Question

Tybalt tells Lord Capulet, “I will withdraw; but this intrusion shall, / Now seeming sweet, convert to bitter gall.” Given what we readers know about the play up to this point, which literary device is best reflected in Tybalt’s remarks?
A. Dramatic irony
B. Foreshadowing
C. Hyperbole
D. Simile
E. Static character

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

For the time being, Tybalt has decided to obey his uncle, but Romeo's intrusion which seems like a good thing to Juliet at this point will become a bad taste in her mouth if Tybalt has anything to do with it.

The consequences of Romeo's choice to go to the party are ultimately life-ending for both characters.  Romeo's appearance fuels Tybalt's hate of him and his friends and leads to the bitter fight in Act 3, during which Tybalt is killed. His death, of course, forces Romeo's banishment which then results in his and Juliet's poor decisions at the play's end.
