You can consider Romeo in that Juliet wants to be with him yet her father demands that she be with Paris. Conversely you might consider Paris who is the person she is supposed to marry when she does not want to. Capulet is also a major source of grief to Juliet with his threats to disown her if she does not comply with his wishes.
