Ans:- Juliet asks the night to bring with it her Romeo. Romeo is a bright and cheerful person. Juliet says that Romeo looks bright like the new snow present on Raven’s back. Juliet makes it very clear that she doesn’t want to give up Romeo even after her death. Juliet tells the night that after she dies, take her Romeo and turn him into little stars. 

According to her, if Romeo is turned into stars, then the night will be so beautiful and bright that the entire world will fall in love with the night and no one will look at the Garish sun considering it to be harsh and glaring and start liking the night sky. This way Romeo always live and he will be immortalized. Furthermore, ‘When I shall die and ‘Cut him out in little stars, and ‘Heaven’ are an expression that clearly refers to death and immortality.

III. Answer the following questions in about 200 words.

Ans:- Romeo and Juliet express their passionate love for each other very effectively. Romeo feels surprised and glorifies his love, Juliet’s beauty to the essential as she looks beyond his imagination. He feels that her beauty betters the brightness of colourful lights in that dark night. Through the simile, he compares Juliet’s matchless beauty to a rich jewel in a black Ethiope’s ear and she seems shining in the dark cheek of night. Romeo is truly fascinated by her rare beauty and decides to watch her place of stand on the dance floor which seems sacred spot after the dance. Though he is a handsome prince himself, he feels his rude hand be blessed by touching her smooth and shiny hands. Finally, he self-introspects himself by asking whether his heart loved anybody before and clarifies that this is his first true love with Juliet. This is how Romeo brightly glorifies Juliet’s perfect beauty in his speech.

Juliet also equally feels a wonderful birth of love for Romeo, a man from the enemy family. She invites both the night and her love, Romeo to come to her as soon as possible. She longs for the gentle night to fall. In Juliet’s imagination, Romeo seems like a bright day, though it is a dark night. She believes that he brightens her life. He looks whiter than the new snow on Raven’s back which is compared to the night and glows by surpassing the dark night.

She thinks that he definitely comes in the night to see her as he cannot see her during the day. She wishes to make her Romeo an immortal being by requesting the night to take him and cut him out in little stars in the sky after her death so that he will make the face of heaven so fine. She convinces the night that Romeo replaces the garish sun by glowing in the night, then people stop to fear for the night. She feels that people fall in love with night and forget to worship the sun in the whole world. In this way, Juliet expresses her implicit feelings towards Romeo and makes him an immortal and eternal being. Juliet’s love was much more passionate and intense than that of Romeo.
