Juliet 's original answer is "It is an honour that I dream not of." By this, she may mean either of two things. One, that she doesn't want to get married. While this may be the case, it's unlikely that she would say this so directly to her mother. So, the more likely interpretation is that she hasn't thought about it. The Nurse is excited by Juliet's response, but Lady Capulet has other motives. She's pushing Juliet to consider the concept. She continues: Well, think of marriage now. Younger than you,
Here in Verona, ladies of esteem,
Are made already mothers.
