Read the excerpt from act i, scene i of romeo and juliet.

montague: many a morning hath he there been seen,
with tears augmenting the fresh morning’s dew,
adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs:
but all so soon as the all-cheering sun
should in the furthest east begin to draw 120
the shady curtains from aurora’s bed,
away from light steals home my heavy son,
and private in his chamber pens himself,
shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out,

and makes himself an artificial night. 125
black and portentous must this humour prove
unless good counsel may the cause remove.
in this excerpt, romeo’s reaction to light illustrates his

tiring work schedule.
budding romance.
gloomy mood.
religious faith.
