Question 4 • NC-English Language Arts 9 CR

How does Paris act as an antagonist?

Answer
A
He upsets Capulet by wanting to marry Juliet.
B
He helps Juliet by taking her mind off her sorrow.
C
He creates a problem by wanting to marry Juliet.
D
He defends Juliet against Friar Laurence’s insults.

Explanation

An antagonist is a character who creates conflict or obstacles for the main character. Paris’s desire to marry Juliet creates a problem because Juliet does not want to marry him and is already committed to Romeo. So the choice that best describes his role is “He creates a problem by wanting to marry Juliet.”
