Who is Paris and mercutio of shakespeares time?

Paris and Mercutio are two fictional male characters in Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." Paris is the groom-to-be in a marriage arranged by Juliet's father, Mr. Capulet. He has an established career and appears to be a business associate of Capulet. At the time of the play, Juliet is a restless not quite 14-year-old who thinks Paris is old and boring (as any girl her age might think of someone chosen by her dad), especially compared with the young and impetuous Romeo. The knowledge that she may soon be married off to Paris is one of the factors that drives Juliet into the arms of her Romeo. Mercutio is one of Romeo's best friends and the leader of his gang. Mercutio's name shares the same Latin root as the word mercurial, which aptly describes the highs and lows he exhibits. Whereas Romeo is young and dreamy and often at a loss for words, Mercutio is a little older and has a real gift of the gab. In many ways, Mercutio is the voice of Shakespeare the poet, often explaining situations and character motivations or offering running commentary on the action as it unfolds. Mercutio is the one who recommends that Romeo seek out a new lover after being spurned by Rosaline at the play's opening. He gives a very famous speech about the queen of the fairies, Queen Mab, who he describes as coming to us in dreams. Some critics have speculated that Mercutio might be in love with Romeo, and some actors play the character as deeply jealous of Romeo's blossoming relationship with Juliet. Mercutio does a great impersonation of Juliet's nurse in the public square, but his talking and making fun land him in a confrontation with Juliet's cousin, Tybalt. They face off in the square after both saying some harsh words, and swords are drawn. Romeo tries to break it up, but Tybalt stabs Mercutio, killing him. In retaliation, Romeo grabs a sword out of anger and accidentally kills Tybalt. In a way, Mercutio's sharp words are the cause of his death. This fight scene sets the end of the play in motion. Juliet feels torn between anguish over the death of her cousin Tybalt and loyalty to her new (secret) husband Romeo. Because he killed Tybalt and lived, Romeo is banished from Verona (which back in their time, was like a death sentence). The couple vows to work it out, but we all know that they are on a collision course with disaster.

Are Juliet's parents and the nurse acting out of concern for Juliet and what is the best for her?

Yes, they are. However, their ideas of what is best for Juliet do not square with Juliet's. Capulet's decision to browbeat Juliet into marrying Paris is possibly more based on his wounded pride than on his concern for her, but his desire to push the match is based on his love for his daughter.
