Like Romeo, Juliet begins to speak in contradictory language by the end of the scene, saying things like, “My only love sprung from my only hate,” and, “My grave is like to be my wedding bed.” What effect does this language have on the audience? A. This language makes the audience grow frustrated with Romeo and Juliet, creating tension.
B. This language suggests that Romeo and Juliet are a perfect match, as they even speak in the same manner, endearing the audience even more to the characters.
C. This language emphasizes the notion that love can inspire intense feelings on both sides of the spectrum -- negative and positive.
