 Studying Romeo and Juliet? Let's look at the exchange between Romeo and Juliet when they first meet. Romeo uses oxymorons when he talks about the Holy Shrine in Gentle Sin, and this oxymoron shows that he sees talking to Juliet almost as a religious experience. The words holy, sin and pilgrims belong to the semantic field of religion, again showing that he feels almost seeing Juliet as a religious experience. Juliet echoes Romeo's words but also using religious language, pilgrim, devotion, and this ties into what the chorus at the beginning of the story said. They stated that it's almost God's will, it's written in the stars that they meet. Juliet tells Romeo saints have hands, in other words she's saying you're flattering me too much by telling me that I'm almost a saint. The repetition of the word poem also shows that she has fallen for him. Romeo asks this poetic question as a way of hinting that he wants to kiss Juliet. This is Eurya and Juliet's response is interesting because it shows she's not shy or coy, she's actually encouraging Romeo to make his first move.
