Answer:
a. Both works show a marriage denied; only Shakespeare offers background.
Explanation:
Ovid's " Pyramus and Thisbe" and William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" both tells the story of two star crossed lovers who had to have a fatal ending due to their complicated love stories. While both stories seem to have the exact same play and theme and tone, one thing that is evidently missing from the excerpts provided in the question is that while Shakespeare provides the background of the story, telling the history of the families of two characters Romeo and Juliet, Ovid's excerpt ,misses this detail. Both shows a marriage denied, only Shakespeare offers the background for why the union was refused.
The answer is A. Notice the words "stiff, red hands" and "canvas mittens". That shows that things were pretty tough for them.
Hello. You did not inform the play to which this question is referring, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
The stage directions allow you to make inferences about the characters because they show how a character should act and what emotion he must pass in his movements and lines. This is because it is the stage directions that inform if the character is nervous, kind, evasive, violent, among other things. In this case, to infer something about Christopher and Lizzie, you must analyze what kind of emotion the stage directions display about them.
