Answer 4

What does loathsome mean as it is used in the following lines from Act IV, Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet?
Juliet: Or, if I live, is it not very like
The horrible conceit of death and night,
Together with the terror of this place,--
As in a vault, an ancient receptacle,
Where, for this many hundred years, the bones
Of all my buried ancestors are pack’d;
Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth
Lies festering in his shroud; where, as they say,
At some hours in the night spirits resort;--
Alack, alack, it is not like that I,
So early waking,--what with loathsome smells,
And shrieks like mandrakes torn out of the earth,
That living mortals, hearing them, run mad;
