Read this excerpt from part two of King Arthur's Socks: A Comedy in One Act.LANCELOT: But this won't do. As long as there was only one of us—GUENEVERE: There's been two all along, Lancelot. I've more self-control than you—that's all. But I broke down tonight. I knew I oughtn't to tell you—now. But I knew I would.Why does the author choose to have Guenevere confess in this way?
Answer
A
to critically reveal the consequences of being unfaithful in marriage
B
to critically reveal the inner struggles faced by many traditional women
C
to humorously illustrate Guenevere’s inability to make a decision
D
to humorously depict Guenevere’s struggle between abandon and control
Explanation
Guenevere says she has had feelings for Lancelot all along but has kept them under control. Tonight, she “broke down” and confessed, even though she knew she should not. This contrast between restraint and giving in creates humor and shows her struggle between abandon and control, rather than simple indecision.
