Question

how is religion important in Romeo and Juliet
please give quotes/evidence from the txt

Answer 1

well in some ways Shakespeare uses religious imagery to show the intense, blind love Romeo and Juliet feel for eachother. Using this theme, Shakespeare attempts to teach us that it is catastrophic to worship and idolize one person, and although there are both the light and dark sides of love and of religion, but it's dangerous to catagorize love as our religion

Answer 2

that help at all?

Answer 3

Thanks 4 answering but what I mean is that when they meet each other in Act 1 Scene 5 they use religious words so how is religion important in Romeo and Juliet. @vincentblackshadow

Answer 4

i dont have the book right now, but is that the part on the balcony?

Answer 5

yes part of it is the balcony part

Answer 6

well thats exactly what i meant by my first answer Juliet is speaking to Romeo about swearing their love on the balcony. She is saying that Romeo is her god, and she idolizes him. She is also tellin Romeo to swear by his god like self. Shakespeare could have included this line to show that worshipping one god is dangerous.

Answer 7

Romeo is talking to Juliet on the balcony when she is giving her soliloquy, expressing her deepest thoughts. Romeo is telling Juliet to call him "love" instead of Romeo, and he'll never be Romeo again. He is referring to being baptized in a church. Romeo would give up his whole identity to be with Juliet. He would do absolutely anything to be with her. Act 2 . Scene 2 . Line 15 Romeo: "O, speak again, bright angel! For thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head, As is a wingèd messenger of heaven"
