Romeo and Juliet's LOVE

There Love

      Romeo's and Juliet's love conquers all. Their love is like a big chocolate cake with an outstanding display of vanilla swirls and flowers. Their love is a cake because it is one of the biggest desserts and in the end it is there love that does touch everyone's hearts. A cake has this ability over people. When an individual tries a delicious cake the flavors will explode in there mouths and melt on there tongue. The flavors of the cake and the icing are equally balanced creating a whole new flavor when combined. This flavor is there love when combined it filled there hearts and exploded in there minds forcing then to think only of each other.

      There love was strong enough to take their lives and resolve their parents feud. This is stated in the prologue.

Two households, both alike in dignity
(In fair Verona, where we lay our scene),
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life,
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-marked love
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children’s end, naught could remove
When you eat a cake it touchs all your senses leaving you satisfied, but its not until it is all gone when you realize you want it back. Resembling not only Romeo and Juliet's love but also there families.

The Prince

The Prince:

     The prince although a minor character is the head honcho of all of Verona. He reminds me of a Rocky road brownie. This comparison works because the Prince is very rich and presents himself in a dignified manner. A Rocky road brownie is very rich in taste and is appealing to the eye. This particular brownie is very smart, combining marshmallows, a solid block of brownie and drizzled chocolate is genius. Many people enjoy the company of the brownie. The Prince is forgiving but if you cross his boundaries he will be willing to punish you. If you indulge in a Rocky road brownie to much your body and future will suffer the consequences.

The Capulet's and friends

Lady Capulet:

     Lady Capulet resembles a raspberry muffin. She wants the best for her daughter but in some ways is ineffectual because she subconsciously is putting her daughter through the same pain she went through at her age with having to marry an older man. A raspberry muffin tastes good and may have healthy raspberries in it but on the other hand it can’t produce the amount of health that other things can. And if you’re not aware of how much your eating you will end up experiencing the consequences of becoming fat. Lady Capulet is young and fresh compared to her husband Capulet who is old and ugly, and raspberry muffins have a yummy fresh look to them. A raspberry muffin is sweet but has a somewhat bitter texture as does lady Capulet in the way that she is sweet but has a bitter tone in her personality.

Juliet:

     Juliet is like a vanilla cupcake with beautiful vanilla icing. She comes from a wealthy family, she is extremely pretty, and she is a romantic. A vanilla cupcake is very rich in flavor and fluffy. Juliet is light and fluffy as well because she is joyful especially when she falls in love, making her a romantic. A cupcake is a romantic because it is a dessert, and it's icing is very smooth and creamy. Often people relate love to being the best dessert in the world. For example in Act 2 Scene 2 Juliet expresses her love to Romeo, by saying,

“But to be frank, and give it thee again.

And yet I wish but for the thing I have.
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.”(line 131-135)

Juliet is very beautiful and it is this that catches Romeo's attention, when he walked into the party. When you go to buy a cupcake you are looking at how it looks and how it is presented. It is after you admire its beauty and bite into it until you realize how amazing and happy it makes you feel. Juliet is also very petite and in good shape. The cupcake is small and is decorated beautifully giving it a youthful majestic exterior.

Nurse
    

      Juliet’s nurse is very much like a lime meringue pie. She is a larger lady with a big personality as well. She is very affectionate, blunt but sweet, caring, and over the top bubbly. Which in many ways is quite similar to a lime meringue pie, it has a very large over the top amount of white fluffy textured meringue, which is very exotic and interesting but kind of bitter. Then under all of that there is this sour but sweet filling that once you get there makes you happy and full of joy, the transition between the two layers is very blunt but pleasant. Once you get through the nurses mushy affectionate and funny surface you reach her blunt and sensible reasoning. She is very vulgar and rude but she has a comedic approach to life. She has Juliet’s best interest at heart and is very caring, she does her best to help with Juliet’s problems and needs but some times she can get lost in the situation and advise Juliet to make the sensible decision and not the right one. For example when the Nurse tells Juliet that she should marry Paris, in Act 3 Scene 5 this is what she says

Faith, here it is.
“Romeo is banishèd, and all the world to nothing
That he dares ne'er come back to challenge you.
Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth.
Then, since the case so stands as now it doth,
I think it best you married with the county.
Oh, he’s a lovely gentleman.
Romeo’s a dishclout to him. An eagle, madam,
Hath not so green, so quick, so fair an eye
As Paris hath. Beshrew my very heart,
I think you are happy in this second match,
For it excels your first. Or if it did not,
Your first is dead, or ’twere as good he were,
As living here and you no use of him.”

