Answer 1

Answer:

He says that he is doing it to cheer her up.  

Explanation:

Capulet asks Paris to hold up "two additional summers" before wedding his young little girl Juliet. Notwithstanding, when Tybalt is executed by Romeo, he accepts, erroneously, that she is lamenting her cousin's passing, when, in truth, she is grief stricken on the grounds that Romeo, whom she has gone through the night with, has left (Act 3, Scene 5). Because of his misguided judgment, he consents to wed her with Paris, trying to moderate what he supposes is her torment for the loss of Tybalt, and to transform her into "an upbeat lady of the hour."

When Lady Capulet visits her in her room, Juliet causes her to accept that she is for sure weeping for such a feeling loss" and that she also condemns Romeo for the murder, but when her mother asks her to "stop crying" and announces "the joyful tidings" of her imminent marriage with "the gallant, young, and noble gentleman, the County Paris, at Saint Peter’s Church," Juliet will not do it, a lot to the shock of her mom, and the annoyance of her father.
