(aside) This is that banished haughty Montague,
That murdered my love's cousin, with which grief,
It is supposed the fair creature died.
And here is come to do some villainous shame
To the dead bodies. I will apprehend him.
(to ROMEO) Stop thy unhallowed toil, vile Montague!
Now would this mean Paris thought he was looting the tomb of the Capulets, or that Paris thought Romeo was there only to disgrace the Capulet members in an act of necrophilia?
I said it in class today(I'm a freshman in Highschool) and my teacher got upset because that's what I thought it meant.
I know Shakespeare was a little bit of an odd person, and the way that this is worded sounds a like he is there to do a little more than loot the tomb.
I honestly don't think that Shakespeare would have worded it this way if Romeo was simply going to steal from the dead bodies.
Thanks :)
