that on Wednesday she will marry Paris, but then he changes his mind quickly and tells her to tell Juliet on Thursday. They don't want it to be too soon or people will think that Tybalt's death meant nothing to them.

How does Paris expalin the sudden haste of the marriage plans in Romeo and Juliet?

Paris doesn't explain his sped up marriage. Lord Capulet does when he is talking to Paris in Act III, Scene 4. Capulet says Juliet will marry Paris to pull her out of the depressed mourning for Tybalt. He says it will bring more joy and happiness to their family instead of grief. Paris is happy with this arrangement because it means he'll be able to marry Juliet sooner than before.


What is ironic about Capulets praise of Friar Laurence in act 4 scene 2?

What impulsive dicision does Lord Capulet make to help Juliet overcome her grief for Tybalt's?

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
