Lightness vs. Heaviness

Discuss how the motif  is seen throughout Romeo and Juliet.

Starting in Act 1, Romeo goes of on his own a lot, and feels hopeless and is described as heavy by his family and friends. He also claims that he sinks under love's heavy burden. Then Romeo first sees Juliet and some of the heaviness seems to be lifted from him. Flying is effortless when Romeo is full of love, but when he's not in a good relationship, he is heavy and cannot lift himself off the ground. Once he meets Juiliet he begins to feel full of elation and able to fly. However, when he's going to see his love Juliet, he feels invicible, and will be able to do anything to be able to come and see her. Then he is banished and will never see her again, and he is crushed with an immense heaviness. He is crying to the Friar and feels as if he cannot fly, or be light enough to fly, because he is so sad. Meanwhile, Juliet is feeling the same because she must marry Paris and never see Romeo again. Lady Capulet tells Juliet that she will be relieved of heaviness, because she can marry Paris, while it's really the opposite. When Juliet fakes her own death, weight is lifted from her, because she feels secure in the Friar and the fact that she will see Romeo again. Romeo, is finally overtaken with so much heaviness, that he kills himself, to be with Juliet. Juliet awakes and is crushed by the same burden, so she takes her own life as well, so she may be with Romeo, in a place where there is no weight to bring them down.
