Where are some similes in romeo and juliet?

Scaring the ladies like a crow-keeperToo rude, too boisterous; and it pricks like thornLike a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;Like softest music to attending ears!Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,Without his roe, like a dried herring.And bring thee cords made like a tackled stair


What is the meaning of if love be rough be rough with love in Romeo and Juliet?

Mercutio says this; If love be rough with you, be rough with love; Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down. He is responding to Romeo's line, "Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, too rude, too boistrous, and it pricks like thorn." He is saying essentially that if love is making your life difficult, don't give in to love. Of course all of this talk of pricks and beating love down is suggestive, perhaps suggesting a way of not giving in to love. "If love be rough with you, be rough with love. Fight prick for prick and you beat love down." - Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Mercutio is saying to Romeo, if love is hard on you then fight it. And if you fight enough you will win. and be happy again. This is a loose translation.

There are similes all through out the play. Some examples are:My bounty as boundless as the seaScaring the ladies like a crow-keeperToo rude, too boisterous; and it pricks like thornIt seems she hangs on the cheek of night/As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;Like softest music to attending ears!Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,Without his roe, like a dried herring.O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art As glorious to this night, being o'er my head, As is a winged messenger of heaven..."


What is the funniest Shakespeare monologue?

Some people like Launce's somewhat bewildered explanation of how his dog Crab is an unfeeling beast from The Two Gentlemen of Verona. The dialogue between the Porter and Macduff in Macbeth is hilarious but the monologue which precedes it is less so. The Dromios in Comedy of Errors have some funny speeches, especially when Dromio of S is describing the other Dromio's wife. Falstaff's monologue about honour in Henry IV Part 1 may be the best of all. It is in Act 5 Scene 1 and goes like this: "What need I be so forward with him that calls not on me? Well, 'tis no matter; honour pricks me on. Yea, but how if honour prick me off when I come on? how then? Can honour set to a leg? no: or an arm? no: or take away the grief of a wound? no. Honour hath no skill in surgery, then? no. What is honour? a word. What is in that word honour? what is that honour? air. A trim reckoning! Who hath it? he that died o' Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no. Doth he hear it? no. 'Tis insensible, then. Yea, to the dead. But will it not live with the living? no. Why? detraction will not suffer it. Therefore I'll none of it. Honour is a mere scutcheon: and so ends my catechism."
