for a second time there was no sign. again no bridegroom and the priest in the house. she could not remember any other sorrow because this grief wiped them all away. oh, no, there's nothing more cruel than this — i'll never forgive it. she stretched herself with a deep breath and blew out the light.

In the excerpt the speaker describes Granny Weatherall being left at the alter as the cruelest thing a person can do. This shows that the main character has refused to let go of her past because she compares all other cruelties to her jilting and still feels that nothing is worse. Blew out the light and no sign could indicate that she has moved on

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.
