Question

What is Friar Laurence saying? [T]he sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite: (II. vi. 13-15) Sugary things are always bad for you - he is advising the young lovers to not get married until the "honeymoon" phase is over. Too much of a good thing is still too much - he is advising the young lovers to love moderately. Love is like a sugar buzz - he is telling the young lovers that they are acting out of the bounds of reason. He is actually, in this case, really talking about honey.
