How does Romeo's quote "The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine" show Romeo is loyal to Juliet?

Let's first get a better understanding of where this quote occurs within the play's narrative. Romeo and Juliet have just met for the first time at the Capulet ball, and, although they did not have a long time to converse there due to the oppressive, ever-watching eye of Juliet's family, they were both equally struck by the force of love. 


In Act Two, Scene Two, Romeo sneaks into the Capulets' gardens to admire Juliet from afar. He climbs up to her balcony to proclaim his love for her, swearing his affection by the "blessèd moon" above, but Juliet is dissatisfied by this vow due to the moon's ever-changing nature. Their conversation is short and sweet, and Juliet attempts to hurry off back to her bedroom, bidding her love good night and proclaiming that she hopes their love will have grown by the time they meet again.


It is now Romeo's turn to be dissatisfied, and he rather coyly asks of her, "O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?" When Juliet demands to know what satisfaction she can possibly give him that night, Romeo responds, "The exchange of thy love's faithful vow to mine." Romeo is essentially asking for a more permanent commitment than Juliet's rather ambiguous reference to their love as "when next we meet," which seems to translate to a non-comittal "well, see you soon!" in the eyes of a modern audience. Romeo wants Juliet to vow her love for him is true so he may do the same. 


This is a display of Romeo's loyalty to Juliet because he is the one pushing for a verbal commitment. Juliet is content to go to bed having merely seen and spoken to her beloved once more without the knowledge of when, where, or if she will see him again; Romeo, on the other hand, craves this knowledge. He wants confirmation that his feelings are reciprocated and that he may give his affection singularly to Juliet. Whether you call this behavior needy or romantic, one thing is sure: Romeo now only has eyes for Juliet.

etymology - Origin of the greeting "Sweet dreams".

Does anybody know the etymology of the phrase "sweet dreams"? I tried googling but did not find anything satisfying. Is this a relatively new phrase of the modern world or has this been in use for some time? I think it's the latter one. Answer The OED has the interjection as "a farewell to someone going to bed" from the 20th century: 1908 Sears Roebuck Catal. 198/1 Tenor Solos..Good Bye, Sweet Dreams, Good Bye. But it goes back until at least the 19th and possibly 18th centuries. John Wolcot, writing under the pseudonym of Peter Pindar, used it in his poem "Orson and Ellen; A Legendary Tale" published in 1801: Also from 1801 in The infernal Quixote (Page 287) by Charles Lucas: In the March 1776 of The Universal Magazine was published "The Serenade. A Pastoral Tale. From the German of Gesner" , where the shepherd Daphnis watches over his beloved as she sleeps and sings: The same tale appears in 1776's as Idyl XI, " Daphnis ...

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

What are the similarities between the relationships of the characters in The Outsiders and Romeo and Juliet?

At first glance, it might appear as if the characters in  The Outsiders  by S. E. Hinton and  Romeo and Juliet  by William Shakespeare do not have much in common; however, when one isolates the core of the conflicts, it becomes clear that the relationships in both stories are rooted in rivalry and secrecy.  In both  The Outsiders  and  Romeo and Juliet , an overarching theme is rivalry. While   socioeconomic status separates the greasers from the Socs in The Outsiders , last names separates the Montagues from the Capulets, who appear to be relatively equal in terms of socioeconomic status. Due to these rivalries, there are instances of deadly interactions in both stories. In  The Outsiders , Johnny kills Bob (whether his actions were justified or not is debatable). In  Romeo and Juliet , Romeo kills Tybalt and Paris, and Tybalt kills Mercutio. These deaths have profound effects on the main characters. In Ponyboy's case, the Johnny's death and other events in the novel inspire h...
