Trent Shah · Answer 1

"Well, thou has comforted me marvelous much!" I haven't fully read Romeo and Juliet yet as I am in the middle of the book, but it sounds sarcastic to me knowing that Juliet is in love with Romeo and she probably can't get Romeo out of her head.

So my final answer would be D - Sarcasm
