Quotes Indicate who is expressing the indicated quote, what scene the quote is from and the significance of the quote according to the play.
“Death is my son-in-law, death is my heir,
My daughter he hath wedded. I will die,
And leave him all-life, living, all is Death’s”
Farewell! God knows when we shall meet
again.
I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins
That almost freezes up the heat of life.
“Why, love, I say! Madam! Sweetheart! Why,
Bride!
Marry and amen, how sound is she asleep!
I needs must wake her. Madam, madam,
madam!”
