Capulet likes the idea, but thinks Juliet still a little young for marriage (many girls her age are already married). Capulet decides to have a party so that Paris can “woo” Juliet and make her fall in love with him. He sends a servant (who can’t read) to invite people. The servant asks Romeo and Benvolio for help reading the guest list. Romeo and Benvolio are still talking about Romeo’s love and they find her name, Rosaline, on the list.

4. ACT I, SCENE III Juliet and Lady Capulet discuss the party that night. Lady Capulet asks Juliet what she thinks about marriage; Juliet replies that she has not thought about it (remember, Juliet is 13, almost 14, and many others her age are already married). Lady Capulet tells Juliet to look at Paris and consider him for a husband and Juliet agrees to do so.
