The story's main character is Toby Dammit, who from infanthood, had been flogged left-handed, which since the world revolves right to left, causes evil propens ...

... love, Juliet found it difficult to express her feelings to Romeo. Had he no overheard her private thoughts in Capulet's orchard, Juliet most likely would not have been able to say those things to his face. Later in the play, Romeo says, "Now I have stained the childhood of our joy." He recognized the purity of their love. Perhaps this is why Juliet devotes herself so entirely to him without any doubts. She has childlike faith in him. In that way, her love for him was blind. Ever the optimist, she still believes Friar Lawrence's plan will work despite all the possible catastrophes that could occur. For her, love will always triumph over hate. There's no reason for h ...
