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. (I.5.139-142) Juliet after the Nurse tells her that Romeo is a Montague. English Literature- Romeo and Juliet Act 2 Quotes and Meanings. What quote shows that Romeo sees Juliet as a light? (Romeo) (Love) (Light and Dark) 'But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?/ It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.' Romeo uses a metaphor to describe her and implies that she has enlightened him and brought life back. The play's opening lines tell us that Romeo and Juliet will die, and that their tragic end is fated. 'Star-crossed' means 'opposed by the stars.' In Shakespeare's day as in ours, some people believed that the course of your life was determined by the motion and position of the stars.
CHORUS
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-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,

What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
'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 not could remove, is now the two hours traffic of our stage.'
