Act 4:
'O son, the night before thy wedding-day | hath death lain with thy wife. There she lies | flower as she was, deflow'red by him. | Death is my son-in-law, death is my heir; | my daughter he hath wedded.' (4.4.61-5)
Looks back to Antigone, Iphigenia, Dido et al. whose marriage beds and death-beds are conflated; and forward to Wagner's Liebestod.

Like King Lear and some of the other plays, Romeo has a complicated textual history with two substantive early texts, Q1 and Q2. This editions prints both: Q2 (the most commonly performed version) with the usual apparatus and commentary, and Q1 with minimal glossary.
