The father, because he is the one who had organised the marriage at first between Paris and Juliet, he makes the desicions in the Capulet household and he is the person who moves the date of the wedding one day earlier. He is also forcing Juliet to be married because in one of the scenes Juliet disagrees in marrying Paris and Lord Capulet says that if she were not to marry him he will disown her. So he also threatens her to marry Paris.
The marriage between Juliet and Paris was originally planned to take place on Thursday.
Count Paris, he is a suitor to Juliet.
He wants his daughter to be happy with the marriage agreement.
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."
The only "arranged marriage" that we hear anything about doesn't actually happen. That's the marriage between Paris and Juliet.
Capulet and Paris are discussing Juliet's potential marriage to Paris. Capulet wants Paris to woo Juliet and wait for her to be ready for marriage, while Paris is eager to marry her soon. Ultimately, Capulet agrees to Paris' proposal, setting the stage for the tragic events of the play.
In scene 5 of "Romeo and Juliet," Juliet's family arranges her marriage to Paris without her consent. This alienates Juliet from her family as they disregard her feelings and desires, pushing her to take drastic measures to be with Romeo instead.
She would rather marry Romeo than Paris...
Yes, he agrees to it in Act 3 Scene 4.
No! The family does not know that Romeo and Juliet are getting married. But that is not the only marriage in the play. There is a planned wedding of Juliet to Paris. And that wedding the family does know about.
Romeo and Paris.
She pretends to die.
