Yet some happiness must and would arise, from the very conviction, that he did suffer. This quote is one of the most powerful sentences in Shakespeare’s book. The power of this line resides in its simplicity. It is a simple sentence but it states an idea that has profound meaning.
The idea is that even though someone may have suffered, there will still be happiness in their suffering because they are getting what they wanted in the first place. They are getting what they wanted by suffering.
