Juliets point of view

JULIET:

Tonight my parents are to have a party tonight and I can't wait for it. My mother wants me to marry Paris but I am not so sure about him, I am willing to consider him but I want to keep my options open. Paris will probably be at the party tonight and this will be my chance to get to know him better.

Part of me is wishing that tonight I will find that suitable man that I can fall in love with instead of having my mother and father set me up with my cousin Paris. I would rather like to be able to choose that man that I am going to spend the rest of my life with.

I have promised my mom that I would get to know Paris but I didn't make her any promises about marrying him. Why make a promise that you are not certain you can keep? What if I don't like him the slightest little bit and I already promised my mother that i would marry him? What would I do than? I would be trapped in between and not no what to do. That is why I don't make promises that I know i might not be able to keep.
