Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their battling families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers. They are considered the perfect model for the young love.

Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. Shakespeare's use of his poetic dramatic structure has been praised as an early sign of his dramatic skill. The play assigns different poetic forms to different characters, sometimes changing the form as the character develops. Romeo, for example, grows more proficient at the sonnet over the course of the play.

The play is set in Verona, Italy, begins with a street fight between Montague and Capulet servants who, like their masters, are sworn enemies. Prince Escalus of Verona mediates and declares that further rupture of the peace will be punishable by death. Later, Count Paris talks to Capulet about marrying his daughter Juliet, but Capulet asks Paris to wait another two years and invites him to attend a planned Capulet ball. Lady Capulet and Juliet's nurse try to persuade Juliet to accept Paris's courtship. But contrary to everyone’s wishes and better fate Juliet fall in love with one of the Montagues, Romeo, and the tragedy properly starts.

Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle homes. The sun and rain had long since faded its rickety frame

Answer:

D.Switches between first person and third person limited

Explanation:

To answer this question correctly, we need to understand the differences between the perspectives. The first person point of view has the characteristic that it only allows the reader to experience the action and thoughts of a character within a book, which means that the first person is limited in itself. Also, it is grammatically characterized by the use of the pronoun I. The third person, on the other hand, gives a more integral perception of the story, a fuller view, and it is grammatically characterized by the use of any other pronouns except I. However, while the simple third person is limited also to only the emotions, actions, thoughts and feelings of one character, the third person omniscient detaches the reader from a single character and allows him/her to have full view of all the characters, all the actions taken by all the characters and knows information that even the characters themselves might not know. The best way to know when a writer is using any of these perspectives, is by focusing on the pronouns being used. In this case, we have two instances. The use of the third person, because we have someone narrating the characteristics of the house of Miss Lottie, in comparisson with those of all others. It is also evident when the writer uses "our" that this person is part of the characters, so this person is narrating and also participating and whatever is happening is depending on this character´s narration. Then, after all the details, the narrator passes to the first person by saying: "There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet". This is why the correct answer is D. Switches between first person and third person limited.
