I am debating between C and B. Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

Definitely B.) because one of the main reasons that Shakespeare included Nurse in the play was for comical relief; sometimes you'll notice that she's "humorous" (maybe not to us but that was considered "comical" at the time) and although there was a point at which she encouraged Juliet to marry Count Paris, she never hoped for failure in the marriage between Juliet and Romeo. *^.^* Hope that was helpful c:
