I am in love.
BENVOLIO
Alas, that love, so gentle in his view,
Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!
ROMEO
Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still,
Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will!
Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here?
Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all.
Here's much to do with hate, but more with love.
Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,
sick health!
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
Dost thou not laugh?
BENVOLIO
No, coz, I rather weep.
ROMEO
Good heart, at what?
BENVOLIO
At thy good heart's oppression.
ROMEO
Why, such is love's transgression.
Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,
Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest
With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown
Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being vex'd a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears:
What is it else? a madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.
Farewell, my coz.
BENVOLIO
Soft! I will go along;
An if you leave me so, you do me wrong.
ROMEO
Tut, I have lost myself; I am not here;
This is not Romeo, he's some other where.
BENVOLIO
Tell me in sadness, who is that you love.
ROMEO
What, shall I groan and tell thee?
BENVOLIO
Groan! why, no.
But sadly tell me who.
ROMEO
Bid a sick man in sadness make his will:
Ah, word ill urged to one that is so ill!
In sadness, cousin, I do love a woman.
BENVOLIO
I aim'd so near, when I supposed you loved.
ROMEO
A right good mark-man! And she's fair I love.
BENVOLIO
A right fair mark, fair coz, is soonest hit.
ROMEO
Well, in that hit you miss: she'll not be hit
With Cupid's arrow; she hath Dian's wit;
And, in strong proof of chastity well arm'd,
From love's weak childish bow she lives unharm'd.
She will not stay the siege of loving terms,
Nor bide the encounter of assailing eyes,
Nor ope her lap to saint-seducing gold:
O, she is rich in beauty, only poor,
That when she dies with beauty dies her store.
BENVOLIO
Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste?
ROMEO
She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste,
For beauty starved with her severity
Cuts beauty off from all posterity.
She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair,
To merit bliss by making me despair:
She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow
Do I live dead that live to tell it now.
BENVOLIO
Be ruled by me, forget to think of her.
ROMEO
O, teach me how I should forget to think.
BENVOLIO
By giving liberty unto thine eyes;
Examine other beauties.
ROMEO
'Tis the way
To call hers exquisite, in question more:
These happy masks that kiss fair ladies' brows
Being black put us in mind they hide the fair;
He that is strucken blind cannot forget
The precious treasure of his eyesight lost:
Show me a mistress that is passing fair,
What doth her beauty serve, but as a note
Where I may read who pass'd that passing fair?
Farewell: thou canst not teach me to forget.
BENVOLIO
I'll pay that doctrine, or else die in debt.
Answer :
Romeo is upset, sad. He is also in love. Basically, I'd say this all means Romeo is lovesick, and a hopeless romantic.
ok, im not that good at expressing my feelings to people due to aspergers but it doesnt mean i dont have any but to help mke express them i find songs on YT that suit that emotion and send it to a friend ie if im happy or want to show how much friendship means to me id send them a song that shows that like this song:
Don't go changing, rearranging
Don't go changing, rearranging
Hold on to a love sensation
If you ever go away
That would be my darkest day
We've been drawn together by love's chemistry
I was born to be by your side sure as the river meets the sea
We've only known each other for a little while, but you're my destiny
I would move all heaven and earth just to set you free
In lover's liberty, inject the chemistry
That's gonna move you, never gonna loose you
[Chorus]
Don't go changing, rearranging
Hold on to a love sensation
If you ever go away
That would be my darkest day
Lately I've been seeing a little doubt in your eyes
You used to call me everyday to say the things to keep me satisfied
I would move all heaven and earth just to set you free
In lover's liberty, inject the chemistry
That's gonna move you, never gonna loose you
[Chorus]
Don't go changing, rearranging
Hold on to a love sensation
If you ever go away
That would be my darkest day
Don't go changing, rearranging
Hold on to a love sensation
That's a power energy that only flows from you to me
I would move all heaven and earth just to set you free
In lover's liberty, inject the chemistry
That's gonna move you, never gonna loose you
[Chorus]
Don't go changing, rearranging
Hold on to a love sensation
If you ever go away
That would be my darkest day
Don't go changing, rearranging
Hold on to a love sensation
That's a power energy that only flows from you to me
Don't go changing, rearranging
Hold on to a love sensation
If you ever go away
That would be my darkest day
i sent this one last night to 2 close friends who i dont want to lose cos then id have no one left at all
would girls prefer a song from anywhere as long as it desrcibes the feelings of a guy or would they like it to be their own words (if the guy can do that)?
