Read the excerpt from act i, scene ii of romeo and juliet. capulet: but saying o’er what i have said before: my child is yet a stranger in the world, she hath not seen the change of fourteen years; let two more summers wither in their pride ere we may think her ripe to be a bride. which is the best paraphrase of capulet’s lines? juliet will marry you after she has had her fourteenth birthday. juliet is old enough to be a wife, and she will be married in the summer. juliet is a stranger to you, so you should get to know each other first. juliet is too young and not ready to be married for another two years.
