Who said, "O, that I were a glove upon that hand, that I might touch that cheek!"?

"O, that I were a glove upon that hand, that I might touch that cheek!" is a quotation by Romeo in Act II Scene II in the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare. Romeo is delivering a soliloquy as he stands in the Capulet's fruit garden and is viewing Juliet as she stands on her balcony. The quote means that he wished he was a glove on her hand. Juliet then places her hand on her cheek. Romeo's speech has created a metaphor in which the words that ordinarily designate one thing are used to designate another. Scholars noted that Romeo exemplifies imagery and personification. The glove cannot feel anything, so it is given the human quality to do so. Romeo wishes to be the glove on Juliet's hand so he can touch her, giving a real idea of the sense of touching. This is the point where Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague truly reveal their great love for each other.

In this play, it is all about Romeo and Juliet and the real love they share with one another despite their feuding families. Their fateful relationship gets them killed but not without a few heartfelt encounters.
