Question

3. Which of the following quotes from Act III, Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet, illustrates Shakespeare's use of comic relief?
A) Lady Capulet: Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn/The gallant, young, and noble gentleman,/The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church,/Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride.
B) Capulet: Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!/I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday,/ Or never after look me in the face./Speak not. Reply not. Do not answer me.

Answer 1

C) Juliet: Is there no pity sitting in the clouds/That sees into the bottom of my grief?---/O sweet my mother, cast me not away!/Delay this marriage for a month, a week.
D) Nurse: I think it best you married with the county./ O, he's a lovely gentleman!/ Romeo's a dishclout to him: an eagle, madam,/Hath not so green, so quick, so fair an eye/As Paris hath. (correct)

Answer 4

D
For comic relief, you might look at the Act 4, Scene 5, the scene in which Peter self-importantly gives orders to the other servants. This scene contrasts with the high drama and tension of the previous scene when the nurse and Juliet's parents find Juliet supposedly dead on the morning she is to marry Paris. The revenge motive is quite prominent in Act 3 when Romeo kills Tybalt to avenge the death of his friend Mercutio.
