In the prologue, it is mentioned that there are two households, the Capulets and the Montagues, who are enemies. In Act 1, scene 5 of "Romeo and Juliet," Juliet and Romeo's initial encounter at the Capulet party echoes the prologue by highlighting the forbidden love and tragedy that will unfold due to the feud between the two households. Juliet's line, "My only love sprung from my only hate," underscores the theme of love emerging from a place of conflict, mirroring the central conflict between the two families.
If you look carefully, Juliet is never rude to her father, and never insults him behind his back. What he asks of her is impossible, but she never faults him for asking it. After all, Capulet does not know Juliet is already married when he tells her to marry Paris. Contrast her attitude to him with her attitude to the Nurse, formerly her closest confidante, after the Nurse counsels Juliet to commit bigamy. Juliet loses all respect for the nurse and calls her a "wicked fiend". She never loses her respect for her father, even when he loses his temper.
They married each other before thinking about how their feuding households will make it difficult for them to be together.

There isn't any free verse in Romeo and Juliet--not in Shakespeare's in any case. Perhaps you are thinking of blank verse. There is lots of that. An example is the first line, "Two households both alike in dignity."
Paris is a kinsman of the Prince. It is a good alliance for the Capulet family. Lord Capulet needs a strong alliance because the family's male heir has died in a duel with Romeo.
