Capulet sets the wedding date

Scene summary

In the Capulet house, late at night, Capulet and Paris talk. Capulet says there was no time to speak with his daughter, who is grieving for Tybalt, but he feels sure she will obey him. He sets the wedding with Paris for Thursday, in a small feast out of respect for the dead man, and tells his wife to inform Juliet before she goes to sleep.
