To what does Romeo compare the women in the room other than Juliet?

Answer»

To   crows .

  • Romeo is comparing Juliet to a sacred being. 
  • Her residence is, therefore, a shrine to her. The suggestion is that she is some kind of saint, a being far beyond the reaches of ordinary humans.
  •  He therefore humbly beseeches her to allow him penitence for having "profaned" (i.e. desecrated) this place consecrated to her.
  • Romeo glorifies Juliet's beauty by comparing her appearance to objects and abstract concepts observable in nature.

  •  In his soliloquy, Romeo compares Juliet to firelight, a star or a planet in the night sky, and a dove in a flock of crows.
