Read the excerpt from Act V, scene iii 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 best help the reader understand the tone of the play’s conclusion? Choose three correct answers.
The words “woe,” “sorrow,” and “sad” directly express grief, helping establish the mournful tone of the play’s conclusion. “Morning” identifies the time of day, and “pardon’d” refers to forgiveness, so neither conveys the sorrowful tone as clearly.
