Summary

This quote by William Shakespeare represents a complex and contradictory state of emotions in a love relationship. The speaker here acknowledges that their love for someone is considered sinful, as it is incompatible with the virtue of the person they love. Consequently, their love becomes intertwined with both sin and hate. They recognize the conflict between their own flawed emotions and the righteous values represented by their beloved, leading to a sense of self-condemnation. This quote captures the internal struggle and turmoil that can arise when feelings of love and guilt collide.
