Read the excerpt from act i, scene i of romeo and juliet. montague: many a morning hath he there been seen, with tears augmenting the fresh morning’s dew, adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs: but all so soon as the all-cheering sun should in the furthest east begin to draw 120 the shady curtains from aurora’s bed, away from light steals home my heavy son, and private in his chamber pens himself, shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, and makes himself an artificial night. 125 black and portentous must this humour prove unless good counsel may the cause remove. what inference can be made about montague from this dialogue?

Explanation:

What can be made from the dialogue is that Montague is becoming worried of Romeo's behavior. He believes his son is becoming depressed and wants to find a way to rid him of the sadness he feels so he will no longer lock himself up in his room.

"Romeo’s reaction to light seems to illustrate his desire to be alone in his misery and his reluctance to be comforted."

Explanation:

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
