Norbert-Romeo and Juliet- Words and Language

From what I can tell, they were confessing their love to each other. It is at night in Juliet’s House in Verona at the balcony, Romeo is saying if Juliet loves him, then he will change his name. The reason this happened at the balcony is that they are from different families and should not love each other. 

The way how Romeo and Juliet spoke was very heartfelt by the other person. The scene did not have strong body movements, and yet it is a very emotional scene, famous and important to the world of Literature. To convey the meanings, Romeo and Juliet gave eyes contacts directly to the person’s, with facial expressions. 

In this scene as a study example, the language in terms of the style is very old-fashioned, as it was written by Shakespeare in the late 1500s.  Words like thee and thy (you and your) are no longer used today. This also indicates how the culture has varied. The tone of voice of Romeo and Juliet in the video is also very calm and refined by poetic devices. This suggests their background was simple, and the families was strict on how they can speak, in particular if they are rich, as it may show what kind of family you come from.
