Answer: Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet develops the theme of love, which is introduced in the prologue. Romeo is portrayed as passionate, love-struck teenager who believes he is in love with Rosaline. However, Romeo’s feelings are described in a humorous way. Although Romeo’s feelings are intense, the audience is unsure how seriously he should be taken. His love seems immature and overemotional. For example, Romeo’s father, Montague, complains about his son:
Many a morning hath he there been seen, With tears augmenting the fresh morning dew. Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs;
He acts like a young lover is expected to act. His poetry about Rosaline is flowery and full of exaggerates allusions. In this way, Romeo’s feelingsvare described as intense but not necessarily sincere. He appears to be in love with the idea of being in love, and Rosaline is an outlet for his strong emotions.
Answer:
a. She speaks without feeling.
Explanation:
William Dean Howell's short story "Editha" revolves around the character of Editha who forces her fiancé George Gearson, to volunteer in the army. This is her way of trying to make him, or any man, prove their loyalty and courage to get her hand in marriage.
George has no inclination to be a war soldier, but rather he had once wanted to be a minister. And with the news of the upcoming war, George and Editha's opinions of war differs, with Editha supporting it. And so, despite George's reservations about the war, Editha told him she's his, <em>"for time and eternity"</em>. But with that being said, it was more like her want to satisfy her craving for a feminine response, with the narrator revealing<em> "she liked the words; they satisfied her famine for phrases."
</em>
This shows Editha did not really speak after considering all possibilities. She was merely acting without any careful thought or feeling.
Thus, the correct answer is option a.
