“Younger than she arehappy mothers

made.”

“And too soon marredare those so early made.”

Paris (1.2.12) Lord Capulet (1.2.13)

But woo her gentle Paris, get her heart;My will to her consent is but a part.

LADY CAPULET ASKS JULIET, “HOW STANDS YOUR DISPOSITION TO BE MARRIED?”Act 1, scene 3, line 65

JULIET SAYS, “IT IS AN HONOR I DREAM NOT OF.”

JULIET (1.3.97-99) I’ll look to like, if

looking liking move;

But no more will I endart mine eye

Then your consent gives strength to make it fly.(I’ll look for the

good in him, but Ican’t say that I’ll

fallin love… at least

without yourpermission)
