According to this excerpt, what is causing Montague's

concerns about Romeo?

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

Romeo has been crying and shutting himself away in his

darkened room

Romeo has been causing many fights in the streets of

Verona

Romeo has been keeping many secrets from his mother

and father

Romeo has been avoiding his friends and family

members

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.

Daniel Mckenzie · Answer 1

Romeo has been crying and shutting himself away in his darkened room

Explanation:

In the excerpt from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Lord Montague is very concerned about Romeo, since he has been seen grieving in his room. He even asks Benvolio whether he has seen him. Romeo's cousin mentions that he has seen him crying in the woods and avoiding him and his friends. However, none of them know the reason of Romeo's melancholy.
