Both Uses of
strife
in
Romeo and Juliet
- From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.†p. 3.6 *strife = violent conflict or angry disagreement
- He is a kinsman to the Montague,
Affection makes him false, he speaks not true:
Some twenty of them fought in this black strife,
And all those twenty could but kill one life.†p. 134.2
