Lady Capulet


I don't understand, Juliet is almost 14 and she is still not married. At her age i was married and pregnant! I think I have found the one for her though. His name is Paris and he's perfect. I have asked her if she can love him and she says she'll need to see him to decide. I cant understand why she isn't trying to find someone to marry! Most girls her age are married and pregnant, why is it that my daughter is the one uninterested in finding someone. Paris is handsome, rich and will always be able to take care of Juliet, does she not see what an opportunity this could be for her! I have told her to see take a good look at him at the party because he is interested in her. 

What say you? Can you love the gentleman?
This night you shall behold him at our feast.
Read o'er the volume of young Paris' face
And find delight writ there with beauty’s pen.
Examine every married lineament
And see how one another lends content,
And what obscured in this fair volume lies
Find written in the margin of his eyes.
This precious book of love, this unbound lover,
To beautify him only lacks a cover.
The fish lives in the sea, and ’tis much pride
For fair without the fair within to hide.
That book in many’s eyes doth share the glory
That in gold clasps locks in the golden story.
So shall you share all that he doth possess
By having him, making yourself no less. (act 1 scene 2 p29)

It is time for her to grow up, get married and have kids already. Even nurse agreed with me, it is time for juliet to move out and i think Paris is the perfect man for her. I am excited for the party because I think he could take care of her and make her a lovely mother. She is one of the only virgins her age and I cannot take this for much longer, it is time she has children. I hope she likes him because she's getting older and he isn't going to wait forever.
