Question

Which excerpt from Act IV best supports the answer to Part A?
A.
Juliet. To answer that, I should confess to you.
Paris. Do not deny to him that you love me.
Juliet. I will confess to you that I love him.

B.
Friar. O Juliet, I already know thy grief;
It strains me past the compass of my wits.
I hear thou must, and nothing may prorogue it,
On Thursday next be married to this County.

C.
Friar. Hold, then. Go home, be merry, give consent
To marry Paris. Wednesday is tomorrow.

D.
Friar. Hold! Get you gone, be strong and prosperous
In this resolve. I’ll send a friar with speed
To Mantua, with my letters to thy lord.

Answer 1

I don’t have Part A or your answer — please paste it so I can pick the excerpt that best supports it.

If you can’t, here’s a quick guide to what each excerpt shows so you can match it to your Part A claim:

- A: Juliet says she will confess she loves “him” (Romeo) despite Paris’s urging. Use A if Part A claims Juliet remains loyal to Romeo or secretly rejects Paris.
- B: Friar states Juliet must marry Paris on Thursday. Use B if Part A simply asserts that Juliet is being forced into the marriage.
- C: Friar tells Juliet to go home, appear merry, and consent to marry Paris (Wednesday is tomorrow). Use C if Part A argues that Juliet should/does feign consent to buy time or follow the Friar’s plan.
- D: Friar tells someone to leave and promises to send a friar with letters to Romeo in Mantua. Use D if Part A claims the Friar will notify Romeo of the plan (or arranges communication with Romeo).

Paste Part A (or your answer) and I’ll pick the correct letter and give a brief explanation.
