About This Quote

Was an eternity of absolute ease just another name for hell? This quote expresses the feeling that a life of idleness and luxury is no better than a life spent in servitude. The idea behind this quote is that having an eternity of ease would be the same as living in hell. In this quote, Shakespeare compares a life of luxury to a life in servitude. In this case, Shakespeare does not want to imply that a life of luxury is akin to being a slave, but rather that a life of luxury is just as bad as being a slave.
