About This Quote
I will tear this folly from my heart, though every fibre bleed as I rend it away! This quote comes from William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. The character that the quote is said to be about is Mercutio. At the very beginning of the play, Mercutio says, “I will tear this folly from my heart, though every fibre bleed as I rend it away!” It is clear that he uses figurative language to describe how he would act if he were to become seriously angry with Juliet.
