Explanation and Analysis:

Cat on a Hot Tin Roofpoints out many instances of hypocrisy, and this quote represents one of the most comic and blatant. As a preacher, Reverend Tooker should be counseling a family that has just learned of their patriarch's fatal illness. Instead, he is excited about the idea that Big Daddy may leave behind money to make hischurch more flashy and gaudy.

Indeed, Reverend Tooker is not only greedy, but also envious. He covets the riches of another church--"St. Paul's in Grenada"--and even knows how much their "memorial windows" cost. Although he wears the costume of a man of…

Original

Romeo

(aside) She speaks.
O, speak again, bright angel! For thou art
As glorious to this night, being o’er my head,
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white, upturnèd, wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-puffing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air.

Juliet

Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.

Modern

Romeo

(to himself) She speaks. Speak again, bright angel! For tonight you are as glorious, there up above me, as a winged messenger of heaven who makes mortals fall onto their backs to gaze up with awestruck eyes as he strides across the lazy clouds and sails through the air.

Juliet

O Romeo, Romeo! Why must you be Romeo? Deny your father and give up your name. Or, if you won’t change your name, just swear your love to me and I’ll give up being a Capulet.
