Answer 2

Well, here's my interpretation of it.

Capulet and Lady have worked really hard to make sure that Juliet marries well. Paris is a good match, being wealthy and respectable. Now, for an undisclosed reason (Juliet does mention something about having rather wed a Montague, but that is more a veiled inside joke than a confession) she throws it in their face and refuses. If you go a little further, you might think that Capulet fears that his daughter will reject any man and end up being a spinster, which would be pretty embarrassing.

Answer 3

ummm because he really wanted Juliet to marry Paris because if she did she would be marrying royalty and they would become more superior than the Montague's. Also Juliet seems to be polite and obedient until she meets romeo so maybe he is angry that she has started to disobey. Her character changes significantly through the story.

Answer 4

foreshadowing, she predicts the death of her lover. JULIET Oh God, I incredibly have a soul that predicts evil issues! Now which you're down there, you look like somebody lifeless in the backside of a tomb. the two my eyesight is failing me, or you look diminished. ROMEO And believe me, love, you look diminished to me too. unhappiness takes away our shade. see you later, see you later!
