THEMES FOUND WITHIN
THE PLAY

Romeo and Juliet

THEMES FOUND
WITHIN THE PLAY
Theme 1: LOVE
Romeo and Juliet is the most
famous love story in the English
literary tradition.
Love is naturally the play’s
dominant and most important
theme.
The play focuses on romantic
love, specifically the intense
passion that springs up at first
sight between Romeo and Juliet.
Theme 1: LOVE
At times love is described in the
terms of religion, as in the sonnet
when Romeo and Juliet first meet.

At others it is described as a sort


of magic: “Alike bewitchèd by the
charm of looks”.
Theme 2: LOVE AS A CAUSE
FOR VIOLENCE
The themes of death and violence
in Romeo and Juliet are always
connected to passion, whether
that passion is love or hate.
The connection between hate,
violence, and death seems
obvious.
But the connection between love
and violence requires further
investigation.
Theme 2: LOVE AS A CAUSE
FOR VIOLENCE
Romeo and Juliet have thoughts of
suicide and a willingness to
experience it.
In Act III, Scene 3, Romeo brandishes
a knife in Friar Lawrence’s cell and
threatens to kill himself after he has
been banished from Verona and his
love.
Juliet also pulls a knife in order to
take her own life in Friar Lawrence’s
presence just three scenes later.
Theme 3: THE INEVITABILITY
OF FATE
In the Prologue to the play, the
Chorus states that Romeo and
Juliet are “star-crossed”—that
is to say that fate or astrology
controls them.
Take a minute to write down
inside your notes whether you
believe in fate or not.
We’ll share your responses
aloud in class.

20th
 Capricorn December 21st to January 18th
 Aquarius January 21st to February 18th
Motif
We can also find motifs within
Romeo and Juliet.
Motifs are recurring literary
devices that can help to develop
the play’s major themes.
Likewise, in a song, the motif is
what you hear repeatedly
throughout the song.
LIGHT AND DARK MOTIF
 Romeo’s monologue on the sun and the
moon during the balcony scene
metaphorically describes Juliet as the sun.
He talks about the “envious moon” and
transforming the night into day.
 After the lovers’ only night together
Romeo is forced to leave for exile in the
morning. Juliet, doesn’t want him to leave
her room.
 So, they both try to pretend that it is still
night, and that the light is actually
darkness: “More light and light, more dark
and dark our woes.”