A lime meringue pie has many different textures and flavors and each bite you take seems to have a different feel to it. From looking at it you would think that it is all sweet and fluffy like a cloud but once you get through all the layers you start to realize that its not all great and it tastes different than you thought it would taste.

Tybalt:

     Tybalt is like a Twinkie. He isn't very good for you and not very many people like him. The only people that like Tybalt are the Capulets. Tybalt like a twinkie can look appetizing or he can look like a greasy deep fried so called nasty dessert, if you know what hes really made of. Tybalt is a mean character and he hates everything to do with health. For example when when Romeo comes to the Capulet party this is how Tybalt reacts, in Act 1 Scene 5 “ This, by his voice, should be a Montague. Fetch me my rapier, boy. What, dares the slave. Come hither, covered with an antic face, To fleer and scorn at our solemnity? Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, To strike him dead I hold it not a sin.”(line 54-59) Even one glance at Romeo, Tybalt wants to kill him. Tybalt has no mercy exactly like a Twinkie towards your body.

Paris:

     Paris is like a big lemon cupcake. He is not a bid character but he causes some of the actions that Romeo and Juliet do even if it is unintentional. Paris is old, wealthy, and a nice guy. The lemon cupcake represents him because although the lemon icing is tart and not that sweet, once you get over that fact you realize that there is a whole bottom part to the cupcake. That is caring and satisfying. Paris does not seem kind at first but at the end of the play you realize that he is in love with Juliet and he is not that bad of a guy.

The Montague's and friends

Montague:

     Montague is like a bran muffin he is not the most appealing person and by first choice you wouldn’t choose him. People choose bran muffins because they are the sensible choice rich with fiber, healthy mixture of grains, and are good for you in the end. Which relates to Montague in the way that he is very rich, has a good family, and he will support you as long as you live. But a bran muffin does not fulfill all your needs and desires, same goes for Montague. When eating a bran muffin the taste is not good but you can withstand it knowing that it is helping you but for some people in the end the overall unpleasant taste is not worth it. Montague is very stubborn and it takes a lot to get him to change his mind. When Romeo and Juliet die he has an epiphany that his grudge against the Capulet’s is not helping anyone so he shows compassion by making a solid gold statue of Juliet. When eating a bran muffin the surface is somewhat tougher but as you get into the middle it gets softer.

Lady Montague

     Lady Montague is like a blueberry muffin. She is sweet and wants the best for everyone but is unhappy herself, she is an okay person but has not much of a personality she more or less sticks with Montague and doesn’t do much out of the ordinary. A blueberry muffin is very sweet but when eating it you don’t really want the muffin part, you bite into it hoping you will get a blueberry. She is much like lady Capulet and they only have some differences between each other, and that is why they are both similar to muffins but have different berries cause they have some differences. When Romeo gets banished she is very upset and when he dies she is distraught and is filled with misery. She is quite young like lady Capulet and she is married to a man much older than her. A blueberry muffin presents a young and fresh look as well.

Romeo:

      Romeo is a Chocolate cupcake with a amazing display of chocolate icing and a chocolate filling. He comes from a wealthy family, he is very over dramatic, and he is a ladys man. A chocolate cupcake is quit rich, it is full of sugar and is very sweet. It is over dramatic because of its taste and looks. Romeo is over dramatic because when he is out of love and sad, his world and life is basically over. When he is in love that is the only thing that matters in his life at all. For example in Act 1 Scene 1 Romeo displays his exaggeration by saying,

“Why, such is love’s transgression.

Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,
Which thou wilt propagate, to have it pressed
With more of thine. This love that thou hast shown
Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being vexed, a sea nourished with loving tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall, and a preserving sweet.

Farewell, my coz.”(line 185-192)

What Romeo is saying is that love is nothing but sadness and tears.

     A cupcake can be a ladys man because it is very attractive and the majority of people like cupcakes. The majority of people like Romeo as well besides the Capulets especially Tybalt, but besides this group he was able to attract people with his charm, wit and looks just like a cupcake. A cupcake has looks, taste, and individuality. A line from the play that demonstrates Romeo's flirting and ladys man's attitude is Act 1 Scene 5, “Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.”(line 109-110) Not only does this show Romeo's sex appeal but the cupcakes ability to intrigue, and indulge.

The Friar:

     The Friar is like a date bar because he is a comfort dessert. The Friar is very comforting. When ever Romeo needs help he goes to him. Like, the date the Friar is old and not that attractive but still knows whats best for you. The date bar knows whats best for you by keeping you regular. The Friar knows whats best for Romeo because when Romeo was all upset about killing Tybalt the Friar instead of feeling sorry for him he told him to suck it up and go see his love. In Act 3 Scene 3 the Friar tells Romeo to not weep over his banishment and it is this speech that wakes Romeo up from his pity. The Friar says, “ Hold thy desperate hand.

