Answer» <p>Julietis so beautiful that even torches are not as bright as she.</p><p>This quote is from this line whenRomeofirst sees Juliet, before he knows who she is.</p><p>O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!(Act 1, Scene 5)</p><p>Basically, with this line Romeo is saying that Juliet is so beautiful that her beauty is brighter than a torch. She is so bright, that the torches learn to be bright from her. It is another metaphor on Juliet's beauty.</p><p>Romeo is infatuated by Juliet’s beauty and, blinded by her beauty, has not really stopped to consider anything else. Romeo goes on and on with many beautiful lines about Juliet’s looks, but never once does he mention her personality. He compares her to the sun, and a jewel, and says in this line that the torches get their light from her. However, he is not talking about her glowing personality. He is again talking about her looks.</p>
