About This Quote
He had taken George, my beloved George, from me. And he had taken my other self: Anne.This is a line from the play "Romeo and Juliet". The first part of the quote says that Romeo has lost George (his father), then has lost Anne (his mother). We see that Romeo's family is split in two between his love for Juliet and his love for Anne.
The word "my" is very important because it shows that this is Romeo's own thoughts, not someone else's. He feels guilty about his feelings for Juliet because she was supposed to be his friend; however, he does not feel guilty about loving Anne, since she is his mother.
