About This Quote

In the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," Shakespeare wrote, “O weep for Adonis, he is dead.” This line comes from a character named Bottom who is mourning the loss of Adonis, a young man whom Bottom believes to have been a good friend. Bottom believes that the young man is dead, and his grief for him is so powerful that he cannot bare living without him. However, Shakespeare’s version of the line is different from the one spoken by Bottom in the play. In this version, Shakespeare actually wrote “O weep for death itself.” In this case, Shakespeare was essentially saying that mourning for death itself can be just as powerful as mourning for a lost loved one.

After all, death is an inevitable part of life. To lead a life without worrying about death would be unwise. Instead, it’s important to embrace life and live it to its fullest extent.
