"Romeo and Juliet" is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare first published in 1597. It tells the romantic story between young Romeo and Juliet, two lovers whose families are mortal enemies.
Romeo's attitude toward love changes during the story-line. At first his attitude toward love is based on chasing a physical experience rather than a more deep one. Once he meets Juliet, this attitude changes drastically, as he starts to experience a deeper and more meaningful love feeling towards her, and becomes seriously about their life together as lovers. His attitude towards love is an intense and positive one.
On the other hand Mercutio's attitude toward love is a much more pessimistic and detached one than Romeo's. He is a practical character, and he views love as something annoying and meaningless.
Mercutio acts as a foil for Romeo because their views are completely the opposite. While Romeo is a romantic whose conception of love takes over his whole personality, Mercutio does not take love as something seriously. The foil works as a reinforcement of Romeo's intense feelings for Juliet, Mercutio's negativity when it comes to love just highlights how Romeo's viewpoint is the complete opposite, shows how much he is in love with Juliet.
The answer is option B.
In Emily Dickenson's poem "An Awful Tempest Mashed The Air," the theme expresses that bad times only last a little while.
At first, a terrible storm is described, which covers heaven and Earth. As a result, the storm represents bad times, as well as how problems sometimes make people blind, and do not let them see reality and the goods things in life.
Then the author depicts the terrible sounds of the storm, as if evil creatures were laughing and making noises on top of a roof. Thus, they refer to people's feelings of fear in times of trouble.
In a short period of time, the next morning, the sun comes out and problems disappear. As a consequence, there is a sense of peace as if it were heaven.
