In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare uses a lot of metaphors. The reason for this is because it helps get an image and gives a better description of how Romeo is feeling.

Shakespeare uses many metaphors in his work to give an example about how each character is feeling. Another example of how Shakespeare uses a lot of different types of writing is from Lady Capulet how she was speaking but had a background meaning how she was talking about a book and if you look at all of Shakespeare work the majority of the writing has a second meaning behind it or is a clever play of words or METAPHOR
