In the play Romeo and Juliet, Paris asked Lord Capulet to marry his only daughter Juliet. Lord Capulet tells Paris to wait 2 years then she will be ready to be a bride. Later he changes his mind and tells Paris that he should come to is party tonight and woooo Juliet. Even later in the play (in Act 3) Lord Capulet changes his mind again and arranges Paris to marry Juliet on the next Thursday which is in 3 days.
Capulet is worried that his daughter's grief over her cousin's death is out of control, and he figures being married to Paris will cheer her up for some reason. Besides, he has a pretty good catch on the line in Paris (he's related to the Prince and therefore a noble!) and he needs to reel him in, if he is to land him. He is worried that Paris will look elsewhere for a bride, so he asks Paris if he would be willing to marry Juliet right away, that very week.

Count Paris visited the Capulet house in order to ask for Juliet's hand in marriage. He had been informed by Lord Capulet that Juliet was of marriageable age and possessed of sufficient assets and beauty to make her a desirable bride. He was determined to win her hand and sought an audience with her and her family. Count Paris had several incentives for wanting to marry Juliet. These included: The wealth and prestige associated with a Capulet The beauty and grace of Juliet herself The potential political alliances that could be forged through the marriageCount Paris was ultimately successful in his quest and Juliet's father granted him permission to marry her. He was delighted and the two were soon betrothed.
Totally different things in Act 1 and Act 3. In Act 1 he says the Juliet is too young and that Paris should wait until she is 16. In Act 3 he says, "Hot Dang! Let's go for it! I'm sure Juliet will be happy to go along with this."

Juliet is obedient to her parents' wishes at the beginning of the play when she agrees to marry Paris. She also follows through with Friar Laurence's plan to fake her own death in order to be with Romeo. Ultimately, her obedience to her emotions and desires leads to tragedy.

He didn't really try to control her, per se. He was much more lenient than Lady Capulet, and most fathers in the 16th century. He wanted her to wait until she was sixteen to marry, and she also wanted Juliet to truly fall in love...but to "pick in the scope" meaning, preferably a man he'd approve of, a rich man who'd be sure to support her and the family, for example. Certaintly not someone like Romeo, who was a Montague, in the feuding family.

In Act 4 of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Capulet gives the following orders: To move the wedding date of Juliet to Paris to Wednesday. To make preparations for the wedding feast. To have all hands on deck to ensure everything is ready for the ceremony.
In a previous scene, Capulet and Paris agreed that Paris should marry Juliet on Thursday at St. Peter's Church. However, it is the groom's job to make the arrangements with the priest, which is what he was doing at Friar Lawrence's cell. Romeo was the one to make arrangements with Friar Lawrence about his wedding to Juliet, as you will remember.
Juliet says she would deny her family and change her name in order to be with Romeo.
