Question

read the excerpts from ovids pyramus and thisbe and shakespeares romeo and juliet. \pyramus and thisbe\ they had no confidant—and so used signs: with these each lover read the others mind: when covered, fire acquires still more force. romeo and juliet romeo: . . . it is enough i may but call her mine. friar lawrence: 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. which statement best describes the difference between these excerpts? only ovid suggests that romantic relationships encounter obstacles or objections. only ovid shows his male character searching for a more suitable companion. only shakespeare reveals a characters doubts about his beloved. only shakespeare shows a character warning against a doomed relationship.

Explanation:

En los extractos, Friar Lawrence en Romeo y Julieta advierte sobre el destino fatal de los "dichos violentos" (los amores apasionados), lo cual no se ve en "Píramo y Tisbe". Mientras que Ovid muestra una relación amorosa con sus desafíos, no hay una advertencia similar a la de Shakespeare sobre el peligro de una relación fatigante.

Answer:

D. Only Shakespeare shows a character warning against a doomed relationship.
