Read Capulet’s speech from Act IV, Scene 2, as he plans for the wedding:
Tush, I will stir about,
And all things shall be well, I warrant thee, wife:
Go thou to Juliet, help to deck up her;
I’ll not to bed to-night; --let me alone;
I’ll play the housewife for this once. --What, H-o!
-- They are all forth: well, I will walk myself
To County Paris, to prepare him up
Against to-morrow: my heart is wondrous light
Since this same wayward girl is so reclaim’d.
How does this example of dramatic irony create tension?
A. Readers know that Juliet will obey her father's wishes.
B. Readers know that Juliet has no plans to marry Paris.
C. Readers know that Capulet looks forward to his daughter's marriage to Paris.
D. Readers know that Capulet plans to continue the montague feud.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is B.

Readers are aware of Juliet's plan. They know she is planning to fake her death and run off with Romeo. Therefore, when Capulet says these lines in preparation for Juliet's wedding to Paris, readers know he is totally unaware of what is about to happen.

Furthermore, tension is increased when he talks about his happy feeling (my heart is wondrous light), which we know will drastically end in the morning when he finds his daughter has taken her life. Therefore, this speech increases the tension because we know Juliet has no intention of following her father's wishes.

Answer:

B. Readers know that Juliet has no plans to marry Paris.

Explanation:

It clear to the readers throughout the selection that Juliet shows no interest in Paris,and has no plans to marry him.

When juliet meets

romeo and falls in love with him at first sight, despite finding out after she kissed him there parents have a big feud and are pretty much rivals. Everybody wants Paris to marry Juliet, despite having everybody's support, she still falls in love and marries Romeo over Paris.

Paris has a clear advantage, yet Romeo still catches Juliet's heart and love. All of this clearly shows the reader that Juliet loves romeo and does like Paris at all nor have any plans to marry him.
