Paris Pros:
Act 1 Scene 2 lines 16-19
CD: "But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart.
My will to her consent is but a part.
An she agreed within her scope of choice,
Lies my consent and fair according voice."
CM: Paris has Capulet's consent to marry Juliet.
CM: Paris follows the right steps by confronting the parent.
Act 5 Scene 3 lines 12-18
CD:"Sweet flower, with flowers thy bridal bed I strew—
O woe! Thy canopy is dust and stones—
Which with sweet water nightly I will dew.
Or, wanting that, with tears distilled by moans,
The obsequies that I for thee will keep
Nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep."
CM: Paris mourns over the death of Juliet, he was eager to be married
with her

Con Romeo-
a2 s2 lines 25-27
"JULIET-ay me!
ROMEO-She speaks:
O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art"
ROMEO IS ACTING ON IMPULSE AS WELL AS TRYING TO AVOID ANYONE TO KNOW
THAT HE LOVES JULIET. HE WANTS TO STAY SECRETIVE RATHER THAN
CONSULTING JULIETS PARENTS ABOUT HIS FEELINGS ABOUT HER, LIKE PARIS
DID. ROMEO IS ACTING ON IMPULSE BECAUSE HE HAD JUST FINISHED MEETING
HER AND ALREADY HE IS STALKING HER OUTSIDE HER WINDOW.

Act 5 Scene 3 Line 120
ROMEO-"Thy drugs are quick. Thus a kiss I die."
Romeo is selfish and kills himself. he
doess not think that the other people
that love him, if he would not have killed himself and taken time to
think about what he iwas aboout to do, maybe things would have been
better. his poor choice supports the idea that he acts on impulse, he
does not even think abuot the unintended consecuences.

pro romeo
A2, S2 Ln 26-28
ROMEO "O' speak agian,bright angel, for thou art as glorious to this
night,being o'er my head, as is a winged messanger of heaven."
Although romeo has is very affectionate to juliet and wants her to
know that with all of his "heart" he loves her, this attribute leads
both romeo and juliet to their deaths. because he believes she is
some type of goddess romeo acts as if there will never be a person to
replace her. he later becomes blinded by his lust and when juliet
seems to be dead Romeo kills himself in saddness.

pro paris a1 s3 l 63-65
LADY CAPULRT"Marry, that 'marry' is the very theme I came to talk of.
Tell me,
daughter Juliet How stands your dispositions to be married'
Unlike romeo Paris has spoken to the parents of jliet to see if they
agree that he should marry Juliet. Paris has stuck with the
traditional steps to getting married rather than try to be a cool guy
like romeo. paris not only talked to the parents, but they both
agreed that the mariage would be a good idea. Romeo on the other hand
is a rival to the capulet house and eventually causes chaos in both
parties.
