Question 47 • **MFISD ENGLISH 1 B 22-23 CR

In Act III, scenes iii and iv of Romeo and Juliet, how does Capulet complicate the central conflict?

Answer
A
by banishing Romeo for killing Juliet’s cousin Tybalt
B
by forcing Paris to marry Juliet against his will
C
by deciding to hasten Juliet’s marriage to Paris
D
by refusing to recognize Romeo and Juliet’s marriage

Explanation

After Tybalt’s death, Capulet decides Juliet should marry Paris sooner than planned, setting the wedding for Thursday. This creates more pressure because Juliet is already secretly married to Romeo and cannot simply obey without exposing the marriage. The correct choice is “by deciding to hasten Juliet’s marriage to Paris.”
