Sorry, I didn't word the previous question particularly well. I'm trying to find dramatic techniques used by Shakespeare in soliloquies, and the effect it has the audience. I'm not entirely sure what I meant actually haha, but the title I am trying to answer is "Compare the ways Shakespeare creates emotional voices in Romeo and Juliet and Othello". Thanks for your help! :)
I think Romeo and Juliet are often confused about or discovering "love". This often means it's metaphor time! Check Romeo's quote out,
ROMEO Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being vex'd a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears:
What is it else? a madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.
Or then there is Juliet,
"Conceit, more rich in matter than in words,
Brags of his substance, not of ornament:
They are but beggars that can count their worth;
But my true love is grown to such excess
I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth."
Metaphor is but one of the many literary techniques used to describe new found love.
