Question
In this excerpt from act V of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Romeo encounters Paris when he enters Julietās grave. Paris challenges him to a duel, but Romeo pleads to be left alone before he is forced to fight. What does this excerpt reveal about Romeoās character? ROMEO: I must indeed; and therefore came I hither.
Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man;
Fly hence, and leave me: think upon these gone;
Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth,
Put not another sin upon my head,
By urging me to fury: O, be gone!
By heaven, I love thee better than myself;
For I come hither arm'd against myself:
Stay not, be gone; live, and hereafter say,
A madman's mercy bade thee run away.
Solution 1
This reveals the disgust Romeo has for himself for being alive and causing Juliet's death. He knows that if he hadn't been banished by killing Tybalt, Juliet still might be alive. He hates himself and tells Paris to run away because he's a better person than Romeo considers himself to be.Ā

Question
Lobsters are invertebrates with a hard protective exoskeleton. Like most arthropods, lobsters must molt in order to grow, which leaves them vulnerable. During the molting process, several species change color. Lobsters have 10 walking legs; the front three pairs bear claws, the first of which are larger than the others. Although, like most other arthropods, lobsters are largely bilaterally symmetrical, some possess unequal, specialized claws. Lobsters, like snails and spiders, have blue blood due to the presence of haemocyanin which contains copper. Maybe there are other animals that have blue blood as well. (Adapted from Wikipedia)
