Argument 4

Argument 4 theory 2:

            The girl is in love with a guy and her father and others do not approve of them being together so they have to keep their relationship a secret. They really want to be together but since the girls father told the guy to stay away from her, he is unsure if he should continue making an effort to see her. He does not want to get caught and get in trouble but the girl seems to not care as much. They want to be together but the guy is deciding if he should stick to the relationship because of this issue with her father. In this song Romeo acts as the guy in the relationship and Juliet acts as the girl.

            In one of the stanzas, the lyrics are:

And I said,

“Romeo save me - I’ve been feeling so alone.

I keep waiting for you but you never come.

Is this in thy head? I don’t know what to think-”

            In the first and second line of the stanza, she tells the guy (Romeo) that she wants him to rescue her. She feels alone because know one understands how she feels. She really wants to be with her Romeo but it is unacceptable. She loves him and she feels like she just wants to escape and run away with him. She feels alone and he probably does too because their relationship has to be so secretive.

            In the third line of the stanza she says how she is always waiting for him at a secret hiding spot but he never comes. This shows that he is most likely really scared of getting caught with her. He doesn’t want to risk being seen with her and getting in a lot of trouble. This goes to show that the guy is unsure if he should stick to the relationship because of this issue with her father. He wants to be with her but at the same time he wants to avoid conflict.

            In the forth line of the stanza she is asking him if its all in her head, that he doesn’t want to see her. She doesn’t know what to think because she never gets to see him or talk to him. She wants to believe that he just couldn’t make it or had a good excuse for not meeting her but she isn’t sure if it’s that or because he just doesn’t want to come. She clearly seems like the one more into the relationship compared to him. He wants to be with her too but is deciding if he should stick to the relationship because of this issue with her father and the risk of getting caught with her.
