Why does Shakespeare construct Juliet`s lines so that she never directly lies?

Phantasy [73]2 years ago

I've read Romeo and Juliet many times, and I can't agree with your question as to "Why does Shakespeare construct Juliet's lines so that she never directly lies" There are several times where she led others to believe something other than the truth-- she led her father to believe she was going to the confessional for her rebellion, when she was truly going to marry Romeo.  She also finally acts as though she has succumbed to her father and will marry Paris. 
That being said: I said "led on to believe" which is our day and age is considered lying/dishonesty.  However when Shakespeare wrote this in 1597, things were much different than the are today.  <span></span><span>Why does Shakespeare construct Juliet`s lines so that she never directly lies? A potienal </span><span>answer could be: <span><em>Shakespeare wanted the character of Juliet to remain innocently caught up in between the</em><em> </em><em>fued of </em>the </span></span><em>Montague and </em><span><em>Capulet</em></span><em>.  If she had </em><em>out right</em><em> lied, her fragile, innocent </em><em>perseption</em><em> could be seen more as deception and connivery. </em>

Which sentence most accurately describes a feature of elizabethan drama?
Eddi Din [679]

B. Members of all social classes saw plays.

Elizabethan drama was not during the same time period as tv, radio, or movies. This eliminates options A and D immediately. Option B and C contradict each other. In Elizabethan drama all social classes saw plays. The wealthy people would have seats in balconies. The lower class would stand on the floor right in front of the stage.

Anton [14]

Answer:

B. Those with moderate knowledge of technology

Explanation:

When we're writing a text or preparing a speech, we need to pay attention to whom our audience will consist of. This will allow us to adjust our language and the information we include so that we are well-understood by the audience.

When writing this article, the author probably had in mind those with moderate knowledge of technology. The article describes a very complex concept, which is why it's not aimed at someone who knows nothing about technology. However, the author put it in layman's terms. This is why we can conclude that it is not intended for developers of AI programs or those with deep knowledge of technology. The effects of human behavior are not the topic of the article, which is why those who study it are not the target audience.

This is why option B is the correct one.

Read the two passages from Sugar Changed the World. Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their s
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement.

Explanation:

The author's main idea is the fact that sugar, even though it had caused all the atrocities it had caused, changed people's impressions of slavery.

All this was due to the fact that with the Age of Sugar, slavery became brutal as ever. And people were noticing it. Lemerre Younger was the first one to protest, declaring <em>equal rights for all</em>. And it -

<em>began to spread — toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world</em>.

In the second passage, the authors show how Clarkson and the abolitionists fought their fights. It was all about making things <em>public</em><em>, </em>educating the blind. By helping people understand and see the reality of the slave trade, they started a revolution in people's opinion. One was no longer indifferent after <em>Clarkson's speeches and the testimonials he published</em>. The people rose against the torture.
