"Juliet: If that thy bent of love be honourable, thy purpose marriage, send me word."
The first character to mention the idea of marriage in "Romeo and Juliet" is Lady Capulet, who discusses the prospect of Juliet marrying Paris with her daughter.
Juliet does. "If thy bent of love be honourable, thy purpose marriage . . ."
Juliet initially agrees to consider her mother's idea of marriage, but ultimately falls in love with Romeo and chooses to defy her parents' wishes by marrying him in secret.
It was both Romeo's and Juliet's idea to marry eachother.
Juliet says this line in Act 1, Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet. She is speaking to her mother about the idea of marriage and expresses her willingness to try to like whoever her parents choose for her to marry.
Generally, in those days, it was the male who was more 'important' as it were, and so you'd think it was most likely Romeo. But it wasn't. It is Juliet who introduces the idea of marriage. "If thy bent of love be honourable, thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow by one that I'll procure to come to me." This is an example of how the idea that in Shakespeare's day "the male was more important as it were" is seriously flawed. It is a projection of the attitudes of a later time on the past.
Juliet says she hadn't thought much about marriage."It is an honour that I dream not of." She is open to the idea though."I'll look to love if looking liking move."
Excellent idea, specially if i play romeo and one gorgeous woman takes a Juliet's place!
Bigamy is being married to two people at once. Juliet's nurse betrays her by suggesting that she marry Paris after Romeo is banished.
No, Lord Montague had no idea that Romeo was interested in Juliet until after Romeo's death.
I have no idea but is a great book.
Romeo wants to marry Juliet. Lord Capulet thinks it's a bad idea because he believes Juliet is too young and that the marriage might be rushed. He also prefers Paris as a suitable match for his daughter.
