Read the excerpt from Act III, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence: Hence from Verona art thou banished. Be patient, for the world is broad and wide. 20 Romeo: There is no world without Verona walls, But purgatory, torture, hell itself. Hence banished is banish’d from the world, And world’s exile is death; then ‘banished,’ Is death mis-term’d. Calling death ‘banished,’ 25 Thou cutt’st my head off with a golden axe, 40 And smil’st upon the stroke that murders me.
Which statement best describes Romeo’s reaction to the news that he will be banished from Verona?
1. He shares his fear of a violent death.
2. He confesses his regret for his crime.
3. He expresses outrage about life without Juliet.
4. He voices gratitude for the merciful sentence.

The correct option is 3. He expresses outrage about life without Juliet.

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet", Romeo has fallen in love with Juliet, but their love is forbidden by the fatal grudge between their families. Still, their feelings for each other are so strong that being forced to be apart seems like death to them. That is precisely the feeling Romeo is expressing in the passage we are analyzing here. After killing Tybalt, Romeo is punished by being exiled from the city of Verona. That means he and Juliet cannot see each other anymore. To Romeo, that is death. He is angry for having to leave, angry to be away from his beloved Juliet.
