Why did Juliet reject Paris's love?

What is ironic about the conversation between Juliet and Paris?

Paris actually thinks Juliet is really in love with him


How does Paris shows that he loves Juliet?

Paris doesn't really love Juliet. His feelings for Juliet are as conventional as Romeo's were for Rosaline. Paris does not know Juliet; he has not spent any time talking to her; he does not seem to want to bother about finding out what she wants. This is not love. When they meet at Friar Lawrence's cell, he takes it for granted that she must love him and does not pay any attention to the signals she is giving that she does not. After her supposed death, Paris acts as he supposes that a man ought to act in his position. He buys flowers to put on her grave and spouts bad poetry. He does all this about a woman we know he barely knew. Also, even if Paris loved Juliet, Juliet didn't even like him, and that is not true love.


How does Juliet respond to her mother's request?

It depends on what you consider to be her mother's request. Her mother doesn't ask her to marry Paris in Act 3, she tells her she is going to marry him. Even in Act 1, her command "Read over the volume of young Paris's face" is a command, although it is more like a request, since it is followed by the question, "Can you like of Paris's love?", to which Juliet responds "How should I know, when I've never even seen the guy?" although she says it like this: "I'll look to love if looking liking move."
