Question 1 Report

A Midsummer Night's Read the extract below and answer questions 31 to 35.

X: You do impeach your modesty too much,

To leave the city and commit yourself

Into the hands of one that loves you not;

To trust the opportunity of night

And the ill counsel of a desert place

Y: With the rich worth of your virginity.

Your virtue is my privilege: for that

it is not night when I do see your face,

Therefore I think I am not in the night;


Speaker Y is

Answer Details
Speaker Y is Helena. In the extract, Speaker X is cautioning someone against leaving the city and trusting someone who doesn't love them. In response, Speaker Y reassures the other person that their virtue is valuable and that they themselves do not feel like they are in the darkness of the night when they see the other person's face. This dialogue suggests that Speaker Y is deeply in love with the other person, and willing to defend them against any perceived attacks on their reputation or honor. The other options (Titania, Pease blossom, Hippolyta) are not supported by the context of the extract.
