Answer 1

The mood of both the passage and the painting is somber. In the passage, Friar Lawrence is dealing with the aftermath of tragedy and death, focusing on the urgency of the situation and the loss of life, which creates a serious and melancholic atmosphere. Similarly, a painting depicting themes of death, loss, or mourning would likely capture a somber mood as well.
