What is one possible disadvantage of hearing the characters’ voices as opposed to silently reading the scene?

ziro4ka [17]

The answers are: It does not allow listeners to interpret each character through his or her tone; and it does not allow listeners to review or reread what each character has said.

When hearing the characters voices out loud, and in the hypothetical case that it is a live audition and not a recording, one, as part of the audience, does not have, evidently, the possibility of reviewing or rereading what each character says. This may seem vane, but in reality, it can be very important when reading since sometimes the sense of what´s being read is so profound that, in order to capture in full, one needs to review a certain passage.

Also, hearing the characters has the disadvantage of making their voices concrete and specific according to whoever is speaking. This leaves out the possibility of filling the character´s voice with one´s own imagination, wit, and fantasy, which usually are very important characteristics of a fictional character (literature, in the end, is always a very subjective activity on the side of the reader).

Review Friar Laurence’s soliloquy in Act II, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet.

mylen [45]

Answer:

Second Option: Friar Laurence contrasts the good and bad uses of herbs.

Fourth Option: Friar Laurence explains to the audience his use for herbs.

Explanation:

"Romeo and Juliet" is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616).

Friar Laurence's Soliloquy takes place in scene iii of act ii. Romeo after meeting Juliet in later parts of the night visits friar early in the morning. Before Romeo reaches there Friar Laurence is busy collecting some medicinal and poisonous herbs. He is also talking to himself (soliloquy). Soliloquy ends when Romeo reaches, bids Friar good morning and asks for his help in marrying Juliet.

In the soliloquy, Friar first mentions weeds which may either be medicinal or poisonous depending on their use. Some medicines smell very nice, but may be poisonous when eaten. The same flower may be good if used one way, and poisonous if used in another way. Friar Laurence is actually foreshadowing the impacts and Romeo and Juliet's love, which may prove deadly for them, but will bring peace to the families who have been fighting seemingly for ever.

Friar Laurence does not directly mention that he will use these herbs, however there are some references to this fact e.g.

"I must upfill this osier cage of ours

With baleful weeds and precious-juicèd flowers"

However he directly mentions good and bad uses of herbs in lines,

"For naught so vile that on the earth doth live

But to the earth some special good doth give.

Nor aught so good but, strained from that fair use

Revolts from true birth, stumbling on abuse.

Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied,

And vice sometime by action dignified."

First and fifth options are not correct because there is no mention of cooking the herbs, or his role as friar.

Third option is incorrect because it is a soliloquy, and it occurs before Romeo reaches there.
