caring, romantic figure.

Shakespeare often personifies night as a protective, intimate presence that shelters lovers (e.g., Juliet’s “Come, night; come, Romeo” and references to night as a “sober‑suited matron” or as the lover’s cloak), making it an ally to romance rather than a villain or a sacred object.
