What does Juliet think about marriage? 2015-02-12 ~ duane
Juliet’s thoughts on marriage change during the play, so the answer to the question depends on whether we look in Act 1 Scene 3 or Act 2 Scene 2. Juliet is first mentioned when Paris comes asking her father for Juliet’s hand in marriage. Her father tells Paris that her opinion counts, and that he will not force her to marry someone she does not love: Capulet. But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart,
My will to her consent is but a part; An she agree, within her scope of choice
Lies my consent and fair according voice. We next see Juliet with her mother, who is working her from a different angle: Lady Capulet.
