What does this excerpt from act I of Romeo and Juliet reveal about Lord Montague? MONTAGUE: Both by myself and many other friend
s: But he, his own affections' counsellor, Is to himself—I will not say how true— But to himself so secret and so close, So far from sounding and discovery, As is the bud bit with an envious worm, Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Or dedicate his beauty to the sun. Could we but learn from whence his sorrows grow. We would as willingly give cure as know. He does not think that his son should be so secretive about his affections. He thinks his son will destroy himself by being overly emotional about love. He is concerned about the cause of Romeo's sorrow and wants to help his son. He is upset with his son for not sharing his secrets with his own father.
It says,"Could we but learn from whence his sorrows grow. We would as willingly give cure as know." What this basically means is they really want to know why he is sorrowful and if they knew they knew they would try to cure it. So I think the answer would be C. He is concerned about the cause of Romeo's sorrow and wants to help his son. Tell me if I am wrong.
"Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.”
