Answer 2

Love is more powerful than hate

I,5,768

My only love sprung from my only hate!

Too early seen unknown, and known too late!

Prodigious birth of love it is to me,

That I must love a loathed enemy.



Love cannot be controlled.

III,2,1719

Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow'd night,

Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,

Take him and cut him out in little stars,

And he will make the face of heaven so fine

That all the world will be in love with night

And pay no worship to the garish sun.

O, I have bought the mansion of a love,

But not possess'd it, and, though I am sold,

Not yet enjoy'd: so tedious is this day

As is the night before some festival

To an impatient child that hath new robes

And may not wear them.

Actions speak louder than words

I had a little trouble with this theme.

This passage indicates that love is stronger than any name.

--------------------------------------...

    * Juliet. O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?

      Deny thy father and refuse thy name;

      Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,

      And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

    * Romeo. [Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

    * Juliet. 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;

      Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.

      What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,

      Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

      Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!

      What's in a name? that which we call a rose

      By any other name would smell as sweet;

      So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,

      Retain that dear perfection which he owes

      Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,

      And for that name which is no part of thee

      Take all myself.

    * Romeo. I take thee at thy word:

      Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;

      Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

    * Juliet. What man art thou that thus bescreen'd in night

      So stumblest on my counsel?

    * Romeo. By a name

      I know not how to tell thee who I am:

      My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,

      Because it is an enemy to thee;

      Had I it written, I would tear the word.

    * Juliet. My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words

      Of that tongue's utterance, yet I know the sound:

      Art thou not Romeo and a Montague?

    * Romeo. Neither, fair saint, if either thee dislike.
