Much Ado About Nothing ‧ 1600
Thou wilt be condemned into everlasting redemption for this.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The threat joins condemnation to redemption, putting punishment and salvation into the same phrase. Read as a verbal mistake, it overturns the severity the speaker appears to intend. The grand promise of something everlasting makes the contradictory choice of word especially conspicuous.
