Read the excerpt from Act I, scene i of Romeo and Juliet. Montague: Many a morning hath he there been seen, With tears augmenting the fresh morning’s dew, Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs: But all so soon as the all-cheering sun Should in the furthest east begin to draw 120 The shady curtains from Aurora’s bed, Away from light steals home my heavy son, And private in his chamber pens himself, Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, And makes himself an artificial night. 125 Black and portentous must this humour prove Unless good counsel may the cause remove. What inference can be made about Montague from this dialogue? He is very concerned about Romeo. He is annoyed with Romeo’s bad mood. He is unaware that Romeo is having troubles. He is the reason Romeo is in such despair.

I think the dialogue infers to him when he wakes up first thing in the morning. Write this more clearly and in complete sentences if this is your answer. I just gave you a broad answer to this question. Also give evidence and proof about how this does infer to him waking up first thing in the morning.

Answer: The inference that can be made about Montague from this dialogue is that he is very concerned about Romeo.

Explanation: In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Montague is Romeo's father. At the beginning of the play, as the excerpt provided shows, Montague expresses his concern for his son as Montague has noticed that Romeo takes early-morning walks to get away from other people and shed tears alone. Moreover, Montague is well aware of the fact that his son tends to lock himself in his bedroom and shut his windows in order to prevent daylight to get in. In that way, this excerpt indicates that Montague is worried about the attitude of Romeo.
