__General Meanings__

Shakespeares used fire in his writting to express feelings, points, and other ideas of great importance. Fire is used everywhere from confessing love, to foreshadowing death(s) and destruction. This can make for a very exciting theme, because fire can be widely used, for a whole variety of purposes. (John)

Fire also has an interesting relationship with Light vs. Dark. While fire brings light to the world, it also leaves ash and ruin behind. (Kevin) __Quote Collection__
