Romeo. by a name i know not how to tell thee who i am: my name, dear saint, is hateful to myself, because it is an enemy to thee. had i it written, i would tear the word. what can be inferred about elizabethan culture from this passage?
select one:
a. a name is just another word.
b. elizabethans viewed names as saintly.
c. elizabethan children are not named.
d. family names played a major role in people's lives.

I'd have to go with D because Romeo and Juliet can't be together because their families hate each other. They are defined by their family names and if they go together one of them would share the family name of the other.

D. Family names played a major role in people’s lives. This can be inferred by Juliet who describes how she would renounce her title in order for her to be together with Romeo. ‘Tear the word’ reject her family name and leave it behind in the face of her desire to have a relation ship with Romeo.

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
