Lord Capulet views marriage as a bargain, a contract, and a way to increase his family's standing in the community. Since Paris is a cousin of the Prince, Capulet believes that this marriage will bring honor and status to the Capulet family. He probably has the intention of using this to assert dominance over the Montagues. When describing Paris to Juliet he says he is "A gentleman of noble parentage / Of fair demesnes, youthful, and nobly train'd<span>" (Act 3, Scene 5). This shows that his main focus is Paris's status, rather than how he would actually be as a match for Juliet.

Capulet does not even think of what Juliet might want, he says to Paris "I think she will be ruled / In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not" (Act 3, Scene 4). This shows that he just assumes Juliet will agree to marry Paris because he said so. When she refuses, he reacts very badly. He says that if she does not agree to the wedding, she can "hang, beg, starve, die in
the streets, / <span>For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee" (Act 3, Scene 5). This shows the lengths he is willing to go to to punish Juliet if she does not agree, which reinforces his idea of marriage as a contractual agreement rather than something that is developed out of love. </span>

How does wanda feel about the dresses game why does she say that she has a hundred dresses.
Margaret [11]

Wanda felt very happy.

She was a young woman who travelled far and in great poverty, making her feet filthy. She sought to get her companions' attention. She didn't realise people were making fun of her, so she felt quite good whenever she told a friend she had a hundred clothes.

The hundred dresses was a work from American children's author Eleanor Estes, who died on July 15, 1988, was also a children's librarian (born on May 9, 1906). She also produced the drawings for her book Ginger Pye, which was awarded the Newbery Medal. One of her novels received the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award, while three of her works received Newbery Honor Awards. Estes based her novels on her early 1900s experiences living in a small Connecticut village.
