Answer
8. Capulet changes his mind about Paris's proposal because he believes that Juliet is too young to get married and wants her to wait two more years. Juliet reacts by refusing to marry Paris and pleading with her father to not force her into a marriage she does not want.
9. Agree. Capulet shows his love for Juliet throughout the play, such as when he arranges the marriage to Paris because he believes it will make her happy, or when he becomes angry with her for refusing to marry Paris because he believes it will bring shame to the family. Additionally, in Act IV, Scene II, Capulet stays up all night preparing for Juliet's wedding, showing his dedication to her happiness.
