Could someone help me with this? I'm not really good at doing this.These quotes are from Romeo and Juliet and I have to take any three of these quotes and then translate these Shakespeare's language into modern, everyday language. Use the slang and "hip lingo" of our day; your translation can be humorous. TY
"By a name I know not how to tell thee who I am. My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself because it is an enemy to thee. Had I it written, I would tear the word."
"These times of woe afford no times to woo."
"...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."
"...Go thither, and with unattainted eye compare her face with some that I shall show, and I will make thee think thy swan a crow."
"...See what a scourge is laid upon your hate, that heaven finds means to kill your joys with love. And I, for winking at your discords too, have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished."
