 Studying Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Let's discuss the character of Paris and do some word-level analysis on him. On scene two he's trying to convince Lord Capulet to let him marry Juliet. Paris uses abstinence of O and he says of honourable reckoning are you both here? He's trying to flatter Lord Capulet by saying that he is really honourable just like Lord Montague. After flattering him he asks about marrying Juliet and the repetition of the pronoun my shows how selfish his intentions are. Lord Capulet tells him she has not seen the change of 14 years and Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter here to show that Juliet is still really young yet Paris is still stubborn and he says younger than she are happy mothers made and he responds in like by using iambic pentameter insisting that Juliet is old enough at 14 to marry him. The adjective younger highlights just how selfish Paris is in only thinking about himself. He doesn't care just how young and youthful Juliet is. Also the literation in mothers made show again he's really selfish and Juliet probably wouldn't be very happy with Paris.
