Today’s Totally Random
Lines
Give me thy torch, boy; hence, and stand
aloof:-
Yet put it out, for I would not be seen.
Paris
Romeo and Juliet Act V, Scene iii, Line 1
These are the first lines of the last scene of the play. A lot is going to happen in the three hundred lines of this scene. Paris will die, Romeo will die, and Juliet will die. So then, as Paris speaks these lines all of these three are still alive, and, if you think about it, as this scene starts, the play could still have a fairly happy ending. Interesting.
Wait, does it? Does this play have a happy ending? I thought it was a tragedy?
Well, I woke sleepy head up with that one.
No Mojeo,
sadly it does not.
I always call him Mojeo when we’re doing Romeo and Juliet. That was his idea.
