to the holy land, Juliet may be implying that Romeo may have to work hard in order to deserve her love. Shakespeare reveals Juliet's sensible character through this revealing she is not controlled by love like Romeo but takes a pragmatic approach. The comparison to religion elevates their love to be a comparable as religion. Their love is worth worshipping. It dictates their choices. "My grave is like to be my wedding bed" (1.5) - Here Shakespeare forebodes the tragic ending of the play, revealing that it is the marriage that will ultimately lead to the death of the lovers. The "wedding bed" is a symbol for love and possibly new beginning whereas "grave" creates connotations of death and decay. Through this juxtaposition Shakespeare clearly indicates to the audience that the wedding of the lovers is not a joyful time as it brings the lovers one step closer to death. A reminder to the audience of the themes of love and conflict. A reminder to the audience of the tragic ending. For a moment, an audience may have forgotten about the ending, but this implicit foreshadowing gently reminds the audience that not all will be swell. Juliet is presented as somewhat omniscient here as she senses that her wedding will cause her death, further revealing her pragmatic characters. However, she takes no action to stop this which may suggest she is submissive or also consumed by love. This highlights two sides of her character, her wisdom and her youthfulness; she is intelligent but naïve. "my bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep" (2.2) - This happens during the famous balcony scene, Juliet expresses her true love towards Romeo as they both are clearly devoted to each other. The theme of love is strongly expressed here as water may be associated with tenderness as care. The sea also occupies great areas of the world, so this simile shows how great and consuming her love towards Romeo is. We see her comparison isn't any less powerful than Romeos as the sea also bring connotation of the great power of nature (the sea is capable of forming powerful storms, as well as humans are dependent on access to water. Juliet simile reveals her innocence which is revealed through the pure sea but also her more powerful and devoted side to be with Romeo. The structure of the scene is also key in this part of the play, as Juliet's balcony is closer to heaven. This may suggest that Juliet has lived a purer life, therefore will have the honours of going to heaven. Alternatively, it may be another reminder of the death that awaits her. "O happy dagger" (5.3) - The oxymoron of happy dagger may show the close connection between death and love. Just like through the whole play opposites have been shown to be very close, (a dichotomy of love and conflict) Juliet's last moments alive mention the close connection between love and death. In old tradition stabbing yourself was the most honourable way of suicide, which may portray Juliet as a tragic hero. This is Juliet's only form of violence in the play but significantly it's the last form of violence in the play. After Juliet's honourable death she imposes a change in society as she essentially resolves the feud. This challenges Juliet's submissive character and instead reveals her rebellious side as she commits a sin in order to bring peace to the families. Shakespeare here promotes that action is necessary to bring about a new order. Alternatively, her death may be "happy" as she sees it as an opportunity to be reunited with her Romeo, emphasising her devotion as well as the theme of love.
