"A damned saint, a worthy villain!" (III. ii. 88). Juliet oscillates between belief and unbelief after learning of Tybalt's murder and refers to Romeo as a "damned saint" and "honorable criminal." These oxymoronic expressions emphasize Juliet's inner turmoil in respect to Romeo's intrinsic goodness. In Catholicism, a damned soul is one who will be punished in hell for all eternity because they did not accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior. To be sure of reaching heaven, one must believe in Jesus and be baptized; otherwise, one's sins will condemn them. The word "saint" is used here in its original meaning of "a person who has been declared holy by a religious community," or "a person who is regarded as having achieved sanctity." In Christianity, there are many saints who have been recognized for their good deeds and are therefore called "holy people." They include some popular figures such as Christopher Columbus, Katherine Drexel, and Teresa of Avila. Romeo is thus a damned saint because he is considered holy even though he has killed someone without remorse. The phrase "honorable criminal" uses both words together to indicate that Romeo is an innocent man who has been unjustly accused of murder. Juliet believes that he is guilty because she loves him. She does not understand that love can make someone do evil things.
