by pushing Juliet into a quick marriage with Paris

Explanation: Capulet forces and then suddenly accelerates the wedding plans (Act IV, scenes ii–v), pressuring Juliet to marry Paris. Her desperation to avoid that marriage leads her to take Friar Laurence’s sleeping potion, setting off the chain of misunderstandings that produce the catastrophe.
