Line 3:
{{quote|''"But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the Sun!
Arise, fair Sun, and kill the envious Moon
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she."''|'''Romeo'''}}
It's impossible to imagine there are many who don't know the plot, but here's a quick outline:
{{quote|
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.'' }}
Line 70:
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Mercutio, Tybalt, Paris, Lady Montague, [[Foregone Conclusion|Romeo and Juliet]] all kick the bucket.
* [[Apothecary Alligator]]: Mentioned in the description of the apothecary's shop in Act V Scene I.
{{quote|
An alligator stuff'd, and other skins
Of ill-shaped fishes }}
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Juliet's decision between her two suitors. Paris courts her in the 'proper' way, by asking her father's permission. Romeo falls in love with her, marries her in secret and even kills a beloved family member.
Line 77:
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Act 1 Scene 1 is filled with constant rape jokes.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Both of the lovers, but especially Juliet.
{{quote|
Upon so soft a subject as myself! }}
* [[Bromantic Foil]]: Mercutio to Romeo.
