Act 2 Scene 6: The Passion of Romeo and Juliet


The image above is of a wildfire because that is what Romeo and Juliet's relationship has become. They have only known each other for little over a day, yet they have already been married. Even though their families are great enemies, they do not care what happens to the people around them, as long as they are together. This is why I have compared them to a wildfire; it destroys everything in its path and burns everything around it until something comes to put it out. The Friar also had concerns about the speed of Romeo and Juliet's relationship, saying that it may consume them and then die out. In this way, the fire is also like their love for each other: powerful, burning, and devouring them. Romeo and Juliet are like a wildfire because when they are gone, they have left death and devastation in their wake.

  1. The way of showing a fire of burning is really impresive

  2. I agree that Romeo and Juliet are like a wildfire because they are both consumed by this love that they don't really know yet.

  4. Good point! Do you think their love for each other started this wildfire or their families conflict?
