The theme of "Romeo and Juliet" that is reflected in the excerpt from Act V, scene III is:
C. Hatred causes people to lose what they love.
In Act V, scene III of the tragic play "Romeo and Juliet," by William Shakespeare, Capulet says, "As rich shall Romeo by his lady lie; / Poor sacrifices of our enmity!"
<u>Capulet is Juliet's father</u>. His daughter and her husband, Romeo, have both killed themselves because their families would not allow them to be together.
The theme reflected in this excerpt is that hatred causes people to lose what they love. The two families, the Capulets and the Montagues, have lost loved ones because of their hatred for each other.
