How Is Capulet Change In Romeo And Juliet

Even though Lord Capulet, from the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, is trying to do what he thinks is best for Juliet, Lord Capulet starts off as a loving and caring father but slowly graduates into an ignorant and insensitive father because when confronted by Paris, Lord Capulet tells him that Juliet is too young to marry and that in a few years, if she says yes, then it is possible. When Tybalt dies, Capulet moves up the wedding to the upcoming Thursday without Juliet's consent. Lord Capulet loves his daughter but does not know much about her true thoughts or feelings. Because of his ignorance towards her feelings, Juliet starts to resent her father and becomes a disobedient and dishonest daughter. Capulet

He threatens to disown Juliet if she does not marry Paris. In doing that, Lord Capulet isn't thinking for Juliet. He is being selfish. Here are directed quotes. Lord Capulet says “I tell thee what-get thee to church a Thursday or never after.

He has planned for her to get married with Paris. “...Boo woo her, gentle Paris get her heart, My will to her consent is but a part….”. (DBQ: Who's to Blame, Document D). She knows that she cannot get married with him because she is married to Romeo so she says no to her father. Capulet does not take the news well and starts arguing with her. “...But fettle your fine joints ‘gainst Thursday next, To go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church, Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither. Out, you green-sickness carrion! out, you baggage!...”. (DBQ: Who’s to Blame, Document D). He does not want her talking or facing him at all if she does not marry Paris. This is the second time that he promises Paris Juliet’s hand in

Lady Capulet felt that Juliet was coming to the age where she should be married. Lady Capulet is a powerful person and has an inconsistent personality, similar to Lord Capulet. She is cold hearted, and is distant from her daughter and husband. She is very selfish and rarely sees other people's point of views, she is not close to her daughter

Lord Capulet and Paris have some similar opinions of Juliet's marriage and so do Romeo and Friar which also influenced the end of the story negatively. Capulet thinks that Juliet should be married to Paris and Paris agrees with him. “But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart” (1.2.16) and Paris says “Younger than she are happy mothers made” (1.2.12). This means that Capulet is encouraging Paris to get Juliet’s heart and Paris influences him by telling him younger woman than her are married and happy mothers. This determines that the two of them want Juliet to get married to Paris because Capulet tells

Still, Juliet refuses to marry Paris. This outrages Lord Capulet who says, “Hang thee, young baggage, disobedient wretch! / I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday, / Or never after look me in the face” (3.5.166-169). Unlike Lord Capulet’s earlier impressions, he is much more strict here, forcing Juliet to marry Paris or else her father is no longer going to care for

Furthermore, as the play begins to unfold, Lord Capulet undergoes a dramatic shift in behavior. When Juliet refuses to marry Paris, her father becomes outraged. Lord Capulet furiously reprimands Juliet:

Throughout Act I, Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare reveals that Lord Capulet is a respectable and understanding kind of father because he advocates for to Juliet to wait 2 years to get married. Lord Capulet and Paris are talking prior to this scene about Juliet and Paris getting married. Paris wants Juliet to marry him soon where as Lord Capulet wants his daughter to mature and marry in two years. Lord Capulet says “My child is yet a stranger in the world;/ She hath not seen the change of fourteen years,/ Let two more summers wither in their pride" (I.2.8-10) Lord Capulet is worried his daughter won't be able to experience life as a child and that she won't be mature enough to get married and be a mother. Lord Capulet is an understanding

Namely, Capulet plays a huge role in how much pressure Romeo and Juliet have to endure in order to follow their family’s wishes. If Capulet had just agreed to Juliet originally marrying Paris and not said “My child is yet a stranger in the world,/She hath not seen the change of

In the drama of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Lord and Lady Capulet’s fatal flaw of selfishness aids in causing the ending tragedies. This is due to their selfish actions towards Juliet and then the resulting consequences. When Lady Capulet announces to Juliet that she will marry Paris, a man she does not love, Juliet refuses by saying “Not proud you have, but thankful that you have./Proud can I never be of what I hate, /But thankful even for hate that is meant love” (III. v. 164-166). By Juliet simply stating that she doesn’t wish to marry Paris, Lord Capulet is infuriated. He shouts at her: “ To go with Paris to Saint Peter’s church,/ Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither” (III. v. 173-174). By yelling at Juliet for her own decision in the marriage matter, the Capulets’

Capulet does not know that she already when against her wishes and married ,but the problem is that it was an enemy of the house. This action contradicts the role that she was committed to the family but now her spouse is the only one that protects her. The world had other plans. In this story Juliet is contradicting most of the basic roles of her

This shows that Juliet is desperately trying to tell her father what she wants but men didn't really care about women's opinions. Lord Capulet replies with more threats and saying that if Juliet doesn't go to marry Paris next Thursday he will disown her.

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

This sudden change in his decisions causes their family to be tense. Their feud causes Juliet’s mind to scatter again. She doesn’t know what to tell her parents other than a friendly refusal. Capulet’s actions get crazed by Juliet acting this way and gives him feelings and thoughts he’s never had before, such as his fingers itching and the when he would kick her out if she didn’t marry

At the outset, when Capulet is talking about marriage proposals to Paris, he shows his fatherly love and concern for his daughter and her happiness. He doesn’t want to marry her off too early, or force her to marry someone that she doesn’t like. He conveys this by saying, “Earth hath swallowed all my hoped but she… woo her gentle Paris, and her consent is but a part.” This shows that Capulet cares about Juliet because she is the only hope that he has left. He tells Paris to “woo her gently” and not to push, or pressurise Juliet into marrying him, this shows his concern about her. In addition to that, Capulet tells Paris that Juliet’s “consent is but a part” which shows his consideration and trust in Juliet, that she is allowed to have her say in the marriage and that he trusts her to choose the right husband. He also doesn’t want her to marry at such a young age; this is made clear when he says “let two more summers wither in their pride
