Answer: In his cell, Friar Lawrence speaks with Paris about the latter’s impending marriage to Juliet. Paris says that Juliet’s grief about Tybalt’s death has made her unbalanced, and that Capulet, in his wisdom, has determined they should marry soon so that Juliet can stop crying and put an end to her period of mourning. The friar remarks to himself that he wishes he were unaware of the reason that Paris’s marriage to Juliet should be delayed.
Juliet enters, and Paris speaks to her lovingly, if somewhat arrogantly. Juliet responds indifferently, showing neither affection nor dislike. She remarks that she has not married him yet. On the pretense that he must hear Juliet’s confession, Friar Lawrence ushers Paris away, though not before Paris kisses Juliet once. After Paris leaves, Juliet asks Friar Lawrence for help, brandishing a knife and saying that she will kill herself rather than marry Paris. The friar proposes a plan: Juliet must consent to marry Paris; then, on the night before the wedding, she must drink a sleeping potion that will make her appear to be dead; she will be laid to rest in the Capulet tomb, and the friar will send word to Romeo in Mantua to help him retrieve her when she wakes up. She will then return to Mantua with Romeo, and be free to live with him away from their parents’ hatred. Juliet consents to the plan wholeheartedly. Friar Lawrence gives her the sleeping potion.
He doesn't panic; in fact, he doesn't even seem to be surprised
The correct answer is: self-serving bias.
A person who shows a self-serving bias is one who wishes to maintain their good opinion of themselves, even boost their self-esteem, by interpreting situations in a biased manner. In a successful situation, they try to take all the glory for themselves while, in the case of failure, they refuse to take any portion of the blame or responsibility.
The sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's <em>The Death of Ivan Ilyich </em>that shows that Ivan Ilyich's son is still innocent and uncorrupted is "His son had always seemed pathetic to him, and now it was dreadful to see the boy's frightened look of pity".
In this novella by Leo Tolstoy, Vasya, Ivan Ilyich's son, is presented as an uncorrupted character. <u>He is the one who actually feels sad for his father's suffering</u> before he dies at the end of the book. At the same time, Vanya is one of the few characters whom Ivan feels compassion for since <u>his son has not fallen into the trap of a society full of inauthentic people</u>. In other words,<u> Vanya is presented as a genuine and caring child: he remains innocent in a society where everyone is false. </u>
