Question

read the excerpt from act v, scene iii of romeo and juliet. capulet: as rich shall romeo by his lady lie; poor sacrifices of our enmity! which theme of romeo and juliet is reflected in this excerpt? hatred is born when people give up what they love. hatred is not as powerful a force as love. hatred causes people to lose what they love. hatred cannot be dissolved with forgiveness.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, Capulet refers to Romeo and Juliet as "poor sacrifices of our enmity". This implies that the long - standing hatred (enmity) between the Capulets and Montagues led to the deaths (loss) of Romeo and Juliet, whom they loved. The other options are incorrect. Option 1 is wrong because it's the opposite of what the text implies (hatred causes loss, not that hatred is born from giving up love). Option 2 is not supported as the text focuses on hatred causing loss rather than comparing the power of hatred and love. Option 4 is not relevant as there is no mention of forgiveness in the context of dissolving hatred.

Answer:

Hatred causes people to lose what they love.
