Answer: Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy.

Explanation:

The prologue of this play establishes it as a tragedy by using key words like "fatal", "piteous", and "strife". Shakespeare lets the audience know from the very first lines that this is a tragic tale.

"From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life,

Whose misadventured piteous overthrows

Doth with their death bury their parents' strife."

Of course, he further elaborates on the tragedy through the scenes just foreshadowed. Romeo and Juliet, our protagonists both die. In a triumphant ending, we would see the protagonist achieve their desires.

There are subtle examples of the tragedy as well. In Act 2 Scene 2, Juliet laments on their unfortunate circumstance. "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?" She isn't asking where he is, but why he has to be a Montague. Though it is a romantic scene in which they reveal their desires, it is inherently tragic. They can never truly be together.

I would say that it depends on the audience. Personally, a debate regarding ethics and moral dilemma is interesting. Read The Fat Man and the Impending Doom. It's just one paragraph so it's not going to bore audience.

I believe that this type is a lecture-forum discussion.

Explanation:

The selection from the Navajo Origin Legend shows the origin of "marriage".

They are the First Man and First Woman. They were later directed to build an enclosure made of brushwood. When it was finished, they entered there as husband and wife.

So, the selection shows the origin of "marriage"
