What is the significance of the lines:
"For naught so vile that on the Earth doth live/
But to the Earth some special good doth give;/
Nor aught so good but, strained from that fair use,/
Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse./
Virtue itself turns to vice, being misapplied,/
And vice sometime by action dignified."
What is the Earth may have things that are bad and evil, but none of these things are so evil that they do not have some good quality or purpose.
But there is also nothing that would stay as good if it was but to the wrong use. Good things will turn bad if put into a situation that it is misused and bad things can sometimes get better if put to a better action.
Put the following quote into proper MLA format:
Author: William Shakespeare
Text: The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet
Scene 2
Act 4
Line 32
“Begot of nothing but vain fantasy, Which is as thin of substance as the air"
What is “Begot of nothing but vain fantasy, Which is as thin of substance as the air" (Rom. 4.2.32).
Who spoke these lines, what do they mean, and why are these lines significant to the play overall:
"Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day./
It was the nightingale, not the lark/
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear"
(Rom.3.5.1-3).
Who is Juliet? These lines mean that the two "love birds" heard a sound of a bird and the sound that they heard was a lark. A lark represents morning as opposed to a nightingale that has a sweet sound at night. Juliet is trying to convince Romeo that it was the sound of a nightingale, as in it is still night and he can still stay with her in her bedroom, where he should not be at the risk of being killed. But, in reality, it is a lark, which means he is at risk and should fear its sound. Her blissful request shows her utter lack of thinking consequences out and shows how immature and impulsive she can be when it comes to her feelings as opposed to how logical and cautious she should have been with falling in love with Romeo or even being around him.
