Read the excerpt from Act II, scene v of Romeo and Juliet.

Friar Laurence: These violent delights have violent ends,
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder
Which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite:
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

What effects does the foreshadowing in Friar Laurence’s warning to Romeo have? Check all that apply.

Answer:

  • William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a story about two lovers who are deeply and truly in love with each other, but how the outside forces are against their relationship.
  • Friar Laurence is a character who acts as an adviser. From the Act 2 we come to know that Laurence is warning Romeo about all the ill effects of their relationship.
  • From the very first line readers get to know that when two people are in love, such lovers eventually end up being dead.
