Question

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

Romeo: Well, in that hit you miss: she’ll not be hit
With Cupid’s arrow; she hath Dian’s wit;
And, in strong proof of chastity well arm’d,
From love’s weak childish bow she lives unharm’d.
She will not stay the siege of loving terms,

Which is the best meaning of the phrase "she’ll not be hit with Cupid’s arrow”?

She loves Romeo but does not want to marry him.
She believes Romeo does not really love her.
She does not want to fall in love with anyone.
She is too young to understand the meaning of love

Answer 1

"She does not want to fall in love with anyone."

Explanation: Cupid’s arrow is a symbol for falling in love; Romeo means she’s sworn chastity and remains unharmed by love’s advances, so she won’t fall in love.
