Developing a central idea
it may seem surprising that no confederate sympathizers took action against van lew, given her strong and public views on secession and slavery. surely there were suspicions, especially among her upper-crust neighbors, but the matter never went beyond those suspicions. historians have suggested that the secessionists were victims of their own cultural bias, believing that no aristocratic person, and certainly not a lady, would ever consider taking part in anything as impolite as spying. a true lady managed her servants, prepared parties and gatherings, and blindly supported her husband. such attitudes worked in van lew's favor, diverting suspicion from her.

Read the excerpt from act ii, scene v of romeo and juliet. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: 15 therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. friar laurence is motivated to offer this warning because he knows that something bad will certainly happen to the lovers. feels that romeo is acting foolishly and should not get married. enjoys giving advice because he is wise and can others. wants to caution romeo about the consequences of his actions.
