Question 1 Report

Read the extract below and answer questions:

A : Would you'd pardon me
I do not without danger walk these streets;
Once, in a sea-fight against the Count his galleys,
I did some service-of such note, indeed.
That were I ta'en here
It would scarce be answered
B : Be like you slew great number of his people
A : The offence is not of such a bloody nature,
Albeit the quality of the time and quarrel
Might well have given us bloody argument
(Act III Scene III)

They mood of Speaker A, is that of
Answer Details
The mood of Speaker A is that of fear. In the extract, Speaker A expresses concern for his safety and the danger he faces in walking the streets. He mentions that he had once done some service in a sea-fight against the Count, and if he is caught now, it would be difficult to explain his actions. When Speaker B suggests that he might have killed some of the Count's people, Speaker A downplays the severity of the offense, suggesting that the quality of the time and quarrel did not warrant a bloody argument. All of these actions suggest a sense of fear and caution in Speaker A's mood.
