In Act I, Scene I, and II
1. Benvolio asks Romeo if he's in love and Romeo replies "Out" "Of love?" asks Benvolio, to which Romeo replies, "Out of her favour, when I am in love." If Rosaline refers to the royal line of Tudor "rose", the symbol of the royal family, then wahat is the significance of this exchange between Romeo and Benvolio?
2. Romeo's words concerning Rosaline speak volumes. They reveal a lot. What do you think the hidden meaning of the author's words might be? (Act I, Scene I, 11.215-222)
3. Benvolio then asks "Then she has sworn that she will still live chaste?" Romeo's reply once again speaks volumes. What does the authot probably intend through Reomeo's reply? (Act I, Scene I, 11.224-230)
4. "Take some new infection to thy eye, / And the rank of poison of the eye will die." What do Benvolio's words suggest to you? Who do you tink the target of these remarks might be?

Only time for one answer.
"Take some new infection to thy eye, / And the rank of poison of the eye will die."
Fall in love again and you'll forget the love that makes you ill with loss.

sorry I don't have my copy of romeo and juliet out right now, if you would be so kind as to actually list the lines you reference here than maybe we can better help you with them. I do have a complete collection of shakespeares works, I'm just to tired to go an get them from the book shelves.( Im so lazy these days, I should be embarassed.) let me know if you ever do hamlet, I know half that play off the top of my head.
