Lightness Imagery

 Light and Darkness Imagery     
       Lightness and Darkness imagery is used in Romeo and Juliet when it is quoted that "And not impute this yielding to light love, Which by dark night hath so discovered"(Shakespeare, II, ii, 105-106) and also "A thousand times the worse, to want thy light."(Shakespeare, II, ii, 155). Lightness and darkness imagery are used in Romeo and Juliet to represent Juliet who is the light and Romeo who is darkness. Another quote that shows light imagery is “ Up to the ears. Come, we burn daylight, ho!” (Shakespeare, I, iv, 43). The lightness imagery and darkness imagery develop many things like character and setting. The character's of Romeo and Juliet become developed when their imagery is reflected. Also it helps setting because it gives you a sense of what the character views, if they view things in a positive or negative way. Positive being the light imagery and darkness being negative view.
