Doesn't want her to get married yet
-
Wants her to fall in love and choose her own husband
-
Wants her to marry Paris
-
Both a and b
Correct Answer
A. Both a and bExplanation
Capulet both doesn't want Juliet to get married yet and wants her to fall in love and choose her own husband. This can be seen in Act I when Capulet tells Paris that Juliet is too young and he wants her to wait a few more years before getting married. However, he also says that if Juliet falls in love with Paris and agrees to marry him, he would support their union. Therefore, Capulet's stance on Juliet's marriage is a combination of not wanting her to get married yet and wanting her to have the freedom to choose her own husband.Rate this question:
