Discuss the Importance of Act Three, Scene 5. How Does Shakespeare Use Dramatic Devices in Order to Make It Such an Interesting and Important Scene?

This is Capulet's response for Juliet saying no. He gives her consequences if she doesn't go through with the marriage. Capulet believed that his daughter was disobeying his orders.

He portays a typical man in Verona. As the man, and therefore the head, of the Capulet household he is supposed to make a decision about when and who Juliet will marry. Juliet is meant to obey him and do what he expects. Therefore when she confesses she will not marry Paris and thereby disobeys him he loses his temper and tells Juliet that if she doesn’t get married to Paris he does not want to see Juliet anymore. He takes it even further and insults Juliet by saying :”Wife, we scarce thought us blest That God had lent us but this only child. But now see this one is one too much, And that we have a curse in having her.”

Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, tells the tale of two young lovers whose lives end in great tragedy. What makes their story so tragic is that despite their love for one another, their families are mortal enemies. Conflict is a central ingredient in Romeo and Juliet's sad fate. Although their love for each other is strong, it cannot overcome the deluge of conflict that surrounds them. Ultimately they are defeated by the conflicts of person vs person, person vs self, and person vs society.

Lord Capulet is very concerned that his daughter is too young to be married. He believes that she is still naive and has not adequately experienced enough in the world to be a great bride. For this reason, Lord Capulet denied Paris’ request in marriage. This demonstrates that Lord Capulet was protective of his daughter, and acts accordingly for the sake of her well-being. Juliet affirms her father’s decision, and in this way, allowing her to be obedient and loving to him. Lord Capulet’s responsible actions please Juliet to become obedient.

After hearing about Romeo's banishment, Juliet becomes distressed, and locks herself in her room. Old Capulet converses with Paris about her change in heart, and converses with him about the details of the wedding. However, once Capulet tells Juliet about the upcoming wedding, Juliet refuses to marry Paris, causing Capulet

Lord Capulet told Juliet that if she didn’t marry Paris that he would disown her and make her live on the streets to fend for herself and because Lord Capulet was so overbearing, she was nervous and didn’t say anything of being with

home, he is so taken with Juliet he must return. He climbs the Capulet's wall and sneaks up to

This sort of behaviour is to be expected from Lord Capulet, because he feels he has done an excellent job in securing his daughter’s future with a perfect husband, and now Juliet is throwing his best efforts in his face. He highlights how hard he has worked in finding an

However, Juliet starts to show strength and intelligence that can be interpreted as a sort of passive resistance that at the end of the play ends her life. In Act II, scene iv, Juliet goes against the wishes of her father and marries Romeo. The morning after their wedding night Juliet learns that her father has moved the day of her wedding with Paris to Thursday in an attempt to make Juliet happy and to try and get her to stop mourning her cousin Tybault’s death. (Romeo killed Tybault the night of their wedding in his friend Mercutio’s honor.) Juliet is appalled and rejects this by saying, “I will not marry yet; and when I do, I swear /

Capulet will go to extreme measures to do what he thinks is right for his daughter. Capulet thinks that it is inevitable for Juliet to marry Paris and goes as far as saying “I’ll tell you what: get to church on Thursday, or never look me in the face again. Don’t say anything! Don’t reply! Don’t answer me back! My fingers are itching! Wife, we thought we were very lucky that God gave us this only child – but now I realize that this one is one too many and we’ve been cursed in having her! To blazes with her, the worthless creature!” (185). In his rant he fails to realize that this is truly not what Juliet wants and that this is not what’s best for her. The only thing in the way of Juliet marring Paris is that she secretly loves Romeo and is waiting for the day that she reunites with him and they live happily ever after. This rant by Lord Capulet turns Juliet against her father and shows the readers that Lord Capulet is not the loving father he once was. Later in the play, Juliet is found dead because of Lord Capulet’s insensitivity and ignorance towards her

He threatens to disown Juliet if she refuses Paris; ‘hang, beg, starve, die in the streets,/For, by my soul I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee,’ before he finally storms out. Tearfully distraught, Juliet begs her mother to: ‘delay this marriage for a month, a week…’, but Lady Capulet remains unmoved, declaring: ‘I have done with thee.’

A: He gives her an ultimatum: either marry Paris on Thursday, or get kicked out of thehouse and never see her father again.

He is surprised and has a hard time speaking and wants to bawl but he stands strong. Furthermore, he is also quite disappointed because the Capulet heir has passed away and now Juliet has married death. A quote explaining the details is “Death is my son-in-law, Death is my heir; My daughter he hath wedded. I will die And leave him all. Life, living all is Death’s” (5, 4. 46-48).What Lord Capulet means by this is that when he passes away, all of the Capulet name will be left to no one because no one is able to carry on the Capulet name now that Juliet has died. In Summary, Lord Capulet is heartbroken because no one will be able to carry on the Capulet name and it will end with him.

Lord Capulet was trying to force Juliet to marry Paris when she didn’t want to. He was calling her all these names when he found out that she didn’t want to marry him. Lord Capulet wanted to do what would make him happy. “Sir Paris, I will make a desperate of my child’s love. I think she will be ruled in all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not. Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed, acquaint her here of my son Paris’ love, and bid her- make you me? – on Wednesday next- but soft – what day is this?This quote is showing that Lord Capulet will do anything to make him and his friends happy and not think about how Juliet will feel. He is saying to Paris that he can marry Juliet that week. In addition to this, Lord Capulet makes many mistakes during the whole play. Lady Capulet just told Juliet about how her and Paris are getting married that Thursday. Juliet didn’t like is and she told Lord Capulet about it. “Hang thee young baggage, disobedient wretch! I tell thee what – get thee to church a Thursday or never after look me in the face. Speak not, reply not, do not answer me. My fingers itch. Wife, we scarce thought us blest. That God had lent us but this only child; But now I see this one is one too much, And that we have a curse in having her. Out on her, hilding. In this quote, Lord Capulet it threatening to kick Juliet out if she isn’t at a church on Thursday. He is forcing

Lord Capulet is the head of the Capulet household and Juliet’s father. He seems to be an honorable and tolerant man; he does not mind Romeo’s
