Explain the lines below from William Shakespeare Parting is such sweet sorrow working in a coal mine is living death​

Sagot :

Answer:

Why is it that we use the phrase ‘Parting is such sweet sorrow’ so often? Generally, we don’t even know what it means. After all, it doesn’t make sense, does it? Sweet sorrow seems to contradict itself…

‘Parting is such sweet sorrow’ is a quote from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, spoken by Juliet in act 2, scene 2. The scene in which this sentence appears takes place on a balcony attached to Juliet’s bedroom (the famed ‘balcony scene’), towards the end of which Juliet says:

‘Sweet, so would I

Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.

Good night, good night!Parting is such sweet sorrow.’

Answer:

It mentions sorrow without it being the sorrow of death. It anticipates meeting again and acknowledges the pleasure the parting friends have experienced

Explanation:

The phrase is used today in other contexts, such as in connection with death. When a loved one has passed on and all we are left with are memories, notwithstanding the sorrow of that parting, we are left with many sweet memories of their life. It is also used quite theatrically by friends saying goodbye, as a lighthearted flourish. It is a quote that comes quickly to the mind – probably because it is so beautiful. It mentions sorrow without it being the sorrow of death. It anticipates meeting again and acknowledges the pleasure the parting friends have experienced in their relationship. It’s perfect. And that’s what Shakespeare intended it to be.
