Question

Which line in this excerpt from act II of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet reveal that Count Paris wants to marry Juliet as soon as possible?

PARIS: These times of woe afford no time to woo.
Madam, good night: commend me to your daughter.

LADY CAPULET: I will, and know her mind early to-morrow;
To-night she is mew'd up to her heaviness.

CAPULET: Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender
Of my child's love: I think she will be ruled
In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not.
Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed;
Acquaint her here of my son Paris' love;
And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesday next—
But, soft! what day is this?

PARIS: Monday, my lord,

CAPULET: Monday! ha, ha! Well, Wednesday is too soon,
O' Thursday let it be: o' Thursday, tell her,
She shall be married to this noble earl.
Will you be ready? do you like this haste?
We'll keep no great ado,—a friend or two;
For, hark you, Tybalt being slain so late,
It may be thought we held him carelessly,
Being our kinsman, if we revel much:
Therefore we'll have some half a dozen friends,
And there an end. But what say you to Thursday?

PARIS: My lord, I would that Thursday were to-morrow.

Answer 1

PARIS: My lord, I would that Thursday were to-morrow.

Answer 2

My lord, I would that Thursday were to-morrow.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the excerpt from Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Paris longs to marry Juliet in the shortest time. He even visits the Capulets late in the evening, since Lord Capulet says he would be in bed if it had not been for Paris. In fact, Paris is in such a hurry to make Juliet his wife, that he cannot wait until three days until Thursday for the wedding; he wishes tomorrow were Thursday, although it is Monday.
