Quote #10

JULIET
Take up those cords: poor ropes, you are beguiled,
Both you and I; for Romeo is exiled:
He made you for a highway to my bed;
But I, a maid, die maiden-widowed.
Come, cords, come, nurse; I'll to my wedding-bed;
And death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead!
(3.2.11)

Denied her wedding night with Romeo, Juliet eroticizes death. Check out "Symbols" for more on this.
