Paris, the man Juliet was supposed to marry.
The Nurse says it about Paris.
"My lips, two blushing pilgrims"; "he's a man of wax."
He's a man of wax, a good-looker, a hottie.
Yes it means a man who is too perfect to be real. The Nurse calls Paris a "man of wax" in Romeo and Juliet because she thinks he is handsome. He must have been sculpted, because real people aren't that perfect.
He's a man of wax. That's a good thing, apparently. However, it does seem that the nurse would say this about any suitor for Juliet who was more or less male. After saying that about Paris, she is extremely complimentary about Romeo in Act II Scene 5. Then when it seems convenient to do so, suddenly (in Act III Scene 5) she's complimenting Paris again: "O! He's a lovely gentleman; Romeo's a dishclout to him."
"A man of wax". I think she means this as a compliment, meaning that he is as perfect as if he had been molded by a sculptor. Unfortunately, to me it carries the implication that he is as phoney as if he was made of wax.
In the beginning when Juliet and Romeo first meet, she is supportive and dutiful to Juliet and her love for Romeo. Then after Romeo slays Tybalt, he is banished from Verona by the Prince. Afterwards, Juliet's father arranges her in a marriage with Paris, once the nurse hears that, she turns on Romeo, and desires for Juliet to marry Paris (which was the Prince's kinsman) instead of the banished Romeo.
1. star-crossed lovers = Romeo & Juliet 2. weaker vessels = women 3. our masters = Capulets 4. Rebelious subjects = Capulets & Montagues 5. enemies to peace = " 6. man of wax =Paris 7. crow = Rosaline 8. kinsman = Tybalt 9. nobel uncle = Montague 10. gentle coz = Tybalt There's over a hundred in the whole play but those are some examples I found in ACT 1
'He is a man of wax' means a man who is too perfect to be real; he must have been sculpted, because real people are not so perfect. The Nurse calls Paris a "man of wax" in Romeo and Julietbecause she believes he is sublimely handsome.
Nurse and Lady C believe Paris is a good choice for Juliet to marry. Nurse feels Paris is a "man of wax" and Lady C thinks Juliet is at the perfect age to marry.
Apparently. The nurse seems to think so.
