O son! The night before thy wedding day
Hath death lain with thy wife. There she lies,
Flower as she was, deflowered by him.
Death is my son-in-law. Death is my heir.
My daughter he hath wedded. I will die,
And leave him all. Life, living, all is Death’s.
The deeply grieving Capulet speaks these words to Paris after Juliet is found and presumed to be dead on the day she was to marry Paris at her father’s behest. In the speech, he personifies Death his son-in-law and heir, signifying that he has lost everything that was important to him.
