Read the excerpt from act i, scene ii of romeo and juliet.

benvolio: at this same ancient feast of capulet’s, 70
sups the fair rosaline, whom thou so lov’st,
with all the admired beauties of verona:
go thither; and, with unattainted eye
compare her face with some that i shall show,
and i will make thee think thy swan a crow.
benvolio is a comic figure in this excerpt because he

a is willing to break rules.
b has limited knowledge of verona.
c makes light of romeo’s heartache.
d makes careless mistakes.

I would argue that the right answer is the C: He makes light of Romeo’s heartache. Romeo is so blindly and desperately in love with Rosaline that he is even willing to accept that his "tears turn to fires" and that his eyes, "transparent heretics," "be burnt for liars," if they have lied to him and made him believe that Rosaline is as beautiful as a swan, when she may be not. Not even the sun, which sees everything, "saw her match since first the world begun," says Romeo. For that reason, Benvolio, whose name suitably means "good-will," is trying to downplay his cousin's strong and almost harmful feelings for Rosaline and alleviate his heartache, and that's why he jokes about her face being closer to that of a crow than to that of a swan.

answer: b. grete might have remained as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the story.

one of the most interesting characteristics of gregor's metamorphosis is that, although he is the only character who has physically changed, it is this same change which triggered a transformation in the rest of his family.

by taking care of gregor, grete has become stronger and more confident. she has found a life outside of the house, and has become more independent and self-sufficient. the novel implies that the trigger for the change is gregor's own transformation, and that without it, grete was likely to remain as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the book.
