How does Juliet respond to her mother's suggestion of marriage to Paris?

Answer 1

In William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," when Lady Capulet suggests that Juliet consider marrying Paris, Juliet responds with reluctance. She tells her mother that she is not ready to marry and that she has not given much thought to the idea of marriage. Juliet initially says that she will look at Paris at the Capulet's feast and will try to like him, but she expresses that her feelings are not aligned with her mother's wishes. This response shows her obedience to her mother while also hinting at her lack of enthusiasm for the arranged marriage. Her feelings change dramatically later when she falls in love with Romeo, which complicates her situation further.
