Read the excerpt from Act III, scene v of Romeo and Juliet. Lady Capulet: Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn120The gallant, young, and noble gentleman, The County Paris, at Saint Peter’s church, Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride. Juliet: Now, by Saint Peter’s church, and Peter too, He shall not make me there a joyful bride.125I wonder at this haste; that I must wed Ere he that should be husband comes to woo. I pray you, tell my lord and father, madam, I will not marry yet; and, when I do, I swear, It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate,130Rather than Paris.
Answer
A
She embraces traditions.
B
She is delighted and obedient.
C
She is stubborn and willful.
D
She respects authority.
Explanation
Juliet directly refuses the marriage, saying Paris “shall not make me there a joyful bride.” She also says she will not marry yet and insists that if she does marry, it will be Romeo rather than Paris. Her firm refusal shows she is stubborn and willful, not obedient or respectful of her parents’ wishes.
