Throughout Miss Emily’s childhood, her father believed that “none of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily.� Mr. Grierson did not allow his grown daughter, even at the age of thirty, to make her own decisions.

.... proposal as doing Elizabeth and indeed the whole Bennet family a favour, by allowing them to keep Longbourn Estate in the family so to speak.

Even up to his death he was telling jokes. Because he was characterized by his antics, no one believed that he was really dying. The characters finally stopped joking around when Mercutio fell down dead and a fatal hole was discovered in his chest. Mercutio was Shakespeare’s one comic element in a tale that was not to end happily. Mercutio’s Queen Mab speech (Act 1, scene 4) was an attempt to cheer up Romeo, because he was depressed over his unanswer .....
