Paris thinks that Juliet is unhappy over the death of Tybalt, largely because that's what Capulet told him in Act III Scene IV. Paris does not notice that Juliet is upset, because he is not the noticing type. He has been told that Juliet has been crying over Tybalt's death but will be cheered up by marrying Paris, and he takes that at face value without thinking.

∙ 11y agoNot having much imagination, Paris assumes that Juliet must be happy about marrying him, because her father said as much. Not having any ability at all to read people, he is unable to perceive that this is obviously not the case.
Paris is just one of a long line of Shakespearean idiot suitors favoured by fathers and hated by daughters, starting with Thurio and working towards Cloten.

∙ 12y agoParis does not concern himself much with Juliet's state of mind. He notes that she has been crying, but probably wouldn't have if Capulet had not previously told him that she was crying. His conversation does not indicate any real interest in what Juliet is thinking. He has the father's approval, and so is entitled to assume that she loves him and is happy to marry him.

We start Act IV Scene 1 just after Paris has said, "Friar, I have Mr. Capulet's permission to marry his daughter Juliet on Thursday next. Will you perform the wedding then?" to which, as we know, the Friar says "On Thursday sir? The time is very short." and Paris says "My father Capulet will have it so."

Why is friar Laurence so upset that his message did not reach romeo in act 4?
Good question. The idea was that his message would ensure that Romeo came at the right time to meet Juliet when she wakened. It also would tell Romeo that any news he might hear about Juliet's death should be disregarded. He might well be upset on the second ground, since Romeo might (and did) believe that Juliet was really dead. But on the first ground there would be no reason for the Friar to be upset, since he sent the message before Capulet moved up the wedding date, so the time in the message would have been the wrong time anyway.
