Select the correct text in the passage. Which two lines in this excerpt from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of FRIAR LAURENGE: So smile the heavens upon this holy act, That after hours with sorrow chide us not! ROMEO: Amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, It cannot countervall the exchange of joy That one short minute gives me in her sight: Do thou but close our hands with holy words. Then love-devouring death do what he dare: It is enough I may but call her mine. FRIAR LAURENCE: These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, Which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness And in the taste confounds the appetite: Therefore love moderately: long love doth so: Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

Answer 1

The two lines that foreshadow the tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet are:1. **"These violent delights have violent ends"** - This line directly foreshadows the destructive nature of Romeo and Juliet's passionate, hasty love. The Friar is warning them that such intense emotions can lead to a disastrous outcome.2. **"And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,/Which as they kiss consume"** - This simile emphasizes the destructive potential of their love. Just as fire and gunpowder explode when they meet, Romeo and Juliet's love will ultimately consume them both.
