What can readers infer from the following quote from Act V, Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet?

By heaven I love thee better than myself;
For I come hither arm'd against myself
Stay no, be gone; live, and hereafter say,
A madman's mercy bid thee run away

a. Romeo plans to kill Paris
b. Romeo attempts to confuse Paris
c. Romeo tells Paris that he loves Juliet
d. Romeo does not plan to fight with Paris*****

Which of the following quotes spoken by Friar Lawrence shows the strongest example of how he advances the plot over the course of Romeo and Juliet?

a "god pardon sin! wast thou with Rosaline?
b "Hence from Verona art thou banished:/Be patient, for the world is broad and wide
c Ah, Juliet, I already know thy grief;/It strains me past the compass of my wits/I hear thou must and nothing may prorogue it/On Thursday next be married to this county
d Take thou this vial, being then in bed/ And this distilled liquor drink thou off*******

Thank you

It means thanks lol

I agree with both of your answers.

To infer the meaning from the quote from Act V, Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet, readers can analyze Romeo's words. In the quote, Romeo expresses his deep love for someone, saying that he loves that person more than himself. He then tells them to go away and live, but to remember that it was his "madman's mercy" that allowed them to escape. From this, readers can infer that Romeo does not plan to fight with Paris, as he is telling him to run away and live rather than engage in a confrontation.

As for the second question, to determine which quote spoken by Friar Lawrence shows the strongest example of how he advances the plot, we need to consider how the quote impacts the events in the play.

Option "a" doesn't significantly advance the plot; it only asks about Romeo's previous love interest. Option "b" provides advice to Romeo but doesn't significantly influence the plot. Option "c" shows sympathy towards Juliet's situation but doesn't significantly impact the plot progression either.

However, option "d" is the strongest example. In this quote, Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a vial of distilled liquor, instructing her to drink it while in bed. This action plays a vital role in the plot, as it is the potion that causes her to appear dead and leads to tragic consequences. Therefore, option "d" is the answer that shows the strongest example of how Friar Lawrence advances the plot in Romeo and Juliet.

You're welcome!
