How is Paris from romeo and juliete related to paris from greek mythology?

Answer 1

He is a very conventional and unimaginative man. His conventional attitude makes him approach the father when seeking to marry a girl. His lack of imagination impedes him when, never having talked to Juliet, he thinks she must be as happy about the marriage as he is. His mission to put flowers on Juliet's tomb is also conventional and his attitude in finding Romeo at the tomb is as well--Romeo is a Montague, so he must be at the Capulet tomb to cause trouble. Both Romeo and Juliet try to engage him in conversation but he doesn't listen to either of them--he is happy to rely on his assumptions and prejudices.

Answer 2

Paris from "Romeo and Juliet" is a nobleman who seeks to marry Juliet, while Paris from Greek mythology is a prince of Troy who abducted Helen, sparking the Trojan War. The only connection is in their names; they are not directly related characters in literature.

Answer 3

There's no relation, they just happen to have the same name.

Answer 4

They are metaphors. What a silly question. Metaphors are what they are.

Answer 5

I think he says Juliet is the sun. Hope this helps you
