Act 3, Scene 5: A Clashing of Juliet's Worlds

Prompt C:
I chose the quote where Juliet says, "My husband is on earth, my faith in heaven. How shall that faith return again to earth, Unless that husband send it me from heaven." This quote really shows how Juliet is torn between two different worlds, one where she makes her family happy, and the other where she is happy with Romeo. It also shows how Juliet feels she is doomed. I was surprised that Juliet felt so doomed, when I thought that the obvious choice for her would be to marry Paris, since it holds a much brighter future. Also, she already said goodbye to Romeo for a very long time, and if she didn't expect to see him for a long time, why not marry Paris?
