Question 8 • GA-Literature and Composition I
Romeo says that his love for Tybalt gives him reason to excuse Tybalt’s insulting greeting, and he insists, “villain am I none.” This shows Romeo is trying to avoid hostility, which supports the inference that he hopes for peace between their families. Choice C instead shows him turning toward anger and revenge after Mercutio’s death.
