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

And hear the sentence of your moved prince.
Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word,

By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,
Have thrice disturb’d the quiet of our streets,
And made Verona’s ancient citizens
Cast by their grave beseeming ornaments,
To wield old partisans, in hands as old,

Canker’d with peace, to part your canker’d hate.
If ever you disturb our streets again
Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.
What will happen if the Capulets and Montagues disturb the peace again?

They will be banished from Verona.
They will have to pay a fine.
They will be punished by death.
They will have to have a duel.

Respuesta :

Answer: They will be punished by death.

In the last section of the passage, the text states:

"If ever you disturb our streets again

Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace."

This is written as a threat. It claims that if the Capulets and the Montagues ever destroy the peace of Verona again (the forfeit of the peace) they will have to pay by death (your lives shall pay).

The love tragedy by Shakespeare which is the most famous work of his was Romeo and Juliet. Scene I of Act I shows the brawl between the enemy household of Montague and Capulet.
