- The document provides guidance for students to analyze a shared sonnet between Romeo and Juliet in preparation for an assessment.
- It instructs students to annotate the sonnet for religious words, body parts, and repetition. It also challenges them to identify the rhyme scheme and poetic form.
- The document then analyzes the sonnet, explaining that Romeo asks to touch Juliet's hand, they exchange romantic and religious language discussing a kiss, and the sonnet builds climactically to them kissing.

5. What is happening in this sonnet?
• Romeo starts the sonnet by asking to touch Juliet’s hand, and states
that his lips are ready to be kissed.
• Juliet tells Romeo not to talk down to his hand, but even though he is a
pilgrim and she is a ‘Saint’, she would be willing to touch his hand and
unite
• Romeo replies that he wants to kiss instead of touching her hand
• Juliet is then witty and coy; she states that lips are only used for
prayer
• Romeo wants to kiss Juliet, and does it in the form of a prayer
6. ROMEO:
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
JULIET:
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
The religious language makes the meeting
seem a sacred, holy moment and adds to the
sense that Romeo perceives Juliet as a
goddess/ angel/ saint
Repetition
creates sense
of
togetherness/
unity as the
couple come
together
Romantic,
affectionate
language
7. ROMEO:
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
JULIET:
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
ROMEO:
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Religious language plays on Romeo’s name to imply he has
travelled a long way to reach his destination/ shrine -
Juliet
Romantic,
physical
language
8. JULIET:
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
ROMEO:
Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Religious
language
Rhyming couplets build up to a moment of
climax, which is the kiss.
