What central idea does juliet express in this passage from act iv of shakespeare's romeo and juliet? a) juliet believes that friar laurence may try to kill her. b) juliet is willing to defy her family and risk her life to be with romeo. c) juliet believes that she and romeo can only be together in death. d) juliet resents her family because they have separated her from romeo. e) juliet is frightened of the disgusting and terrifying sights that she will see in the vault.

All of these answers are ridiculous, except, of course, for the right answer, which is B. We all know that Juliet was not a submissive daughter, so of course she would defy her family. If she had believed that the friar was going to kill her, she would have never gone to him and asked for his help in the first place. She is also not at all worried about what she will see in the vault. Though she is unhappy about the fact that her parents don't want her to marry Romeo, her main concern in ACT IV is to find a way to be with Romeo.
