What does lady capulet think juliet means when she says the following? i will not marry yet; and, when i do, i swear, it shall be romeo, whom you know i hate, rather than paris (iii. v. 129-131). she thinks that juliet is love with romeo. she thinks that juliet is using romeo to stand for the person she would be least likely to marry. she thinks that juliet will marry paris, but doesn't want to for awhile. she thinks that juliet would rather marry someone she hates than someone she loves.

She thinks that Juliet is using Romeo to stand for the person she would be least likely to marry.

Explanation:

Juliet doesn't want to marry Paris. So she, as a Capulet, uses Romeo as a symbol of someone hateful (because he is a Montague) to make her mother understand that the idea of marrying Paris is so horrible to her that she'd rather be married to a Montague. The audience, though, knows that she secretly loves Romeo.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
