Romeo...

  3. Juliet, I believe you should follow your heart and do what you want to do. I believe if you heart tells you to be with Romeo that is who you should be with. If you decide Paris then it will look like you are only doing that for your father unless you truly would rather be with Paris. If you want to be with Romeo you should be with Romeo. It is your choice who you love not any one else's.

    If you decide to be with Romeo don't let the fighting between your families be something that pulls you apart. If you and Romeo love each other you should be able to ignore what other people think. You should sit and talk to your dad about it and instead of the fighting being something that comes between y'all it should be something that brings your families together and stops the fighting because it shows no matter where or what you come from love doesn't care and your name shouldn't be something that keeps you from someone you love. I believe you should choose the one that makes YOU happy.

  4. Juliet i think that you should marry Romeo. He is willing to give up everything to be with you. He doesn't care what his family thinks. He fell in love with you since the first time he saw you. Your farther is the one that wants you to be with paris and i think that you really want to be with Romeo. Don' try to make him happy make yourself happy.
    If you marry Romeo then it might stop the war between the two family's. It doesn't matter what you family wants or what they like, you do what you want to do. Don't worry about making them happy. Romeo loves you and i think you love him. Don't let the war between the family's keep you from being with him.

  6. I personally think Juliet should marry Romeo , Because Romeo is different from Paris in so many ways .. Paris falls in love very easily and he's not really sure if that's what he wants . Paris only looks at Juliet's beauty .. Romeo has known Juliet but he has just now gotten a chance to talk to her when she over heard his conversation with himself on the balcony.

  7. If I were Juliets friend i would advise her to marry Paris because he has a job with her father and is in a better position than romeo is because romeo and juliets family is fighting and Paris and Juliets family isn't fighting. And also I think Rome would be an unfaithful husband because if he forgot about Roslyn that quick when he seen Juliet he might see another girl that he likes and do Juliet just like he did Roslyn and i wouldn't want that to happen to a friend so i would advise her to marry Paris. But if she doesn't like him then don't lead him on go with the one you love but Paris had more good things about him then Romeo.

  9. I think that Juliet should marry Paris because he has a job with her father and he is in a much better position than Romeo is. Paris is also more faithful than Romeo, like when Romeo seen Juliet he forgot about Roslyn. In my opinion Paris is the better choice but im not going to force her to marry him unless she chooses to.

  10. If I were Juliet's friend, I would advise her that it would be better for her and her family if she were to marry Paris. One reason is that Romeo and Juliet's families are having complications at the moment. Paris also has a higher position in society than Romeo, which could better Juliet's family as well. But, if I were her friend, I would also tell her to do what she thinks is right.

  11. I think Juliet should choose Paris, because for one, she wouldn't have died at the end of "Romeo and Juliet" and should would've been rich and lead a good life, and who knows, maybe she would've come to love Paris. But she didn't "love" Paris, she "loved" Romeo, but who's to say she knew what love was in her time(or age)? Maybe she did "love" Romeo, but maybe it was just "puppy love", she just looked at him (or talked to him) and it was "love at first site" and she fell for Romeo.
    But she knew they couldn't be together because her family and Romeo's family was rivals. But she didn't even give Paris a chance, true, she had no say in the matter, but she could have come to enjoy Paris "companionship" and should would've lived a good life and enjoyed her life with Paris.

  12. You should marry romeo because he is madly in love with you and he looks like the kind of guy that would take care of you and if you guys have a family he could provide for it. If you really loved him you would marry him so marry the guy see what happens maybe paris isnt your type.

  13. I think that Juliet should marry Romeo because she really likes Romeo, It's not right to marry someone who you don't like just to make her family happy it should be what makes her happy.

  14. Paris because even though she goes with with Romeo, He died and she should marry Paris.

    1. These were the instructions: "In a comment below, convince Juliet of which suitor she should marry. Write two or three paragraphs, and fully explain your reasons. Justify your argument using evidence from the play."

      Do you think you followed 100% of these instructions?

