Comparing Juliet And Lady Capulet's Conversation

The main similarity between Lady Capulet and Capulet’s conversation is that it focuses on Juliet’s union (marriage) to Paris. For example “Younger than she are happy mothers made” (I.ii.12). This quote demonstrates that there are woman that are younger than Juliet and have children. Paris is trying to convince Capulet so he can arrange their marriage. Lady Capulet says “Marry, that ‘marry’ is the very theme I came to talk of” (I.iii.68). This demonstrates that Lady Capulet wants to talk to Juliet about her marriage to Paris. A difference between their conversations is that Lady Capulet ‘forces’ Juliet to marry Paris, while Capulet lets Juliet decides if she wants to marry Paris. For instance, “My will to her consent is but a part” (I.ii.17).
