Question

Is Rosaline the Moon that Romeo is talking about? "Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon..." Thoughts?

  1. Yes, I think that Rosaline is the moon he is talking about. Later in his speech, he mentions how the moon look gross in comparison. And his love for Juliet did kill his love for Rosaline. Also, he believes that Juliet's beauty far surpasses Rosaline's.

  2. I don't think that Rosaline could be the moon because he thinks that the moon is beautiful. However, in the way that Romeo acts it seems like Romeo only thinks about Juliet and she outshines any other person in bauty

  3. Yes, Rosaline is the moon, because Romeo compares Juliet to the sun and relates Rosaline to Diana, the moon godess.
