Question

in shakespeares romeo and juliet, capulet is an antagonist because he
enjoys hosting social events for his friends
offers wise counsel to his nephew tybalt.
makes choices for juliet without her consent
offers his permission for juliet to marry romeo

Explanation:

To determine why Capulet is an antagonist in Romeo and Juliet, we analyze each option:

• "enjoys hosting social events..." describes a social trait, not antagonistic behavior.
• "offers wise counsel..." shows positive guidance, not antagonism.
• "makes choices for Juliet without her consent" (like arranging her marriage to Paris) conflicts with Juliet's desires (to marry Romeo), creating opposition—this fits an antagonist's role.
• "offers permission for Juliet to marry Romeo" is incorrect, as Capulet opposes their relationship.

Answer:

C. makes choices for Juliet without her consent
