Favourite quote

"whereof I take this, that you call love, to be a sect or scion"

I love how shakespeare experiments with this idea of love being a sect or scion.
Such as how he uses the napkin to portray love being passed from hand to hand, or how he uses the strawberry inscriptions on the napkin to further emphasize the symbolism.
I also enjoy the analogy of emotions being similar to florals, herbs, and plants; mentioned just before this quote. How a person would have to nurture undistinguishable seeds, only to find some were weeds, and nettles that are difficult to destroy once they've grown. I think this idea can be manipulated in many different ways, presenting many different oppurtunities.
