In Romeo and Juliet who rejected Juliet when she needed them most?

Her mother, particularly. The Nurse didn't exactly reject her, but her advice as to how to solve Juliet's problem was so unsatisfactory that Juliet treated it as a rejection. It was the kind of advice that showed that the Nurse did not understand Juliet at all.


Did Juliet in Romeo and Juliet have any education?

She would most likely have a good education because her family is prestigious. If her parents would get a kinsman of the prince to marry her, surely they would give her the very best education.


What is the nurses advice romeo and Juliet?

The nurse gives lots of advice, most of it unwanted. Indeed, that is what she does most of the time. However, the piece of advice you are probably looking for is her advice to Juliet when she is faced with being forced to marry Paris when she is already married to Romeo. The nurse advises her to commit bigamy and marry Paris as well, and to treat the Romeo episode as a roll in the hay.


Why does Lord Capulet become so enrage with Juliet?

Capulet promised Paris that he could marry Juliet without consulting her first. When she is told about the marriage, she refuses (she is already married to Romeo, but she doesn't tell them that). Capulet is furious because for no apparent reason she is turning the aristocratic Paris down as a potential husband and putting Capulet in the humiliating position of going to Paris and admitting that he made a promise he cannot keep. Basically his pride is hurt. And the worst of it is that he brought it on himself by not consulting Juliet in the first place. Like most people, he is most angry when he is most in the wrong.


Did Paris court Juliet?

In a manner of speaking. He talked mostly to her father, and assumed that because the father said he could marry her, that she would go along with it. But Paris did not talk to Juliet in anything other than the most superficial way, and he had no idea what was going on with her. It is unlikely that she gave him any sign of encouragement, but he was too dim to recognize this.

Why does Juliet's father ask Paris to wait to marry Juliet?

It's rather uncharacteristic of him actually. Capulet, in his interview with Paris just the day before, has said that Juliet, at 13, is too young to marry, and he thinks they should wait until she is 16. He says that if Paris is able to get Juliet to love him at the party, he might reconsider. All in all, he's pretty cold to Paris's suit. We have no reason to believe that Paris was given any encouragement by Juliet who spent most of the party looking at Romeo. He's still looking to woo her, complaining, "These times of woe afford no time to woo." Then out of the blue Capulet says, "Sir Paris I will make a desperate tender of my child's love." Why? Why is he desperate? This is where directors have to make things up to explain.


Why doesn't Juliet tell Nurse about her plan to escape the wedding?

The nurse has told Juliet that she should just shut up and marry Paris. Juliet knows that if she confides her plan to feign death to the nurse, the nurse will likely tell her mother. Shakespeare shows us the moment when Juliet realises she can no longer trust her nurse, at the end of 3.5. Juliet asks the nurse if she really means that it is better to forget Romeo and marry Paris. The nurse answers: 'Yes, or may I burn in Hell' [the actual words are:'And from my soul too, Or else beshrew them both'] Juliet answers 'Amen' ['I hope you do']. A good director - like Franco Zeffirelli can make this one of the most chilling moments in the play. .

How do you think Paris feels about Juliet?

In my opinion I think that Paris doesn't even like Juliet at first because she's just a girl that his parents wants him to marry but most likely when he gets the time to meet her and get to know her more, 99% that he will fall deeply in love with her.
