Mojo, The Bard, & Me

 

                                            Ah, dear Juliet,

Why art thou yet so fair? Shall I believe

That unsubstantial death is amorous,

And that the lean abhorred monster keeps

Thee here in dark to be his paramour?

-Romeo

Romeo and Juliet                   Act V, Scene iii, Line 103

 

This is, of course, the last scene of the play. Romeo is talking to Juliet. He believes her to be dead, and he is amazed at how beautiful she is even in death. Well, we know that she’s not actually dead yet. I guess that’s the thing. She’s not dead yet.

                                     I'm not dead yet.

Too bad Juliet didn't have a little more spunk in her, like this guy.
