"One of the play' most consistent visual is the contrast between light and dark, often in terms of night/day imagery. This contrast is not given a particular metaphoric meaning-light is not always good, and dark is not always evil. On the contrary, light and dark are genrally used to provide a sensory contrast and to hint at opposed alternatives. One of the more important instances of this motif is Romeo's lenghty meditation on the sun and the moon during the balcony scene, in which Juliet, metaphorically described as the sun, is seen as banishing the "envious moon" and transforming the night into day(II.i.46) A similar blurring of night and day occurs in the early moring hours after the lovers' only night together. Romeo, forced to leave for exile in the morning, and Juliet, not wanting him to leave her room, both try to pretend that it is still night, and that the light is actually darkness: '"More light and light, more dark and dark our woes" '(III.v.36)"
That's really all I can help you with because I wrote an essay over if it is Fate or was it Freewill...^^;
I wish you this best of luck and I hoped I helped!
