Question

read the excerpt from act iii, scene iii of romeo and juliet
friar laurence: romeo, come forth, come forth, thou fearful man.
affliction is enamourd of thy parts,
and thou art wedded to calamity.
what is the meaning of the phrase \thou art wedded to calamity\?
○ you have not had enough disaster in your life
○ you often have disaster around you
○ your marriage will be a complete disaster
○ your confusion is the cause of many disasters

Explanation:

The phrase "thou art wedded to calamity" uses a metaphor where being "wedded" to something means having a close, ongoing connection. "Calamity" means disaster. So it implies Romeo has a frequent association with disaster (disaster is often around him). The first option is wrong as it says he hasn't had enough disaster. The third is wrong as it's not about marriage being a disaster (the phrase is about his connection to calamity generally, not just marriage). The fourth is wrong as the phrase doesn't relate to confusion causing disasters.

Answer:

B. You often have disaster around you.
