Why does Shakespeare include this comic speech by Mercutio?

to mock the reasons for quarrels and feuds
to illustrate the close friendship between the men

Answers

Answer 1

#Answer:-

Shakespeare in the play Romeo and Juliet, includes this comic speech by Mercutio in order to illustrate the close friendship between the men.

Mercutio accuses his fellow Montague Benvolio of not picking up fights and being hypocrite suggesting pair to go inside to avoid the fight. Mercutio is neither totally Montagues nor Capulet. Due to his close friendship with Benvolio and Romeo, he is considered to be Montagues and he is the cousin of the prince. To not let Benvolio deter him, in this scene he picks up the fight with the Capulets. Through his tone of quarrel, it is clear that his attitude is none-too-serious, taking it as a joke. His fight in the above passage is clearly ridiculous and non-sensical. Through this, mirrors the fight between Capulets and Montagues is equally baseless and unnecessary. Here, they fight because they have fought and they are 'quarrelsome' like Benvolio.

Answer 2

To illustrate the close friendship between the men is the Shakespeare include this comic speech by Mercutio. Hence, option D is correct.

What is the concept of the excerpt?

Benvolio, a fellow Montague, is accused by Mercutio of not picking fights and acting hypocritically by advising the two parties to leave the area to avoid the altercation. Mercutio is not entirely Capulet or the Montagues.

He is regarded as a Montague and is the prince's cousin because of his strong connection with Romeo and Benvolio. He picks up the fight with the Capulets in this scene, determined to not let Benvolio intimidate him. It is obvious from his tone of argument that he doesn't take it too seriously and considers it to be a joke.

In the excerpt above, his fight is obviously absurd and senseless. This reflects how pointless and senseless the conflict between the Capulets and Montagues is.

Thus, option D is correct.

ILL GIVE BRANLIEST Fyodor sat waiting in the car for his friend Herman to come back.
Bleck. The peanuts he had just eaten tasted like they were a hundred
years old. He looked around for a place to spit them out and all he
found was a mostly empty cup of coffee. He lifted the lid, spewed the
half-chewed peanut mush into the cup, and then closed the lid. He still
couldn't get the bad taste out of his mouth, so he got out of the car to
go find a water fountain.
Meanwhile, Herman came back, wondering where Fyodor had gone off
to. He sat down in the front seat and picked up his cup. After the
meeting he'd had, he was really looking forward to drinking the
comforting last swigs of his morning coffee.
How does the use of point of view create suspense in the passage?
O A. The third-person limited point of view means that the reader feels
sympathy for Herman but realizes that Fyodor is not a caring
friend
OB. The third-person omniscient point of view means that readers
know that they are about to watch Herman get a very unpleasant
surprise
OC. The third-person limited point of view means that the audience
knows that Fyodor was eating peanuts but is curious about what
happened during Herman's meeting

doesn't know that Herman will come back, but the audience does
know

At the end of Chapter 3, the narrator states, “Thus it was, grandchildren, that I began my day as Kii Yazhi and ended it as Ned Begay.” What is the significance of this statement?

Answers

Answer:

"Thus it was, grandchildren, that I began my day as Kii Yazhi and ended it as Ned Begay.”

Significance of this statement:

The story of how he ended up with a different name at the end of the day is the meaning of this statement to me. Because the white teacher didn't understand their language and didn't realize that Biye means "son of" in Navajo, there were so many Begays. So he gave him the name Biye, spelled "Begay" as he had heard it. Other white men followed suit. That's why there are so many Begay Navajo families. He was relieved that he didn't have another John for a first name. The white man was tired of writing the name John by the time he got to him. As a result, he was given the same first name as the teacher's uncle, "Ned," who had died.

How should the United States government have behaved in dealing with the disputes
between the Cherokees and the white settlers?

Answers

the government should have enforced the treaties

The demand for fertile land during the Southeast's rapid expansion of cotton agriculture, the finding of gold on Cherokee territory, and racial hatred held by many white southerners toward American Indians were all factors in the removal of the Cherokees.

Who were the Cherokee's enemies?

The Cherokee relocated once more between three and four thousand years ago, this time to the southeast of the modern United States, following clashes with the Iroquois and Delaware tribes (see entries). The Chickasaw tribe had long been their adversary.

The Cherokees were the biggest Native American tribe in North America before European settlers arrived. Due to their largely amicable relations with early European immigrants and their readiness to adopt Anglo-American traditions, they came to be considered one of the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes."
