Why is Juliet upset with the nurse in act III scene 5 and 6?

Juliet is angry with the Nurse at the end of scene 5 in Act 3 because the Nurse thinks she should just marry Paris after Juliet asks the Nurse for advice (even if Juliet doesnt love Paris). Also because Romeo can never come and see her n she can never go and see him. The Nurse thinks Paris is a good guy for Juliet instead of Romeo.


How does Juliet react to the nurse's advice to marry Paris?

He doesn't, because his mind is on other things. It is only afterward, after he has killed Paris, that he recalls having heard that he was going to marry Juliet. "What said my man when my betossed soul Did not attend him as we rode? I think He told me Paris should have married Juliet. Said he not so? Or did I dream it so?"


What is ironic about Capulets praise of Friar Laurence in act 4 scene 2?

What impulsive dicision does Lord Capulet make to help Juliet overcome her grief for Tybalt's?

Remember folks. When you ask a question, be as precise and accurate as possible. This question, from Shakespeare's ROMEO & JULIET (apparently) is difficult to comprehend. Decision concerning what? Also, the location of "act scene iv" remains vague. Do you mean Act IV scene 4? I can only surmise, but I suspect that this question is asking "What decision concerning Juliet does Lord Capulet make in Act IV scene 4?" It is in this scene that Lord Capulet decides to arrange a marriage for his daughter with Paris. Recall that earlier in the play Capulet told Paris to wait at least "two more summers" before Juliet would be "ripe to be a bride." But in this scene of Act IV we see the change of mind. It's a feature of ROMEO & JULIET that every major character makes a spontaneous "change of mind" or "moment of decision" that seems unaccountable for any logical reason. This is that moment for Lord Capulet. He expects that Juliet will be "ruled" by him (that is, will appreciate what he does). But, boy! is he wrong! Note that Capulet sets the wedding up for Thursday (in this play which begins on a Sunday morning). Later on he will actually rush the wedding ahead one day, to Wednesday. But at the end of IV,4 the wedding is arranged for Thursday of that mid July week. Hope this helps. --CLV
