The connotative meaning of fault lines in this excerpt is something powerful and threatening.

A fault line is a break in the Earth's surface. It is mainly used to talk about a crack that occurs when the Earth's tectonic plates move or shift. In this excerpt in particular, <u>"fault line" has been used in a metaphorical way to refer to the power that world wars have to create a fracture between nations and the power they have to bring destruction.</u> In that way, "fault lines" has a negative connotative meaning in this excerpt, which means that unpleasant emotions are associated to that word. Moreover, wars are also conceived as something negative in these lines.

Okay, my questions keep getting deleted, because I was being "funny" when I asked if Romeo and Juliet were crazy.
KiRa [710]

i believe that he did value looks over personality, and yes, she most definetly WAS a rebound from rosaline. tybalt was her cousin, and the person she was told to marry was paris. she didn't discover this fact untill AFTER she had married romeo, so it wasn't that she didn't want to get married to someone else. you are right, they didn't know each other when they eloped, but in their minds, it was the right thing to do.
