Obviously, Paris is an all-around bad guy. From just assuming that Juliet would enjoy being married to him to his inexcusable accusation of Romeo, Paris’ actions have rightfully justified him as the omnipotent antagonist of the entire play.

Paris is also undeniably one of the key factors of the downfall of Romeo and Juliet's love, immediately revealing the fiend that seemed to be so charming and innocent to the audience.

Juliet did not tell Paris how she truly felt allowing him to have feelings for her. Juliet says,”Wash they his wounds with tears? When theirs are dry, for Romeo’s Banishment.” This displays that she had no feelings for Paris and only cared that Romeo had been banished. Paris also kissed her in the story and your average married women would have gotten very heated. This happening leads Paris to believe that Juliet had mutual feelings for him. Since Paris fell in love with Juliet, he came to her mausoleum to mourn her fake death. Paris would not have had the confrontation with Romeo if Juliet would have gone through with the

In examining Juliet's choice between Romeo or Paris, it is clear that Paris's courtly and mannerly approach to a marriage with Juliet is a reason as to why a real relationship between the two would prove beneficial for her. Paris in this instance shows the maturity and mannerly approach as he had consulted with the Capulets in regards to a potential marriage with him to Juliet, where as Romeo married her in secret.

Another reason why Paris would be a better husband is because he could’ve benefitted Juliet more than Romeo. Paris could come to Juliet’s rescue more than Romeo could. Since Paris was not a Montague, the Capulets wouldn’t question his visit to the Capulet’s house or he would not need sneak like Romeo needed to so Paris could come see Juliet more freely than Romeo. One reason why Juliet would need comforting is because of the death of her cousin, Tybalt. Since Romeo was the one that killed Tybalt, the concept of Romeo comforting her would be a little awkward whereas Paris
Throughout the play a comparison is made between Paris and Romeo and the different aspects of love they offer Juliet. Paris is "a gentleman of noble parentage" and seems to be a sensible husband. He is rich and would be a gain to the Capulet family. The marriage to Paris is a logical arrangement, Capulet says Juliet should "count her bless'd" as he has "wrought so worthy a gentleman to be her bride". She should be proud and grateful that her father has persuaded such a worthy and noble man to marry into their family. Paris is the courtly lover that Romeo wasn't given the chance to be; he brings flowers and kisses Juliet's hand
The murder of Paris was a devastating one, he died being a hero and paid the price. It all started when Paris was mourning the death of his future “wife” or so he thought, until he heard someone coming.

He quickly disposed of him and then Romeo killed himself shortly after. Romeo took the easy way out. First of all, Romeo broke the law by going back even though he was banished. Which he broke carelessly after one day and killed another person a couple days earlier so Romeo obviously broke many
In 2002, I left my native country Costa Rica. I left everyone and everything that once matter to me. When I first arrive to Canada to my mother’s house, I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t know what was coming. The language and culture were not the same; everything was so new to me. I had to adapt, the lifestyle was rapidly and noisy. Back in my native country everything was so different, it was a little town, where I could walk to school or ride my bicycle and my mother wouldn’t have to worry. Toronto was a big city, but on top of being bigger than my hometown it was cold and the days were shorter. It was 2004 when my mother decided that United States seems like a better alternative to live, and once again I was leaving everything behind.
