Question

Why did Juliet react so violently to her parents' news of her upcoming marriage? ​

Answer 1

Juliet reacted so violently to her parents' news of her upcoming marriage because her parents wanted her to marry Paris. By this time, Juliet has already set her mind that she will only marry Romeo. Paris is a very suitable suitor for Juliet according to her parents but then she only wants to be married to Romeo.

Answer 2

Lady Capulet tells Juliet about Capulet's plan for her to marry Paris on Thursday, explaining that he wishes to make her happy. Juliet is appalled. She rejects the match, saying “I will not marry yet; and when I do, I swear / It shall be Romeo—whom you know I hate— / Rather than Paris”
