Romeo and Juliet- Balcony Scene

The Balcony scene takes place in a private, secluded garden that is surrounded by walls. These walls are symbolic as they represent the barriers between Romeo and Juliet and they are high which represents the dangers they are facing by seeing each other against their families', the Montague's and Capulet's, wishes. The Balcony scene is not only very dramatic with many occurrences of love but also has indications of fate and what might happen in …

…have thee gone; And yet no farther than a wanton's bird, That lets it hop a little from her hand, Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gives, And with a silk thread plucks it back again, So loving-jealous of his liberty." This suggests that during the time of Shakespeare, little s would do this to birds and maybe Juliet herself for entertainment. As well as a way of showing Romeo and Juliet's truehearted love.
