If I'm correct, this is a multiple answer question sort of thing.
<span>1. What does Theseus mean by "I will wed thee in another key"?
A. We had a rough start, but I want our wedding to be a happy celebration. B. I won the key to the city in battle so you have to marry me. C. You’ve waited for me while I was away at war, but now it’s our time to be happy. D. We will have special music at our wedding since I am a duke.
The answer is A. He tells her that he used violence to woo her and win her love by injuring her, and hopes they can find happiness in their wedding.
2. In Act I, Scene 1, the characters, including the lovers, speak mostly in blank verse (unrhymed iambic pentameter). That changes when Lysander suggests that he and Hermia run away. Hermia responds to him in rhymed verse, and the rhymes continue for the rest of that scene.
How does the shift from blank verse to rhymed verse change the tone?
A. The tone becomes more informal as the lovers begin to speak in rhyme. B. The tone becomes more formal as the lovers start speaking in rhyme. C. The tone becomes informal and humorous as the lovers make ridiculous rhymes. D. The tone becomes more romantic as the lovers start speaking in rhyme.
I'm not completely certain on this one, but I believe it is A. Most of the nobles in a Midsummer Night's Dream speak only in blank verse, almost to separate commoners from noblemen. Changing from blank verse to rhymed verse could suggest informality. </span>
