Read the excerpt from romeo and juliet, act i, scene v. romeo: o! then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; they pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. juliet: saints do not move, though grant for prayers’ sake. romeo: then move not, while my prayers’ effect i take. thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purg’d. [kissing her.] juliet: then have my lips the sin that they have took. romeo: sin from my lips? o trespass sweetly urg’d!
give me my sin again.

this is an example of dramatic irony because
a) the audience is relieved that romeo has found a suitable partner.
b) the audience is eager to discover rosaline’s opinion of the couple.
c) romeo and juliet are shy characters who usually avoid social events.
d) romeo and juliet have yet to discover that they are from feuding families.

Letter A.

Explanation:

What we can conclude from the excerpt given: First, that Romeo shows Juliet his intetion to kiss her, and she accepts.

'...while my prayers’ effect I take. Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purg’d.'

His 'sin' being to have asked the 'Saint to grant him Juliet's kiss.' - to which she replies 'Saints do not move, though grant for prayers’ sake.' meaning that no saint can grant him her kiss for him (he must take it himself). Then he purges his sin from his lips by hers. (kisses her).

After kissing, she jests that her lips now have his sin, to which he replies that he wants his sin back (demands a new kiss) - This reveals that they have found in each other a suitable partner.

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.
