In the play Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, the use of very formal language enabled some of the meanings to be deeper than they would have been had the words been arranged differently or had there been a different use of vocabulary. “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have; for both are infinite.” (Act 2, Scene 2) This is an example of a hyperbole which is to be taken as an exaggeration of Romeos love for Juliet while showing the severity of it. When reading, I enjoy encountering hyperboles. I use hyperboles frequently in my every day language and therefore find it is quite an effective way to relay a message. I found it enjoyable to make connections with the world that Romeo and Juliet was set in and the world that i myself live in. I saw social situations such as Romeo and his fellow Montagues going to the Capulet’s party to see a girl that Romeo had interest in. I imagined how a situation like that might have played out with my peers and how i would react to it now. I also saw the relationship that Juliet had with her parents and appreciated that in the society I live in and with my parents chosen methods of parenting, I am given a lot of opportunity. I am not forced to make the same decisions as my parents have or uphold a certain standard, instead choosing to hold myself to a standard that I choose. I value the amount of support that i am provided and was able to realize that when Juliet refused to marry Paris and her parents got very upset, saying that she should be cast from the family. I value my security within my family more because of this realization. I enjoyed reading this play which I could relate to my every day life while still having a plot that held me captivated throughout.
