	Aneta B. Number of messages: 4487	shouldn't be "by what" ?

	Aneta B. Number of messages: 4487	Hm. Maybe I am wrong, but I always thought that the verb "captivate" in an active voice is always followed by "with" "She captivated everybody with her beauty" and in a passive voice, followed by "by": "He was captivated by her beauty"

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Well, that's not the case here. "captivate" is used as "conquer" in this sentence.

	Aneta B. Number of messages: 4487	Hm, is this possible? I thought only "captive" can mean "conquer", not "captivate".

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	"captive" is either a noun or an adjective. The verb is "captivate" What the line intends to mean is that each person has to deserve anything s/he wants to have from her, otherwise s/he will not get it.

	Aneta B. Number of messages: 4487	Oh, sorry I meant rather "capture". I didn't know the meaning of "captivate" as ""conquer". My dictionary (Cambridge) doesn't show it at all. But ok. I am going to accept your explanation. Thanks!
