Looming Tragedy

Prompt C
Paris - Why do you want to marry Juliet so badly when you know she doesn't love you?
Friar Lawrence - Why didn't you suggest the potion plan right away?
Lord Capulet - Isn't Juliet's sudden change of heart rather suspicious?
Juliet - You know that the Nurse supports you and Romeo; why didn't you tell her about your plan?
Juliet - Isn't your fear about what could happen and your sadness over not seeing your family again a bad sign?

Prompt F
The relationship between Juliet and Paris is a weak one. Paris is arrogant, selfish, and insensitive. He tries to communicate to Juliet that once he marries her, he owns her, but she remains cold and composed. This annoys Paris greatly. Although Juliet manages to outsmart and circumvent Paris's over-familiar comments, Paris reminds her just who would wield the power in the relationship if they were married.
