By suggesting that fate had no role in the tragedy at all

By claiming it was all the fault of Mercutio’s early death

By having Lady Capulet blame the Prince entirely

What does the story suggest about Lady Capulet’s feelings for Juliet?

She cared deeply but was trapped by the expectations of her role.

She never truly loved her daughter.

She was glad to see Juliet marry Paris.

To prove that Paris was the better match

To retell the story in a completely comedic light

What message does the story ultimately convey about love and duty?

That duty can overshadow even the deepest personal losses

That love always triumphs over responsibility

That romantic love solves all problems

That ignoring duty leads to success
