In act 1 of Romeo and Juliet what was Juliet's response to her mother's plans about Paris?
There were two marriages planned for Juliet: one by Romeo and another by her father. In Act 2 she hears from the Nurse the plans Romeo has made for them to be married and she is ecstatic. When she hears later that her father has planned to marry her to Paris, she is horrified and has to refuse, although she tries to grovel and be as humble as possible while doing it. This doesn't fool her father a bit; he knows disobedience when he sees it.
How does Juliet respond to Paris' complements in act 4?
Evasively. She is trying to be polite but does not want to admit that she will marry Paris, since she has no intention of doing so.
What is Paris doing at the churchyard?
Paris thinks something is up and is waiting for someone to go to juliets tomb
What is Paris doing at friar lawrence's cell?
He is making arrangements for his wedding to Juliet, just as Romeo did in Act 2.
Why did Juliet react the way she did to her parent's decision to marry Paris?
Juliet acted the way she did because she was in love with and was married to Romeo. So she acted the way she did to remain a faithful wife towards Romeo, and by doing this it shows that Juliet did not want to marry Paris nor sine. During the Romeo and Juliet, the church played an important role in the social aspect of life. So, by sinning by marrying Paris when she's already married to Paris will not only means she sin and possible discloser towards heavens but also maybe towards the social culture in general.
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 does Paris say try to justify marrying Juliet at such a young age?
He says that girls that young are often married. This is typical Paris. His perspective on how life should be lived is entirely based on what he sees others doing.
What event are Paris and Juliet discussing at the beginning of Act IV and how do their feelings about the event differ?
They are talking about their impending marriage. Paris is looking forward to it in a vague sort of way, as the sort of thing a guy like him ought to be doing at his stage in life, and Juliet is horrified by the prospect, as it would be contrary to the laws of God and man.
Why doesn't the nurse tell Juliet of the arrangements right away?
The nurse delays telling Juliet about the arrangements for her marriage to Paris because she is torn between her loyalty to Juliet and her duty to the Capulet family. She may also be trying to protect Juliet from the distressing news or looking for a way to soften the blow before revealing it.
Does the nurse know who Romeo is?
Yes. She saw them together at the party. She also caught them doing the nasty. The nurse gives Juliet advice about what she should do and she tells her to forget Romeo and marry Paris.