Art thou a man? Thy form cries out thou art.
Thy tears are womanish. Thy wild acts denote
The unreasonable fury of a beast.
Unseemly woman in a seeming man,
And ill-beseeming beast in seeming both!
Thou hast amazed me. By my holy order,
I thought thy disposition better tempered.
Hast thou slain Tybalt? Wilt thou slay thyself,
And slay thy lady that in thy life lives
By doing damnèd hate upon thyself?
Why rail’st thou on thy birth, the heaven, and earth?
Since birth and heaven and earth, all three do meet
In thee at once, which thou at once wouldst lose?
Fie, fie, thou shamest thy shape, thy love, thy wit,
Which, like a usurer, abound’st in all
And usest none in that true use indeed
Which should bedeck thy shape, thy love, thy wit.
Thy noble shape is but a form of wax,
Digressing from the valor of a man;
Thy dear love sworn but hollow perjury,
Killing that love which thou hast vowed to cherish;
Thy wit, that ornament to shape and love,
Misshapen in the conduct of them both,
Like powder in a skill-less soldier’s flask,
Is set afire by thine own ignorance;
And thou dismembered with thine own defence.
What, rouse thee, man! Thy Juliet is alive,
For whose dear sake thou wast but lately dead—
There art thou happy. Tybalt would kill thee,
But thou slew’st Tybalt—there art thou happy.
The law that threatened death becomes thy friend
And turns it to exile—there art thou happy.
A pack of blessings light upon thy back,
Happiness courts thee in her best array,
But, like a misbehaved and sullen wench,
Thou pout’st upon thy fortune and thy love.
Take heed, take heed, for such die miserable.
Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed.
Ascend her chamber, hence, and comfort her.
But look thou stay not till the watch be set,
For then thou canst not pass to Mantua,
Where thou shalt live, till we can find a time
To blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends,
Beg pardon of the Prince, and call thee back
With twenty hundred thousand times more joy
Than thou went’st forth in lamentation.—
Go before, Nurse. Commend me to thy lady,
And bid her hasten all the house to bed,
Which heavy sorrow makes them apt unto.

Romeo is coming.” This speech represents the oats on the bar because the oats give the bar a crunchy exterior. The Friar has a tough exterior because he acts like he knows what hes doing and he knows when to challenge something but he also has a soft inside because he is a romantic.

     When it comes to date bars they are on the healthier scale of desserts, and it is this that will deceive you. To much of this dessert can make you out of shape and it can give you the runs which is very unpleasant. This relates to the Friar because Romeo and Juliet trusted him. He was like a father to Romeo and after all he was a Friar. In my opinion it was this trust that betrayed them in the end. There actions were done because of the Friars instructions. Romeo and Juliet followed every word the Friar spoke even though he did not know what he was doing himself. Romeo and Juliet ate to many date bars causing them to live unhealthy lives.

Mercrucio:

     Mercucio is very much like a chocolate chip cookie with sprinkles on top. He is a very diverse character with many layers to his personality. He presents somewhat crazy atmosphere just like the sprinkles do for a cookie. The sprinkles also resemble the colorful way he talks using vulgar language as all most an art. He is a quiet disturbed boy with many demons that he does not know how to deal with. Each layer of the cookie represents a different part of his personality. The cookie part represents his amount of knowledge a big chunk of his brain is over whelmed with knowledge. The chocolate chips are his spurts of aggression and his tendencies to provoke fights. The layer of chocolate before the sprinkles is his disturbed dark side of looking at life. And the sprinkles represent his crazy side and his way of living, which includes not going by normal rules and not doing the ordinary. Because there are so many different layers to Mercucio, it makes him so different from everyone else and so full of life.

Benvolio

     Benvolio is similar to a chocolate cookie. He is a very peaceful boy that try’s to keep everything under control and not let it go crazy, as a chocolate cookie is all one color and all tastes the same it is very plain but still tastes good. He is quite serious and has Romeos best interest in mind. He is a bit sensitive, which is similar to a chocolate cookie once you eat a little your mouth notices it because it is so full of flavor. Benvolio is sensitive in a way because he tries to keep Romeo at peace and once Romeo is unhappy or confused then Benvolio is disturbed as well . Benvolio's character is kind of plain and doesn’t show up much but is still very good and holds great importance to the play.
