According to benvolio who started the fight

English

Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago

This is what Benvolio says (talking to Montague).

"Here were the servants of your adversary,
And yours, close fighting ere I did approach:
I drew to part them: in the instant came
The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared,
Which, as he breathed defiance to my ears,
He swung about his head and cut the winds,
Who nothing hurt withal hiss'd him in scorn:
While we were interchanging thrusts and blows,
Came more and more and fought on part and part,
Till the prince came, who parted either part".

What actually happened was that Sampson and Gregory (Capulet servants) intended to provoke some of Montague's men into a fight. With Sampson biting his thumb, a verbal argument soon escalates into a fight between the parties. Benvolio then comes along sees the fight and tries to stop it by beating down their swords, using his own to do so. Tybalt then comes along and seeing Benvolio with a drawn sword, attacks. The fight then escalates further with the general citizenry joining in.

Therefore doing a quick precis of Benvolio's words - I saw your servants and those of your adversary (Capulet) fighting. I drew my sword to try and stop them. At that very moment, Tybalt appeared and seeing my drawn sword attacked. I asked him to cease, but he defied this request and wouldn't stop, expessing scorn for Montagues. We were skirmishing, and then more and more of the general citizens joined in, escalating a small disturbance into a major melee until the prince stepped in and stopped it..

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A) Sthuladatta ignores Harisarman, except when he feels he needs him.

This Indian tale named “Harisarman” is about a village Brahmin who becomes wealthy and popular with his fate. Though he was poor and foolish at the beginning of the story but later turns to be a cunning person. He plays along with his fate to develop his fame among the villagers and Sthutadatta. Sthutadatta gave shelter and job to Harisarman and his family. Harisarman took offense when Sthutadatta forgot to feed him in the feast. He apologized to him and asked his favor to search the horse through his magical powers. Later in the story, Harisarman was called when robbery started to happen in the town. After he would solve the problem he was usually rewarded.
