Mercutio is much more lighthearted than Romeo, and this is shown over and over again through their discussion in Act 1, Scene 4 before the Capulet ball. Romeo uses phrases like "I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move," showing that his heart and soul are heavy, keeping him on the ground and not able to dance. Mercutio replies with "You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, And soar with them above a common bound." This quote shows that he has a more positive outlook on love than Romeo does. He knows that Romeo is obsessed with love, so he is trying to get him to brighten up and have some fun. This contrast between the two characters continues when Romeo responds, "<span>Under love's heavy burden do I sink." He is using the fact that Mercutio pointed out that he is a lover to prove his despair even more. Mercutio responds with a pun, trying again to lighten the mood.</span>

THE AUTHORS DRAW A CLEAR CONNECTION BETWEEN HINDU VEGETARIANISM AND THE CONCEPT OF HOT AND COLD FOODS. DESCRIBE HOW THIS COMPARI
bulgar [2K]

While it might have seemed like a good idea for <u>Sultan Singh to start an egg business, the population of India is largely vegetarian</u> due to religious reasons  and does not eat eggs so the business failed.

Explanation:

Hot and Cold foods are described locally and known intuitively by many people who follow the Hindu religion. Eating habits are based on the demarcation.

<u>Cold foods are not eaten after sunset as they induce cold and fever it is believed. These include curd, fruits and even rice which is served hot.</u>

<u>Any other type of staple food is believed to be hot and can be eaten throughout the day.</u>

The Singh business did not run because of the strict eating habits of Hindu of which the above is a great example. These habits include not eating non vegetarian food on certain days for even the people who  do. Thus a non vegetarian business finds it hard to function in a Hindu majority region.
