Mercutio is much more lighthearted than Romeo, and this is shown over and over again through their discussion in Act 1, Scene 4 before the Capulet ball. Romeo uses phrases like "I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move," showing that his heart and soul are heavy, keeping him on the ground and not able to dance. Mercutio replies with "You are a lover; borrow Cupid's wings, And soar with them above a common bound." This quote shows that he has a more positive outlook on love than Romeo does. He knows that Romeo is obsessed with love, so he is trying to get him to brighten up and have some fun. This contrast between the two characters continues when Romeo responds, "<span>Under love's heavy burden do I sink." He is using the fact that Mercutio pointed out that he is a lover to prove his despair even more. Mercutio responds with a pun, trying again to lighten the mood.</span>

In what way does the author convey the
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Unfortunately, you did not attach the whole text of reference. So we do not know the kind of text and who the author is. Without that information, we cannot include the supporting details of the text.

However, we can comment on the Battle of Athens, if this can be of any help.

Just by reading the paragraph in the screenshot you attached, we can say that the author is very descriptive in his narrative and uses mane figures of language such as metaphors.

The Battle of Athens was fought in August 1946, as part of a rebellion of the people from the towns Etowah and Athens in the state of Tennessee. The causes of this rebellion were police brutality, corruption in the police department, and interference with the local elections.

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)
