What does Juliet say about Paris in Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

Paris is like Jacob frm twilight. her parents think hes better for her, but Juliet is completely in love with romeo. Paris knows this, but cant help but loving her. Paris would never give up till the end, and romeo knows that, but doesnt care. and in juliets own way, she also loves Paris, but not the way she loves romeo.

Juliet (Bella)

romeo (edward)

Paris (Jacob)

<3 *Renesmee*

Answer 2

I would say Romeo follows his emotions alot - first he is in LOVE with Rosaline then he forgets all about her for Juliet. Romeo and Juliet's love is seen as real when they share the Sonnet at the Capulet Ball. They equally share lines which is unusual when Shakespeare was writing - usually the man would be in charge of love. The religiou imagery of "pilgrim" is used to show their love is above everyone else and is controlled by a higher fate.

Paris is more interested in a marriage with Juliet for convenience - she is young and beautiful, he will have important ties with Capulet who he can use for business etc. Paris wants Juliet to be a trophy wife. He doesn't know that she is not in love with him, at the church before Juliet takes the potion he keeps calling her his "wife" but Juliet doesn't like this.

Answer 3

She despises, detests, hates Paris and would never marry him. She slipped that she would rather marry Romeo (true) but tells her mom that she would marry the guy who killed her cousin rather that Paris, to cover up. :)

Answer 4

He is a very conventional and unimaginative person. His approach to Juliet is entirely through her father. Even when Capulet tells him that he ought to get to know Juliet before marrying her, he doesn't. Yet even though they have barely met, when he meets her at Friar Lawrence's cell, he expects her to be happy about marrying him and to display the conventional behaviour of the happy bride (just as he is being the conventional happy bridegroom). He is totally oblivious to Juliet as a person, and the fact that she shows signs of extreme reluctance about the marriage. He just doesn't care about her as a human being. And yet, when she is apparently dead, there he is again playing the part of the bereaved lover about a girl he hardly knew. His meeting with Romeo also shows his lack of empathy or even curiosity with what is going on with other people. He makes a lot of assumptions about what Romeo is doing and characteristically refuses to listen to him. He just attacks him.

Answer 5

Paris is most clearly defined by two acts: his attempt to marry Juliet and his attempt to apprehend Romeo.

Paris does not approach Juliet to woo her; he goes straight to her father. Although Capulet tells Paris to woo her and get her heart, we never see him trying to do so. His negotiations are strictly with Capulet. And yet, in Act 4 Scene 1, he is calling her "love" and acting as if she had expressed feelings of love for him. But although we can see that she obviously does not, he is utterly oblivious.

When Romeo is at the tomb, he runs into Paris, who is in the act of putting flowers on Juliet's grave. One cannot help but wonder why. Clearly Paris thinks this is how someone should behave when the woman he is to marry dies. He even expresses himself in corny verse. When he sees Romeo, he leaps to the conclusion that he is there to desecrate the grave. He does not ask Romeo; he does not listen when Romeo tries to explain himself.

Paris seems to be one of those people who is in his own little world, who has ideas about what other people are thinking or feeling which are not based on observation but on preconcieved notions and prejudice. He is totally conventional in his behaviour and attitudes.

Answer 6

He's Prince Escalus's cousin, another Verona man.

Answer 7

Paris is not a city. He is a relative of the Prince Escalus, looking for a rich and good-looking teenaged wife. Preferably Juliet, who met all the qualifications.
