Romeo/Benvolio
So, I start my english homework and I start to read the first section in Romeo and Juliet. I'm thinking of how much I'd rather be reading fanfiction than Shakespeare and then Romeo is complaining to Benvolio about how his love can never love him back and all that crap. Then, Benvolio, who is "just Romeo's friend" says:
Ben: Be ruled by me, forget to think of her.
Romeo: O, teach me how I should forget to think.
Ben: By giving liberty unto thine eyes; Examine other beauties. (it's implied that he's saying, like me)
And then after more of Romeo's complaining, he ends with:
Romeo: Farewell: thou canst not teach me to forget.
Ben: I'll pay that doctrine, or else die in dept.
I'm sorry that I see slash in this scene. You do, too, right?
p.s. Did Shakespeare actually mean for Ben to be gay? Because it looks slashy even without my dirty mind being involved.
