Explain how Juliet comes to her decision at the end of her soliloquy. Are her reasons based more on logic or emotion? Support yo

ur response with evidence from the text.
JULIET: Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.
I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
That almost freezes up the heat of life:
I'll call them back again to comfort me:
Nurse! What should she do here?
My dismal scene I needs must act alone.
Come, vial.
What if this mixture do not work at all?
Shall I be married then to-morrow morning?
No, no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there.
[Laying down her dagger]
What if it be a poison, which the friar
Subtly hath minister'd to have me dead,
Lest in this marriage he should be dishonour'd,
Because he married me before to Romeo?
I fear it is: and yet, methinks, it should not,
For he hath still been tried a holy man.
How if, when I am laid into the tomb,
I wake before the time that Romeo
Come to redeem me? there's a fearful point!
Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault,
To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in,
And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?
Or, if I live, is it not very like,
The horrible conceit of death and night,
Together with the terror of the place,—
As in a vault, an ancient receptacle,
Where, for these many hundred years, the bones
Of all my buried ancestors are packed:
Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth,
Lies festering in his shroud; where, as they say,
At some hours in the night spirits resort;—
Alack, alack, is it not like that I,
So early waking, what with loathsome smells,
And shrieks like mandrakes' torn out of the earth,
That living mortals, hearing them, run mad:—
O, if I wake, shall I not be distraught,
Environed with all these hideous fears?
And madly play with my forefather's joints?
And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud?
And, in this rage, with some great kinsman's bone,
As with a club, dash out my desperate brains?
O, look! methinks I see my cousin's ghost
Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body
Upon a rapier's point: stay, Tybalt, stay!
Romeo, I come! this do I drink to thee.

The answer would be that Juliet's reasons are based more on her emotions, rather than logic. To support this statement in the play Romeo and Juliet, Juliet says, "<span>I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
That almost freezes up the heat of life:
I'll call them back again to comfort me:
Nurse! What should she do here?
My dismal scene I needs must act alone.
Come, vial.
What if this mixture do not work at all?
Shall I be married then to-morrow morning?" 
This shows that she is panicking about using the vial. She is constantly questioning herself because of her panicked emotions. </span>

Juliet uses both logic and emotion to make her decision, but her emotions ultimately help her decide. She struggles with many internal fears as she builds up her nerve to take the potion that Friar Laurence has given her. She feels that her family has betrayed her by forcing her to marry Count Paris. She feels bad about lying to her family and going against them and wishes that things could go back to the way they were.

After she realizes she must be mature and make this decision by herself, Juliet has to overcome her fears about the potion. She briefly doubts Friar Laurence, but immediately reminds herself that he is a holy man and that she can trust him:

I fear it is: and yet, methinks, it should not,

For he hath still been tried a holy man.

Since the potion is alien to her, Juliet doesn’t know if it’ll work properly. She’s worried about what will happen if she wakes up before Romeo arrives to save her and she suffocates and dies in the tomb:

Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault,

To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in,

And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?

Despite all her fears, when Juliet imagines that Tybalt’s ghost will try to kill Romeo for revenge, she makes up her mind to drink the potion and hope that everything works out with Romeo. In the end, it’s clear that Juliet’s love for Romeo helps her to overcome her fears and to make her decision to drink the potion.

What was your reaction when you read the first line of The Nickel Boys? For reference, the line is "Elwood received the best gif
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Find the answers and explanations below.

Explanation:

1. The aspects of the line that inspire interest in Elwood include

a. The best gift of his life. One wonders what the best gift could be and its importance to him.

b. ...even if the ideas it put into his head were his undoing. The reader might also wonder what the ideas were and why it would cause Elwood's undoing.

2. Mysterious things are unknown and hard to explain. The best gift of his life is mysterious because the reader has no idea of what that gift could be because not much is known about the protagonist. The ideas in his head which would cause his undoing are also mysterious.

3. The phrase I would want to be explained to me is; The best gift of his life. When I know what that gift is, it would help me understand the personality of Elwood and why he had ideas in his head on receiving the gift.

4. The author can explain it further because he knows the qualities of the characters involved in the story.

5. One possibility could be that the gift has a major significance in the story.

Another possibility could be that the gift promoted an ideology that the protagonist holds dear.

The use of the phrase might have also been to whet the reader's interest in the story.

6. I think that the last reason is most likely. Seeing that the reader is not yet acquainted with the character, the mystery surrounding the best gift would make him wonder what that gift was. He would also want to find out by reading more of the story.

[A]ny woman born with a great gift in the sixteenth century
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Hey There!! The answer to this is B: To add an emotional element that evokes sympathy on the part of the reader.

The great 20th century writer, Virginia Woolf, in this famous essay explores her role as a writer and a woman exposing in many ways the difficulties that a learned woman had to face, not only in her own time, but historically, in order to be able to develop her trade or art form in a patriarchal society. The fragment aims at inspiring sympathy in the reader, regardless of the latter´s gender, in order to draw attention to the inequalities that women had, and still have to, face every day.
