A crutch, a crutch! Why call you for a sword? Capulet: My sword, I say! Old Montague is come, And flourishes his blade in spite of me. What is the purpose of this dialogue? to foreshadow the tragedy to describe the setting to provide comic relief to help build suspense

Comedic Relief

Capulet calls for a sword, but Lady Capulet's lines 'offer' him a crutch instead. This is used to show how old and incapable Capulet would be in a street brawl with much younger and stronger fighters. Capulet refers to Montague 'flourishing his blade in spite' of him, which shows that Montague is not taking part in the actual fight either, just waving his sword around. This shows that the head of both houses are not actually effectual within the fight, but encourage its continuation regardless.

what effect did lincoln have on douglass's life? in what respect did douglass carry on lincoln's work?
Nookie1986 [14]
Lincoln affected Douglass's life, as he always looked up to Abraham and his ways. He had always felt very strongly about abolishing slavery, especially when having the chance to talk to Abraham Lincoln about taking an act on finally abolishing slavery. (I apologize for the repetition! I honestly have no clue about this. Hope this helps! :) )
