You Are A Lover; Borrow Cupids Wings, And Soar With Them Above A Common Bound.

“You are a lover; borrow Cupid’s wings, And soar with them above a common bound.”

— Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet (1.4.15-16)

Just a theory....

Okay okay so in Romeo and Juliet Mercutio is stabbed on stage and Benvolio takes him off stage, only to enter later saying Mercutio died, right? But what if, Benvolio simply took Mercutio off to some hiding place, patched him up enough so he wouldn’t die, then declared him dead because it was too much for him to take the thought of Mercutio getting hurt again and with all the tension going on it just wasn’t safe. So then he returns with medicine and stuff, nurses him back to health and after like you know all hell breaks loose, they run away together to live out their lives on some beautiful vineyard somewhere. Just think about it.

mercutio's "a plague o' both your houses" was essentially "fuck You AND You"

“Mercutio’s only two qualities: gay and stupid.”
