“For this alliance may so happy prove, to turn your households rancour to pure love”- these characters are sacrificial lambs- their love is almost a sacrifice for the greater goos which is to unite their family this is a massive juxtaposition- shows they didn’t so much care for the individuals but instead for the honour of the family “- For by you leaves, you shall not stay alone, till holy church incorporate
two into 1” act 2 scene 4

had violent ends”- the first violent- idea of something being forced and impulsive e.g someone pushes you you push them back- things done impulsively happens quickly and end fast- foreshadows just as quick as it came it goes.

form cries out thou art;
thy teas are womanish, thy wild acts denote the unreasonable fury
of a beast. unseemly woman in a seeming man”
