I would say neither, actually. In the long run probably I'd say Paris (I suppose if you HAVE to choose one). Romeo and Juliet are not some "destined to be together" pair. I actually feel they are both "typical" teenagers in love with what is forbidden. Read the play keeping in mind that they are both 15 (or younger). Then think about 15 year olds today and the crushes and rash decisions they make due to their raging hormones. (IE: the outcome of R&J). Even though girls were typically married young, it was usually to a much older man who could support them. Who was already established and had an established household. What would have happened had Romeo and Juliet not died in the tomb. Romeo had no job, no prospects and his family hated Juliet for her name(likewise for Juliet). How in the heck did they expect to survive? I doubt Montigue or Capulet would have taken the marriage lightly. We saw in the play how Capulet reacted to her rejection of Paris...add on top of that a marriage to the son of his sworn enemy?!? Both of them probably would have been kicked out of their houses and disowned. What then? Besides the fact that Juliet was well on her way to being pregnant (it only takes once). So here they are 15, homeless, penniless, and with a baby. Sounds like they both make horrible decisions! The only thing that DID bring their families together was their death. If neither one died then how did they expect they were going to live?
