Answer:

Visual images that help us bring up the theme of love in Romeo and Juliet are for example: The way Romeo refers to Juliet as the sun, or as an angel, when he visits her on his balcony or escapes to be able to see her in secret, the tender kiss he gave to her, or that she claims about the hatred of the two families and is sorry for not being able to be with her loved one.

Step-by-step explanation:

In literature, the image is used to address the reader directly so that it can "bring to life" the senses, feelings, or anything lived that helps to represent in a particular way what they are reading, in their mind.

Let's see quotes from Romeo and Juliet that make us see the love that they both felt:

  • "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun ..."

  • "O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art

As glorious to this night, being o’er my head

As is a winged messenger of heaven

Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes

Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him

When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds

And sails upon the bosom of the air. "

  • "My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand

To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. "
