What does this mean from Romeo and Juliet Act 2 scene 2?
Romeo says that he’s willing to stand there forever and forget that he has any other home, but it’s almost dawn, and Juliet tells him that she wants him to go. But not too far: “And yet no further than a wanton’s [spoiled child’s] bird; / Who lets it hop a little from her hand, / Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves [shackles] , / And with a silk thread plucks it back again” (2.2.178-180) . Romeo wishes that he were her bird, and Juliet answers, “Sweet, so would [wish] I: / Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing” http://www.clicknotes.com/romeo/S22.html… http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/love-in-the-a… Romeo and Juliet.
