Juliet is afraid her relatives will kill Romeo/Romeus if they find him outside her window.

Part B
Which sets of lines from the two selections best support your answer in Part A?

“And the place death, considering who thou art, / If any of my kinsmen find thee here” and “What if your deadly foes, my kinsmen, saw you here? / Like lions wild, your tender parts asunder would they tear.”

“My life were better ended by their hate / Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.” and “A sacrifice to death I would my wounded corpse betake,”

“With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls; / For stony limits cannot hold love out,” and “But who to reave my life, his rage and force would bend, / Perhaps should try unto his pain how I it could defend.”

“I would not for the world they saw thee here” and “In ruth and in disdain I, weary of my life, / with cruel hand my mourning heart would pierce with bloody knife.”

Final answer:

The detail not commonly shared between the two passages is 'Juliet says that she would kill herself if Romeo/Romeus were killed,' as this is not explicitly mentioned in the provided lines. Instead, the lines suggest Juliet's fear of relatives harming Romeo/Romeus and a general despair.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage that is NOT a detail the two selections have in common is: 'Juliet says that she would kill herself if Romeo/Romeus were killed.' This detail differs from the selected texts because, in the given lines, there is no indication that Juliet would take her own life if Romeo/Romeus were to die. Instead, this detail is a predictive sorrow expressed in other parts of the stories but not in the cited lines.

The sets of lines that best support this answer are:

  • "I would not for the world they saw thee here" and "In ruth and in disdain I, weary of my life, / with cruel hand my mourning heart would pierce with bloody knife."

These lines reflect Juliet's fear of her relatives killing Romeo/Romeus and her own despair, but not the specific detail of her intent to kill herself if Romeo/Romeus were killed.
