Content: She even goes so far as to say that she is willing to marry Paris. Lord Capulet is ecstatic over her change in heart, and he moves the wedding date to the very next day. This doesn't bother Juliet, because she doesn't plan to be around for the wedding anyway. Approved by eNotes Editorial Team

It's an unexpected twist in the play. Juliet thought she had a whole day (i.e. Wednesday) to get ready for the wedding (today is Tuesday, and the wedding is set for Thursday). But Capulet gives everyone a bit of a shock: CAP: Send for the County. Go tell him of this. I'll have this knot knit up to-morrow morning.
