A few days later, Lord Capulet,who still knew nothing of Juliet's marriage to Romeo, sent for his daughter. He had a surprise announcement to make. I order you to marry the young nobleman,paris. The date for the wedding is already set. It will be held next Thursday. Juliet was astounded. That was less than a week away. She begged her father not to force her to marry a man she didn't love. But her words fell on deaf ears. Lord Capulet's mind was made up.
