The Unseen Aroma of Love

  Have you ever had a crush on someone, that you can't stop thinking about the person, and forget about everything? Have you ever follow your love, just roaming and looking for her. Romeo is that young man crazy in love.
  My favorite part from Act 2 of "Romeo and Juliet" is scene 2. Starting by the long speech of Romeo's, he deeply expressed his falling for Juliet. Even he was just praising Juliet, the language is so beautiful.
  " It's east, and Juliet is the sun"(2.2 3)
  That's his first compliment to Juliet. I think the sentence has metaphor that shows how much he admires her. The sun always shines in the sky at daytime, but for Romeo, the balcony is his sky and Juliet is his sun. He is not afraid to look up the the brightest star.
  "She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that?
   Her eye discourses; I will answer it."(2.2 12-13)
  In this sentence, Romeo is trying to build the bond to Juliet in his heart. Juliet is not saying anything, but Romeo has already assume she is communicating with him in eyes. This happens a lot, when we have feelings on someone, we assume that person's words and moves are all connected to us.
  His following descriptions on Juliet's body parts are the highlights of the scene, vivid that we can picture the scene immediately.
  "The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
    As daylight doth a lamp; her eye in heaven."(2.2 21-23)
  The exaggerations keep showing the readers his over-dramatic personality. In additional, it's one of the substantial contrasts to Juliet's speech later in Scene.
   For Juliet, she is just the same as Romeo. But she has more worries on the background of Romeo and her. The difference between the families makes it hard for the lovers to be together.
  "Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
   And I’ll no longer be a Capulet."(2.2 38-39)
  Her love is just straight forward, and brave. She 'd rather denial her family than losing Romeo's love, even when they had only met once.  What's interesting about this part is that she thinks she is telling nobody about her feelings, while Romeo is receiving every words she says.
  Of course, it was the greatest and happiest moment in the young man's life.
  Shakespeare used such brilliant technique to develop the plot, the lovers get to know each other's feelings, even when they are not standing nearby. It's a much more dramatic way to start the relationship. Everybody hopes to listen to the truest feelings from their love. Sometimes it's hard to say them face to face, but the accident is what makes the love more beautiful.
  In conclusion, Act two scene two is the spotlight of the whole play. And a lot of modern shows are mimic the classic scene where Romeo and Juliet meet. The distance creates an atmosphere for the young and innocent love. And it's the beautiful part of the play, comparing to the tragedy in ending.
