Read the excerpt from Act III, scene v of Romeo and Juliet.

Lady Capulet: Marry, my child, early next Thursday morn 120
The gallant, young, and noble gentleman,
The County Paris, at Saint Peter’s church,
Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride.

Juliet: Now, by Saint Peter’s church, and Peter too,
He shall not make me there a joyful bride. 125
I wonder at this haste; that I must wed
Ere he that should be husband comes to woo.
I pray you, tell my lord and father, madam,
I will not marry yet; and, when I do, I swear,
It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate, 130

She is stubborn and willful.

Juliet openly refuses her mother's plan—“He shall not make me there a joyful bride,” “I will not marry yet”—and defiantly asserts she’ll marry Romeo instead, directly resisting parental authority and the tradition of arranged marriage.
