March Break is Over! D:

Hello everyone and welcome back from March Break. Hope you all had a wonderful break, I know I did...not. Well anyways, the topic of today's post is how passion and violence go hand in hand together. Of course this is based on some quotes from Romeo and Juliet.

The first quote is from Benvolio.

"He is already dead; Stabbed with a wench's black eye; 

Shot through the ear with a love song, 

the very pin of his hear cleft with the blind bow-boy's butt shaft."

I believe the theme of this quotation is passion. To start off, the meaning of the quote is how he is so madly in love with Juliet, who is the 'wench' from the quote, that she has control over him.  The part "He's already dead" means that it is hopeless, nothing else will effect him and that he is as emotionless as a dead man. The other part "The very pin of his heart..." this is referencing to the center of Romeo's heart and the "blind bow-boy's butt shaft" is cupid's arrow, so in short this would be thought as Romeo being head over heels in love with Juliet, thus is his passion.

The second quote is from Mercutio.

"A plague o' both your houses!"

 I believe the theme of this quote is both violence and passion. Violence due to the plague being such an extreme sickness and has a bad reputation of killing about 75-100 million people in the 1400's. It is also passionate because Mercutio feels so strongly about having the plague on both the Capulet and Montague families.

This is it for today, Goodbye everyone and have a nice day!
