Read the passage.

excerpt from Act I, Scene 1, in A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare

Theseus

Hippolyta, I wooed thee with my sword,

And won thy love doing thee injuries;

But I will wed thee in another key,

With pomp, with triumph, and with reveling.

What does Theseus mean by "I will wed thee in another key"?

Question 4 options:

We had a rough start since I won you in battle, but I want our wedding to be a happy celebration.

We will have special music at our wedding since I am a duke.

I won the key to the city in battle so you have to marry me.

You've waited for me while I was away at war, but now it's our time to be happy.
