As if that name,
Shot from the deadly level of a gun,
Did murder her; as that name’s cursed hand
Murder’d her kinsman.
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 3, Scene 3. When the Nurse reports that a weeping Juliet has taken to her bed calling out Romeo’s name, Romeo in a simile compares his name to a bullet murdering her, just as he killed Tybalt.
