I suppose
there are many examples of characters being forced to face reality throughout , but my favorites
is the scene betweenandthat takes place in Act 3, scene v after they have shared the marriage

stay.
Romeo And Juliet : Act 3, scene v, 11-13, 16, 17-27, 30-36
ROMEO I
must be gone and live, or stay and die.

death.

I'll say yon grey is not the
morning's eye.
20'Tis but the pale reflex of Cynthia's brow.
Nor that is not
the lark, whose notes do beat
The vaulty heaven so high above our heads.
I
have more care to stay than...
