Question

Compare Juliet's view of the feud to Romeo's view in Act 1, scene 1 where he says "What fray was here? Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all."

a) Juliet is more aware of the feud's consequences, while Romeo is indifferent.
b) Both Juliet and Romeo view the feud as destructive and senseless.
c) Juliet sees the feud as an obstacle, while Romeo is eager to challenge it.
d) Juliet dismisses the feud, while Romeo is deeply affected by it.

Answer 1

Juliet is aware of the feud's consequences, while Romeo is indifferent. Both view the feud as destructive and senseless.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Act 1, scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's view of the feud is depicted as a barrier or obstacle that prevents her from being with Romeo. She is aware of the consequences of the feud and understands that it is a source of conflict between their families. On the other hand, Romeo appears to be indifferent to the feud, as shown by his statement, 'What fray was here? Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all.' This suggests that he is not deeply affected by the feud and is more focused on his love for Juliet.

Therefore, the correct option is:

b) Both Juliet and Romeo view the feud as destructive and senseless.
