Read the excerpt from Act III, scene iv of Romeo and Juliet . Capulet: Monday! ha, ha! Well, Wednesday is too soon; O’ Thursday let it be: o’ Thursday, tell her, She shall be married to this noble earl. Will you be ready? do you like this haste? We’ll keep no great ado; a friend or two; For, hark you, Tybalt being slain so late, It may be thought we held him carelessly, Being our kinsman, if we revel much. Therefore we’ll have some half a dozen friends, And there an end. But what say you to Thursday? Paris: My lord, I would that Thursday were to-morrow. Based on this dialogue, how does Paris feel about marrying Juliet?
