Read Capulet’s speech from Act IV, scene 2 , as he plans for the wedding:

Tush , I will stir about ,
And all things shall be well , I warrant thee , wife:
Go thou to Juliet , help to deck up her;
I’ll not to bed to- night ; let me alone;
I’ll play the housewife for this once.— what ,Ho!
- - They are all fourth : well I will walk myself
To county Paris , to prepare him up
Against to-morrow:my heart is wondrous light
Since this same wayward gird is so reclaim’d

How does this example of dramatic irony create tension?

A. readers know that Juliet will obey her father’s wishes

B. readers know that Juliet has no plans to marry paris

C. readers know that capulet looks forward to his daughter’s marriage to paris

D. readers know that capulet plans to continue the capulet Montague feud

I think D

I don't agree.

Yes, C.

I'm sorry, but your answer is incorrect. The correct answer is B. Readers know that Juliet has no plans to marry Paris. This creates tension because Capulet assumes that Juliet will obey his wishes and marry Paris, but the readers are aware of Juliet's secret plan to fake her own death in order to avoid the marriage. Their knowledge of this creates suspense and anticipation for how Capulet will react when he discovers Juliet's true intentions.

Actually, the correct answer is B. Readers know that Juliet has no plans to marry Paris.

Dramatic irony occurs when the audience is aware of something that the characters on stage are not. In this speech, Capulet expresses his excitement for the upcoming wedding and his belief that everything will be well. However, the audience knows that Juliet is actually planning to fake her own death to avoid marrying Paris. This creates tension because the audience is aware of the impending conflict between Capulet's expectation and Juliet's secret plan.
