Themes and Resolution in Romeo and Juliet, Part 8

Question 1 • GA-Literature and Composition I

What tragic element is shown in the dialogue between Romeo and Balthasar?

Answer
A
a secret
B
a misunderstanding
C
a plague
D
a banishment

Explanation

The dialogue shows a misunderstanding that drives the tragedy: Balthasar tells Romeo that Juliet has been found dead, but she is only sleeping under the effects of the potion. Romeo believes the report and acts without knowing the truth. The tragic element is therefore a misunderstanding, not a plague or banishment.
