 Studying William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, let's look at key quotations relating to the character of Makishio. In Act 204 he is presented as very bawdy and dismissive of love. He says if love be rough with you, be rough with love and the repetition of love essentially shows how dismissive he is towards love. Furthermore the repetition of rough shows that he sees falling in love as a sign of weakness. The alliteration and prick love for pricking shows that he sees love as something to be deflated, something to be defeated. The verb beat to describe how he would beat love down shows his violent nature. The alliteration of E in Give Me shows he takes Romeo's heart break as a joke. Visage is a noun, however in this case it means face and it's a mask that he's placing on his face. Also, a visor for a visor is an inflammatory sentence. Here it's really interesting because he's talking about a mask. In many ways what this shows is that he never really truly trusts intentions of women even if they say that they're in love with him. He sees that just as a mask.
