Read the excerpt from Act V of Romeo and Juliet. Prince: A glooming peace this morning with it brings. The sun for sorrow will not show his head. Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished; For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo. Which words from the excerpt best convey a depressed, regretful tone?
A
pardon’d, punished, moreThe words “glooming,” “sorrow,” and “woe” all express sadness and suffering, which create a depressed, regretful tone. “Peace,” “morning,” and “sun” may suggest hope or calm, so they do not convey that tone as strongly.
