Romeo and Paris have not only things in common, there are also differences between the two. Romeo changes his mind fast, that’s easily seen when Romeo is one day totally in love with Rosaline but the next day, actually the same night he is totally in love with Juliet. Paris on the other hand is constantly in love with Juliet, and doesn’t give up on her. Paris is also decent, he asks Lord Capulet polite if he can marry his loved-daughter. Romeo didn’t share his feelings for Juliet to anyone but Juliet and Friar Lawrence, the fact that he had contact with Juliet was only known by Romeo and his friends, Juliet the Nurse and Friar Lawrence.

The couples from these plays are very closely similar to each other in nearly all aspects, from the broad picture that they both are deeply in love with their significant other, down to the minute details, such as the females' fathers at first were against the marriage of their daughters to Othello or Claudio. In both plays, Shakespeare even went so far as to depict both Othello and Claudio as high-ranking soldiers on temporary leave from military duties. However, Othello and Claudio are different in many minor facets, such as Othello is a Christian Moor, is already married to Desdemona, and is much more extreme in his actions, while Claudio falls in love with Hero while the play is commencing and eventually marries her at the end, and does not go as far as to kill his significant other over jealousy.
