1.3 Planned Marriage disagreements

Prompt B:  Love takes time and cannot be forced.

Prompt C: Who does Juliet like?  Does she have her own opinions on marriage? If so, why doesn't she share her opinions to her mother and the nurse?  At this point in the novel, does Juliet know who Romeo is?  What are Lady Capulet's reasons for Juliet to marry Paris?

Prompt F:  In this scene, Juliet and her mothers' relationship is brought up and revealed.  Her mother wishes for Juliet to get married to Paris.  But it is clear the Juliet has her own desires.  Juliet tells her mother that getting married "is an honour that I dream not of."  They have different opinions and this will affect their relationship later in the book.

  1. Why do you say that love takes time? Romeo and Juliet fell in love at first sight.

  2. Will, I like your theme of the chapter because it describes the different views of love from Juliet and her mother.

  3. Will,

    In this scene, Juliet does discreetly mention her opinions of marriage to her mother and the nurse when she says, "It is an honour that I dream not of." This shows that she does not wish to be married in the near future. Also, Lady Capulet wants Juliet to marry Paris because he is very rich and noble and at that time girls married early.

  4. Will, good job making those questions and summarizing the story. You should try to work on your grammar skills.
