Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Optimistic.

Excited.

Cautious.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju liet," tells the love story of two unfortunate lovers who chose death and stayed loyal to one another. And this death reunites the two families of their feud which was the main reason for their death.

In the given excerpt from the play, Romeo is in conversation with Friar Lawrence about his new love Juliet. The Friar's offer of assisting them in their "alliance" and Romeo's feeling of "sudden haste" presents an optimistic and excited mood/ tone in the scene. Moreover, the Friar's remark of "Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast" is a cautious tone for him to be careful about what they are going to do.
