Answer:

Tales adapted from Italian stories were popular at the time.

Explanation:

This is most likely why Shakespeare decided to write a play based on the story of <em>Romeo and Juliet</em>. At that time, Italian stories were extremely popular. This was due to the literary and cultural influence that Italy had in Europe. Therefore, while Romeo and Juliet was a story present in various earlier traditions (such as<em> Pyramus and Thisbe</em>), Shakespeare decided to set this story in Italy, borrowing heavily from Boccaccio's <em>Decameron</em>.

What purpose does the house serve in the passage below?
Verizon [17]

The house in "The Deserted House" is a metaphor for a dead body or dead person.

The poem opens with "life and thought have gone away" speaking of a person who has died and no longer has life or thoughts. It continues in Lines 1-3 describing the emptiness of the house, showing the stillness and emptiness of death.

In Line 4 "The house was builded of the earth, And shall fall again to ground." refers to a body being buried, similar to the common funeral phrase "from dust to dust"

Line 5 refers to the person in Heaven- "in a city glorious-- A great and distant city--have bought A mansion incorruptible." Incorruptible in this line means everlasting or unable to decay, showing that the person, (the "mansion") will stay there forever.

The poem ends with "Would they could have stayed with us!" in reference to the person who has died-wishing they had not "moved" to heaven and instead could have stayed alive.
