But when the prudent prince, who there the sceptre held,
So great a new disorder in his commonweal beheld;
By gentle mean he sought, their choler to assuage;
And by persuasion to appease, their blameful furious rage.
But both his words and time, the prince hath spent in vain:
So rooted was the inward hate, he lost his busy pain.

When we compare both excerpts form William Shakespeare´s Romeo and Juliet, we define that the prince is upset with Capulet and Montague because their fight is disturbing the town´s peace "<em>have thrice disturb´d the quiet of our streets</em>" "<em>so great a new disorder in his commonweal beheld</em>". At this moment we can see the prince as a quiet person who wants the peace for his town and is willing to take the necessary measures for that purpose.I got interested specially the classic version, because it is a patrimonial resource that allow to us know through the writing style how live the people in that period of time and is used to raw material for TV series and movies for our times. We can conclude the main commitment for a prince, president or any kind of leader is provide the peace for the territory which is ruled.

Answer:

Explanation:

The two versions of the famous feud between the Capulets and the Montagues, as perceived by the Prince in both Shakespeare's play and Brookes's poem, are similar in that they both portray the Prince as man who is trying to restore or maintain peace in the land. In  Brooke's poem he is referenced here as being willing to solve the family feud in a gentle way:

But when the prudent prince, who there the sceptre held,

So great a new disorder in his commonweal beheld;

By gentle mean he sought, their choler to assuage;

And by persuasion to appease, their blameful furious rage.

However, in Shakespeare's theatrical version of Romeo and Juliet, the Prince threatens to kill Capulet and Montague when he says,

"If ever you disturb our streets again, Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace."

Shakespeare jacks up the drama by making the family conflict more intense and violent. His language and tone are much more urgent. He demands that they come at once to the neutral meeting place when he says:

"You Capulet; shall go along with me: And, Montague, come you this afternoon."

Brookes's request for a meeting, though, is much less urgent:

"In hope that when he had the wasting flame supprest, In time he

should quite quench the sparks that burned within their breast."

I personally like Shakespeare's play better because the intensity of the story makes it feel more modern and relateable.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The sentence that would support what was written about the photograph is the following.

It is true that the sculpture is so strange, never before seen as a strange abstract piece of work that is the product of an ingenious artistic mind. Its round and brown shaped forms give the sculpture a kind of movement that makes it so interesting. The sculpture was created in 1962. Indeed, the artist created four pieces of this great sculpture, one for himself, and the other three are exhibited in New York, Vancouver, and London.
