Enjambment

Explanation:

The poetical technique used in lines 16 through 18 of the poem quoted above is "Enjambment".

Along these lines, we can see that the technique used by the author is to finish a verse in flagrant disagreement with the syntax, with the intention of highlighting the words that were separated. In other words, the author's intention is to close a verse unexpectedly by highlighting the words shifted in the next verse. Thus, there is a syntactic union between one verse and another when separating words united in the same phonic group.

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.
