Romeo and Juliet poem summary for 2nd PU students

 If you are searching for the summary of the poem 'Romeo and Juliet' written by William Shakespeare, then you are on the right website. Go on and read it:) 



Firstly, Romeo, the moment he sets his eyes on Juliet, exclaims that she can teach a thing or two about brightness to torches for them to burn bright. Secondly, Romeo compares Juliet to a sparkling jewel in an Ethiopian's ear. That means he says that Juliet is the priceless jewel set against the night sky, just like the rich jewel that adorns an Ethiopian's ear with the cheek resembling the night sky. Here, the priceless jewel that Romeo says that Juliet is a bright shining star in the dark sky. 


'A snowy dove trooping with crows' -

In this simile, Romeo compares Juliet to a white dove that is covered with snow and is set against the black crows, implying that her beauty is so apparent, conspicuous, and cannot be ever missed, like how brightness cannot be missed when placed next to darkness. Lastly, he expresses his desire to meet her and touch her. So that his rude hands will become blessed, he openly admits that he had never seen such a true beauty in his life. 


On the other hand, Juliet has affection for night and darkness as it is then Romeo visits her. There is actually no darkness as such; it is only the absence of light. So, as soon as Romeo arrives at night with all his brightness, the darkness is dispelled, and the night turns into day. She compares Romeo to whiteness that is whiter than the new snow, and this is fully depicted when set against the dark night, just like how the snow is depicted on the raven's back. 


Juliet calls night loving and black-browed and pleads with the night to give her her Romeo. After her death, she wants the night to turn him into stars and form a constellation in the sky in his image. This will turn the dark sky into the fine face of heaven that the whole world will fall in love with night, and then no one will pay any worship to the sun, who will now seem garish. With these lines, Juliet immortalizes Romeo.
