  • When Juliet appears on her balcony, what does Romeo compare her to?
When Juliet appears on her balcony, Romeo campares her to a, "bright angle". He refers to her "As in a winged messenger of heaven / Unto the white-upturned wond'ring eyes / Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him / When he bestrides the lazy puffing clouds / And sails upon the bosom of the air" (Shakespear page 71).  He is so in love with Juliet that he sees her as an angle from heaven, that makes mortal men lay back at look at how amazing she is. He says that she lays on a cloud. I think that when he refers to Juliet as an angle in the clouds he has put her on a pedestal, above all. He no longer thinks of Rosaline, he sees Juliet as the most beautiful woman, or angle, he has ever seen.
