And during the play his youth shows in the beginner\u2019s mistake of consistently courting the father (textbook diplomacy) rather than the bride herself (as experience prescribes). A mistake that old Capulet already anticipates at the first negotiations in scene 1 ; 2, and tries to prevent with some sound advice. When Paris finally meets Juliet on stage (in scene 4 ; 1), he behaves in consequence as if he never wooed a woman in his life. And that with being exactly told by Old Capulet how to proceed. Don\u2019t think less of his love for Juliet though ; her death genuinely strikes Paris down, but, mourning at the Capulet tomb, he does not so much behave like a grieving lover, than like a teenager\u2019s perception of a grieving lover. Seconds later he apprehends an armed murderer with all a swordsman\u2019s courage, and a fatal blindness to danger. Which flaw accounts for ignoring his opposer\u2019s warning signs while he displays the moral superiority that the situation prescribes, with a pomp that would enrage a much less volatile character than Romeo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Clowne<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elizabethanpartsongs.nl\/wordpress\/shakespeare-1616-2016\/the-first-night-of-romeo-juliet\/presenting-the-lord-chamberlains-boys-and-men\/william-kempe\/\">William Kempe<\/a> (*unknown ; past 30)<br \/>\nThe 1623 Folio marks at one occasion the entrance of the nurse\u2019s man (Peter) with \u2018Enter Kempe\u2019.
