Reading through the original Romeo and Juliet soliloquy followed by a modern version and should help you to understand what each Romeo & Juliet soliloquy is about:
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright (Spoken by Romeo, Act 1 Scene 1)
What light through yonder window breaks? (Spoken by Romeo, Act 2 Scene 2)
The clock struck nine when I did send the nurse (Spoken by Juliet, Act 2 Scene 5)
Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds (Spoken by Juliet, Act 3 Scene 2)
How oft when men are at the point of death (Spoken by Romeo, Act 5 Scene3)
It is the east and juliet is the sun (Spoken by Romeo, Act 2 Scene 2)
What’s in a name? (Spoken by Juliet, Act 2 Scene 2)

I would like to point out that this Quote is not said by Romeo, but by Juliet to Romeo.
Sorry, I mean the “A rose by any other name…” quote
Thanks for pointing out that Romeo & Juliet quote error Alaina – now fixed ;)
It unfortunately still says spoken by Romeo. I actually was about to research online what I might of missed, because I could have sworn it was spoken by Juliet. Thank you for your comment, I was about to go on a wild goose chase.
I guess I should have clarified, it still says romeo on the actual page. the main page does say Juliet. sorry..
isn’t the “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright” quote in Act 1 scene 5?
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And i’ll no longer be a capulet
‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy
Thou art thyself, though not a Monague
What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face. O, be some other nome
Belonging to a man.
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name;
And for thy name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.
I love this
Actually Alaina Juliet doesn’t know that Romeo is there at that point so it is still a soliloquy if it was two Romeo it would be a monologue.
“She doth teacher the torches to burn bright” is in Act 1 Scene 5…”to be or not to be” in scene one as indicated above…love your site:)
another soliloquy in ac 2 scene 2 was were Romeo says, ” oh Lebron, oh Lebron, you are such a baller.”
#bigdaddy
I think it was, “oh Lebron, oh Lebron, you are more overrated than Miley Cyrus.”
I think it was actually, “oh Michael, oh LeBron, I am the GOAT and you guys copied MY MOVES!”
“oh neal, oh neal, you are the worst ft shooter ever)
um honey, you dead
I think it was more like “Oh MJ oh MJ im glad i didn’t waste my life playing a children’s game”
it is the same thing people.
