Interpretation of a Paradox in 'Romeo and Juliet'
"The earth that’s nature’s mother is her tomb; What is her burying grave, that is Rainbow in her womb.”
From Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, is an oft-quoted example of a paradox, a literary device - literally meaning: contrary to expectations, existing belief, or perceived opinion.
However, I am not able to understand what Shakespeare has to say in the above lines in the first place, could someone please explain in detail?
