In Romeo and Juliet the quote “A piteous corse, a bloody
piteous corse,”(Shakespeare, III, ii, 54) Shakespeare uses blood imagery to
create the mood. This makes the mood of the characters in the play very
dramatic, upset and sad. But for the reader the blood imagery crates a sympathetic
but a more humorous mood because of all the drama.
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, blood imagery shown in the quote “Pale, pale as ashes, all bedaub’d in blood,”(Shakespeare, III, II, 55) was used to develop theme of love and hate. In this conversation between Juliet and the Nurse it creates the theme of love and hate. Juliet now knowing and imagining Romeo all pale and covered in blood she is mad and hating who killed him. Juliet is also confused at this point because of the Nurses drama. In later comments Juliet understands that Romeo is a live and Tybalt is dead. This creates the theme of love because Juliet loves both Tybalt and Romeo, but now that Romeo killed Tybalt she hates Romeo. This creates massive drama because Juliet loves but hates Romeo all at the same time, which develops the theme of love and hate.

In Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare uses blood imagery in the
quote, Shakespeare, III, II, 56 “All in gore blood; I sounded at the sight.” to
develop the character of the Nurse. The Nurse is extremely dramatic and makes
the conversation and understanding hard of what is actually happened for Juliet
to grasp. The Nurse’s drama develops her character traits a bit more,
emphasising on her being dramatic.
In this part of the novel the three quotes also develop setting
for Juliet. In the beginning she perceives that it is Romeo dead from the Nurse’s
information, but shortly finds out it is actually Tybalt. There is also a use
of dramatic irony with Juliet where she knows not of what happened but the
reader does.
Light
In the book Romeo and Juliet that was written by
Shakespeare, light imagery is used for character development and setting.
Light
In Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare uses light imagery for character
development of Romeo. Light imagery found in the quote “A torch for me: let
wantons light of heart Tickle the senseless rushes with their heels; For I am
proverb’d with grandsire phrase, I’ll be a candle-holder and look on: The game
was ne’er so fair, and I am done.”(Shakespeare I, iv, 35-29) said by Romeo. He
is saying he is not light at heart, he is sad and sorrowful about the love he
has for Rosaline and he rather stand and watch instead of dance with the
ladies. This creates Romeo’s character to be sad and heavy hearted for the loving
Rosaline who does not love him back.
In Shakespeare’s book Romeo and Juliet the use of light
imagery was used to create setting and character development. “Here comes the
lady. O, so light a foot Will ne’er wear out the everlasting flint; A lover may
bestride the gossamers That idle in the wanton summer air, And yet not fall, so
light as vanity.”(Shakespeare, II, vi, 20) said by Friar Lawrence to Romeo
about Juliet. The Friar is saying how fair, lovely charming Juliet is walking
down the street toward them, and she is so beautiful that it is easy for her to
be vain. This use of light imagery creates setting of where and how Juliet is
walking toward the Friar and Romeo. This also creates character development of
Juliet, of how beautiful and vain she is.
Light and darkness
Shakespeare uses Light and Darkness imagery in his book
Romeo and Juliet for character development.
In
Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare uses light imagery for character development. In
the quote “O she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon
the cheek of night As a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear,”(Shakespeare, I, iv,
35-39) said by Romeo when he first sees Juliet. This creates the character
development of Romeo because he is transient with is feelings and loves looks
instead of who and what the person is like. It also develops Romeo’s character
because of how his love is fickle. Romeo loves Rosaline one day and when he
sees Juliet he is “in love at first sight”. Shakespeare used light imagery in
this part of the book to develop Romeo to be fickle and transient.
