Quote: "Roderigo. It is silliness to live when to live is torment; and then we have a prescription to die when death is our physician."(1.3.303-305)
Significance:
This quote shows the characterization of Roderigo, who believes that a life of pain is no life to live, and that death would be a much better fate. I like the language used in this quote. It's not difficult to understand, yet it's not straight-forward. This is common in Shakespeare's work, although this is the first time I ever found anything positive out of it.
Question: Is Roderigo given a tragic or comedic role in the story?
