Quotations
„Príď, dobrá noc, ty čierna, chmúrna noc:
Romea pošli! A keď umrie raz,
Rozkrájaj ho na drobučké hviezdy:
Ním nebo takou krásou zažiari,
Že každý bude uctievať len noc.“
I think this we can consider for an implicit Juliet’s love for Romeo. She is waiting for him, and she can’t live without him
„Vy, oči, naposledy pozrite!
Ramená, objímte ju ešte raz!
A, pery, cnostným bozkom spečaťte,
Že som sa navždy smrti upísal“
Romeo is very upset, when he finds Juliet “dead” and these are his words shortly before he decided to die and drunk a poison. He decided to die because of his never-ending love for Juliet.
