Juliet is told to marry Paris in Act 3, Scene 5 of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." In this scene, her parents, Lord and Lady Capulet, insist that she accept Paris's proposal, believing it will bring her happiness. Juliet, however, is distraught as she is already secretly married to Romeo. This moment marks a turning point in the play, intensifying her conflict and desperation.
Juliet is angry with the Nurse at the end of scene 5 in Act 3 because the Nurse thinks she should just marry Paris after Juliet asks the Nurse for advice (even if Juliet doesnt love Paris). Also because Romeo can never come and see her n she can never go and see him. The Nurse thinks Paris is a good guy for Juliet instead of Romeo.
He doesn't, because his mind is on other things. It is only afterward, after he has killed Paris, that he recalls having heard that he was going to marry Juliet. "What said my man when my betossed soul Did not attend him as we rode? I think He told me Paris should have married Juliet. Said he not so? Or did I dream it so?"
Juliet has told her father that Friar Lawrence told her to apologise to her father and to agree to marry Paris. Capulet praises the Friar, thinking that the Friar is helping Capulet's marriage plans for Juliet, when in fact the apology is part of the Friar's plan to frustrate Capulet's plans.
After Romeo injured Paris. Paris told him "Lay me in the tomb with Juliet". Romeo agrees and put him in the tomb with Juliet.
Remember folks. When you ask a question, be as precise and accurate as possible. This question, from Shakespeare's ROMEO & JULIET (apparently) is difficult to comprehend. Decision concerning what? Also, the location of "act scene iv" remains vague. Do you mean Act IV scene 4? I can only surmise, but I suspect that this question is asking "What decision concerning Juliet does Lord Capulet make in Act IV scene 4?" It is in this scene that Lord Capulet decides to arrange a marriage for his daughter with Paris. Recall that earlier in the play Capulet told Paris to wait at least "two more summers" before Juliet would be "ripe to be a bride." But in this scene of Act IV we see the change of mind. It's a feature of ROMEO & JULIET that every major character makes a spontaneous "change of mind" or "moment of decision" that seems unaccountable for any logical reason. This is that moment for Lord Capulet. He expects that Juliet will be "ruled" by him (that is, will appreciate what he does). But, boy! is he wrong! Note that Capulet sets the wedding up for Thursday (in this play which begins on a Sunday morning). Later on he will actually rush the wedding ahead one day, to Wednesday. But at the end of IV,4 the wedding is arranged for Thursday of that mid July week. Hope this helps. --CLV

no one in specific but the day that Juliet wanted to tell her father, her father told her about Paris and when she refused he was so angry and swore that if she doesn't marry Paris she won't be his daughter anymore. (anyway he wouldn't have accepted even if she told him because their family's -- Juliet's and Romeo's where like enemys )

Juliet reacts with shock and horror when she is told she is marrying Paris, as she is already married to Romeo. She refuses to comply with her parents' wishes and seeks the help of Friar Lawrence for a solution.

Love: When Paris first asks for Juliets hand Capulet says that Juliet must agree to the marriage before it will happen. Anger: When Juliet told Capulet that she does not wish to marry Paris, her father is furious and tells her that she will marry Capulet, or she will be kicked out of the house and onto the streets.

Capulet first told Paris no in regards to marrying Juliet. However, later he returns and has changed his mind telling Paris to wait until Thursday.
the interview was very straight forward. romeo told Juliet's nurse that he wants to marry Juliet and he told he that if Juliet really loved him she would agree to it.
In Act IV Scene 1 Juliet meets Paris at the Friar's cell. Paris says "Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears." She's been crying, he perceives (probably because he has been told as much by Capulet; Paris would not notice it if she had grown a second head). Juliet says, "The tears have got small victory by that, for it was bad enough before their spite." According to her, the marks of crying cannot make her uglier than she was.
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.
