Hang thee, young baggage! disobedient wretch!
I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday,
Or never after look me in the face:
Speak not, reply not, do not answer me;
My fingers itch.
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 3, Scene 5. Capulet directs vicious insults at Juliet after she refuses to marry Paris, a match that he has arranged for her. He believes that her refusal displays a lack of appreciation and gratitude towards him. Verbally abusive, he threatens to disown her if she disobeys him. He becomes so angry that he wants to hit her – "My fingers itch."
