PLEASE HELP (from Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare)
Read the passage and write a one-paragraph response of at least three-to-five sentences. Provide specific examples to support your answer.
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear,
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
What do you believe the allusion to an Ethiop's ear means in this passage?
