Act 5 Scene 3: A Series of Confusing Words

PROMPT C

One of my favorite lines in the book was the line "I love thee better than myself" (Romeo). Romeo is talking to Paris. Romeo is trying to die with Juliet alone. However Paris there trying to protect Juliet from Romeo. When Romeo speaks to Paris, he tries to tell him to flee. However this is my favorite line because what Romeo says makes no sense. Paris did not seem to notice it or take it into consideration. This line should have made Paris think about what was happening when Romeo was talking all bad about himself. He could have even predicted that Romeo was suicidal.
