Read the following excerpt from Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal": I have too long digressed, and therefore shall return to my subject. I think the advantages by the proposal which I have made are obvious and many, as well as of the highest importance. . . .

Secondly, The poorer tenants will have something valuable of their own, which by law may be made liable to distress, and help to pay their landlord's rent, their corn and cattle being already seized, and money a thing unknown.

Thirdly, Whereas the maintenance of an hundred thousand children, from two years old, and upward, cannot be computed at less than ten shillings a piece per annum, the nation's stock will be thereby encreased fifty thousand pounds per annum, beside the profit of a new dish, introduced to the tables of all gentlemen of fortune in the kingdom, who have any refinement in taste. And the money will circulate among ourselves, the goods being entirely of our own growth and manufacture.

Fourthly, The constant breeders, beside the gain of eight shillings sterling per annum by the sale of their children, will be rid of the charge of maintaining them after the first year.

romeo and juliet, family means a lot more than a husband, wife, and 2.5 kids. "family" means everyone from the head of the household down to the lowly servants—anyone who could possibly owe any the capulets or montagues loyalty. if you're thinking "street gang" or "mafia movie," you're not too far off. that's why romeo and juliet's little love affair isn't just going to get them grounded; it's a betrayal of absolutely everything—like dating someone from a rival school or, yeah, a rival gang. we might think of family as a place of refuse and security, but, in romeo and juliet, kinship is more often a source of danger and battle.
