r rough draft as well as the précis and give a suitable title to it.
‘‘Edison”, said the General, ‘how much do you want for your “Universal Printer?” This was a very important moment. Edison thought that five thousand dollars would be a suitable price, but he was ready to take three thousand or even less.
Luckily for him he decided that it might be better to leave the matter to the general and asked him what he thought would be the right price. “Would forty thousand dollars suit you?” asked the General.
Edison was so astonished and excited that he almost felt his heart stop beating. At last he said thoughtfully, “yes I think that is fair.” ‘All right,’ said the general, ‘I will have an agreement drawn up; come round in three days and I will give you the money.’ (Word Count 127)

How is catharsis related to Romeo and Juliet? The moment of catharsis in the play occurs when Romeo and Juliet kill themselves.
Nezavi [6.7K]
The way that catharsis is related to Romeo and Juliet is that the moment of catharsis in the play occurs when Romeo and Juliet kill themselves.
Catharsis is emotional discharge after something tragic has happened. The audience usually cries and feels pity after something sad has happened, and that moment is called catharsis. So naturally, when these two young people kill themselves, it is quite sad and the audience feels strong emotions after their death.
