When Juliet tells Capulet, "Henceforward I am ever rul'd by you," she is showing true repentance and vowing to obey her father. In this moment, Juliet pretends to accept her father's wishes and agree to marry Paris, masking her true feelings about Romeo and her marriage to him. This reflects her desire to avoid conflict with her father while secretly plotting her own course of action.
