It is maintained that Quine had two arguments against quantified modal logic; one rooted in an opposition to the idea of an essential property; and the other rooted in an opposition to the idea that one might intelligibly quantify into opaque contexts. These arguments are critically examined and shown to lead to very different conclusions and considerations.