  15. It depends if she wants to know what her life is going to be like or if she wants to have a life that is surprising or just unknown. If she does marry Paris her life will be a little more peaceful but the best way to live is to not have your entire life planed out. Juliet should go for whatever her heart tells her to go.

  16. I think that you should marry Romeo and not Paris because even though he is a Montague and you are a Capulet you love Romeo and not Paris anymore.People always say "Follow Your Heart",but you can't do that if everyone wants you to marry Paris and not "follow your heart".If he doesn't make you as happy as Romeo does then you shouldn't marry someone who doesn't make you happy.It also might resolve the war between your family and his.

  17. Romeo, because that he is madly in love with you. I think that he would be a good husband, and make a good family and be able to provide a good home for his family.

  18. Juliet should follow her heart. She wants to marry Romeo, but her parents want her to marry Paris. Paris may seem like the right choice because his family holds a higher position in society. This could better Juliet's family. Romeo's place in society was not so high, marrying him wouldn't better her position at all. I think it should be her choice of who she should marry. She's the one that's going to have to live with him. I know it was hard for her to date/marry someone her parents didn't fully approve of, but at the end of the day you have to do what makes you happy.

    2. Romeo's position in society wasn't any lower than Juliet's. The Montague and Capulet families were in a dispute. Some people thought if Romeo and Juliet got married it would make peace with the two families.

  22. I would say Paris,if she was with him then she could be happy,her family could be happy and she probably would not have killed herself. With her killing herself over Romeo she did not get to live a life and know what it is like to be a real teenager and live life,she desided to kill herself over Romeo when she could have came to find out that Paris could have really been her true love and that Romeo was just lust.

  23. I think she should marry Romeo because you like him but she also likes Paris even though Paris has a lot of money , and he is a Montague,and is respectful and well mannered. your suppose to go with the one you like more, and go with your heart, and not what someone says.

  24. I think that Juliet should just follow her heart, but if she doesn't I feel like she should marry Romeo because, he really likes her and she likes him but her parents don't like him because of his family. I feel like Juliet shouldn't be forced to marry someone she doesn't really wanna be with.

  26. Well, I think that Juliet should be with the one that makes her happy. Even if he doesn't have money. And all of that.And Romeo,doesn't have all that, but he can love, and care for her.

  27. I think you should marry Romeo, I feel as though y'all have more of a connection. I mean why not take the chance on true love? Sure you're a Capulet and he is a Montague, but in the end doesn't love always prevail?.. Why marry a man every one wants you to marry, just because they want to be closer to the thrown. Not like you wake up everyday to please everyone. I just want you you to be happy and to follow your heart. Go with the person you really love and care for. I wouldn't listen to everyone else.

  28. think that you should marry Romeo and not Paris because even though he is a Montague and you are a Capulet you love Romeo and not Paris anymore.People always say "Follow Your Heart",but you can't do that if everyone wants you to marry Paris and not "follow your heart".If he doesn't make you as happy as Romeo does then you shouldn't marry someone who doesn't make you happy.

  29. I think, that Juliet, and Romeo would be a better couple than, Juliet, and Paris. Because to me Romeo is a better loving person.And all the things that he felt for her. I believed she felt the same way about him. Not caring about what Lord Capulet had to say about it.

  31. Juliet I believe you should marry Romeo because he want's to marry you for the right reasons unlike Paris. You should basically follow your heart and I personally believe that your heart is with Romeo because if it was with Paris you never would have started planning a wedding with Romeo.

  33. I think you should marry Romeo Because He really loves you and if you have something special for him he might have something special for you. And just because both of your parents are enemies you and Romeo are not.

  34. I believe Juliet should marry Romeo, because Romeo is different from Paris in many ways. Paris falls in love easily and Paris is not really sure if that's what he wants. Paris only looks at Juliet's beauty and not what kind of person she is in the inside. Romeo has known Juliet but he has just now got a chance to talk to her when she overhears his conversation with himself on the balcony.

  35. I think that she should marry Paris because she just meet Romeo and she already wants to get married to him. And Paris has a job with her father and is in a better position than Romeo is because Romeo and Juliets family is fighting and Paris and Juliets family isn't fighting. Thats why I think that she should marry Paris
