What suit does Paris before Lord Capulet?
Suit here means a request, like a lawsuit, not a set of matching clothes. Paris of course is asking Capulet to marry Juliet. Capulet is at first doubtful but later turns 180 degrees and forces the marriage on Juliet.
What effect might capulets change of plans have on the friars arrangments?
Friar Lawrence had a schedule set up whereby Juliet would take the potion Wednesday night and wake up 42 hours later for Romeo to come and get her, sometime Friday night. Presumably he sent Friar John with that message. But when Capulet set the wedding for Wednesday morning, Juliet had to take the potion on Tuesday night, a day earlier. So it didn't matter that Friar John's message did not get through because Romeo would have come a day too late anyway. However, for some reason, the friar does not seem to be worried that Romeo is not going to be warned to come Thursday to get Juliet.
What happened in act 3 scene 4 of romeo and Juliet?
Act 3 scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet is set in Juliet's room. Romeo is leaving for his exile and Juliet is upset over the separation. Lady Capulet then comes into Juliet's room and informs her that she will be marrying Paris. The conflict is that Juliet's parents are forcing her to marry Paris and she is already married to Romeo.

It was moved forward a day (from Thursday morning to Wednesday morning). This meant that the Friar had to rely on a letter to tell Romeo of Juliet's fake death.

What is Capulet reaction Juliet refusal to marry Paris?
He kind of goes ballistic. He is Outraged and offended that Juliet would refuse the offer when he considers her to be fortunate for this opportunity. He raves about her ungratefulness and tells her if she doesn't marry Paris, he will disown Juliet and have nothing more to do with her. He was furious with her and said If she wasn't at the church to marry Paris on the day he set the marriage, then she will never be able to see her parents faces again.
Why was Juliet set to marry Paris?
He was a nobleman, a close relative to the Prince. The Capulets were rich but did not have social standing. A wedding between Juliet and Paris would be one of those matches between an aspiring wealthy middle class family and an impoverished aristocratic one, which is why Capulet was so strongly in favour of it.

How does Juliet react when her father wnats her to marry Paris?
In Act 1 Scene 2, he says that Juliet should not be married until she is sixteen. "Let two more summers wither in their pride ere we may think her ripe to be a bride." But by Act 3 Scene 4, he can barely wait a day. On finding out that it is Monday night, he says "Well, Wednesday is too soon. A Thursday let it be--a Thursday, tell her, she shall be married to this noble earl. Will you be ready? Do you like this haste?" By Act IV Scene II he cannot even wait until Thursday: "I'll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning" He doesn't even have time to invite guests to the wedding.There is also this change. In 1,2 Capulet says, "Woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart. My will to her consent is but a part." It is important to him that Juliet should approve of her husband. But by 3,4 he says "I think she will be ruled in all respects by me--nay, more, I doubt it not." He no longer bothers to ask Juliet whether she approves of Paris as a husband, and when she doesn't, he gets furiously angry and violent.It is really difficult to know what causes this change in attitude in Capulet. For some reason, he gets the impression that Paris is impatient to get on with the marriage, a marriage which Capulet wants because it will bring social status and prestige to the family. (Paris is a "County", a close relative of the Prince, and Capulet, though he has "the chinks", is just plain Capulet, not "Lord Capulet" as he is frequently erroneously called.) Paris himself does not express this impatience. But Scene 3,4 starts off with a conversation between Capulet and Paris in which Capulet apologises for "not having time to move our daughter", and then says, "'Tis very late; she'll not come down tonight. I promise you, but for your company, I would have been abed an hour ago." This passage suggests that Paris came early in the evening, hoping to have some conversation with Juliet, and he has been sitting there with Capulet for hours, all evening and well into the night, and Juliet is a no-show. Paris's response is polite, but the actor playing Paris could deliver it so that it is just barely polite, barely concealing Paris's anger and frustration. This would give Capulet the incentive to try to avoid offending this important nobleman and avoid losing him as a potential son-in-law, so, in a panic, he impulsively promises that Juliet will consent to an early marriage. Paris accepts this with such eagerness that Capulet cannot now welch on his promise.
