Today’s Totally Random
Line(s)
A
damned saint!, an honourable villain!—
-Juliet
Juliet
just found out from her nurse that Romeo has killed her cousin Tybalt. So she
goes into a rant where she comes up with a whole bunch of opposites that Romeo
is. Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical! etc, etc. At this point she loves him,
but also hates him for killing her cousin. Is that true? Does she hate him? I’m not
so sure about that.
I guess Prof. Johnston would take this opportunity to point out the theme
of opposites in this play: two lovers from opposite sides of the tracks for
starters. And you can take it from there.
Go
ahead!
How about these two? Are they opposites? And do opposites attract?
You tell me.
