In William Shakespeare's tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, his skillful use of figurative language takes the reader on a roller coaster of emotions in a short period of time. Shakespeare's rich character development illustrates how one's affects can be dramatically altered in a matter of hours. Throughout the work, he uses the literary method of personification to show this change. When this method is used, it forces the reader to look at a character's lines with different eyes, pushing them to see their deeper meaning. Personification is the literary tool that Shakespeare uses to express his thoughts and opinions on love themes such as lust, clouded judgment, and death. Shakespeare's use of personification shows that love can be confused with personal attraction, rather than true love. Lust makes Romeo believe that it is his eyes that demonstrate his feelings, not his heart. Because he misinterprets lust as love, he adores Rosaline for her beauty, but does not realize that she does not love him, nor does he truly love her. Shakespeare describes this false fascination using personification when Romeo states "[t]he all-seeing sun/None hath seen correspond since the world began" (I.ii.99-100). Personifying the sun as seeing something beautiful helps the reader recognize that Romeo is in love with Rosaline's physical characteristics, not her personality. From the context of the play, Shakespeare reveals that Romeo has an unrequited passion for Rosaline. Saying that the sun has never seen such a beautiful sight shows Romeo's exaggerated feelings towards her. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo tends to embellish the sensuality of women, especially Juliet, ignoring the fact that women can also have emotional attraction. Personification is also used to show that Romeo is… in the center of the card… personification to show death makes people feel pain and mourning, making them confused and sad. Through the ingenious use of personification in Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare expertly conveys love's messages such as lust, clouded judgment, and death. In this dramatic tragedy, all of the character's problems are the result of decisions based on emotions rather than logic. For this reason, two lustful teenagers end up taking their own lives due to extreme affections and fear of parental disapproval. Sometimes in life people forget about personality and just focus on finding the prettiest girl or the most handsome boy. This is shown several times throughout this play and is displayed through the use of personification. In conclusion, if people thought logically and looked for positive emotions in others, life would be happier and less painful.
