In the play Romeo and Juliet, I feel like Capulet is being too ridiculous. He is forcing her to marry Paris even though she's already married to Romeo. I mean it's only been a couple of days since Tybalt's death and now Capulet wants to have a wedding. At first Capulet said (1, 2, 10) "My child is yet a stranger in the world. She hath not seen the change of fourteen years.” He didn't really want her to get married because she was only 13 years old. Now he's forcing her to get married to Paris. In lines (3, 4, 25) " Monday ha ha! well, Wednesday is too soon. O'Thursday let it be." Capulet said while talking to Paris. I don't think a marriage after a death is a good idea because something sad just happened and they are having a wedding
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
Lord Capulet tells Paris that he will let him marry Juliet, only if she agrees. Juliet is allowed to have a say in who she wishes to marry, but now that she is in love with Romeo, it must be kept
Teen Rebellion is a common theme throughout movies, literature, and song lyrics. Teen rebellion is a normal action through teen years. Teen rebellion is caused by wanting to prove a point and a craving for freedom. During teenage years you always want prove a point weather to an authority figure or even to yourself. Also teens are growing into adults and tend to grave freedom. In Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet” both Romeo and Juliet rebel against their families. The two families of Romeo and Juliet are the most bitter enemies and only care for murdering the other family. Romeo of the Montagues and Juliet of the Capulets are now falling in love with each other but know that the war being families will be a complication to their love. Romeo
Juliet is Lord Capulet’s only daughter and only child, making him really strict about who she marries. At first, Lord Capulet gave Juliet the choice of whether she wanted to marry Paris or not. Lord Capulet thought that Paris would be a great man for his only daughter to marry because of his social status, his wealth, and his relation to the Prince. Later in the play, without regard to Juliet’s feelings Lord Capulet forced Juliet to marry Paris and when Juliet disagreed, he yelled at her,“Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!/ I tell thee what: get thee to church o' Thursday,/Or never after look me in the face” (3.5 160-162). Lord Capulet hates the Montagues, Juliet could not have told him that she was already married to his enemy’s son. Lord Capulet in this quote gave Juliet an ultimatum: either she marries Paris or he disowns her. Because Lord Capulet said this and made the decision that Juliet will marry Paris, Juliet went to the Friar to find a solution. The solution that ended up with her in the tomb where she killed herself. Tybalt was Lord Capulet’s nephew, his death made Lord Capulet emotional and caused his outburst at Juliet. Before being in grief, Lord Capulet thought that Juliet was too young to be married. Nonetheless his emotions and rash decisions led to his daughter’s death. After Tybalt’s death and Romeo’s banishment, Juliet was extremely depressed and would not stop crying. Thinking that it was only because of Tybalt’s death that Juliet is so upset, Lord Capulet changed the wedding date: “I’ll have this knot knit up [Wednesday] morning” (4.2 21-22). Friar Lawrence scheduled the plan to happen on Thursday, but since the wedding was moved up a day, it was ruined. Romeo did not receive the letter explaining the plan in time because there was not enough time to deliver it. Instead, Romeo was told that Juliet was dead from Balthasar. Because Romeo could not live without
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
Consequently, Capulet changes his mind about Juliet’s marriage with Paris and states, “ Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender of my child’s love: I think she will be ruled… Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed; Acquaint her here of my son Paris love: and bid her mark you me, on Wednesday next--... Wednesday is too soon, O’ Thursday let it be: O thursday, tell her, she shall be married to this noble early…” (3.5). Capulet is now rushing Juliet’s marriage with Paris, putting Juliet in a situation she has no control off, Juliet made it clear that she has no interest in
Many teenagers make bad decisions, and act in a way most adult would say is unintelligent. Romeo and Juliet was a story about two feuding families with the same wealth living in Verona. After a big fight Prince Escalus tells them that if there is another fight they will be killed. Later that night Romeo meets Juliet at her father’s party and they both fall in love, after the party Romeo talks with Juliet about getting married and she agrees to have the wedding the very next day. After the wedding the two families get into another fight. Due to the fight Mercutio and Tybalt gets killed. Romeo who was also fighting was sentenced to banishment even
Romeo and Juliet was a classic romance novel about passion, love and tragedy, written and first acted in 1595. According to Alan Durband, many versions of Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet all relate to Shakespeare's understanding of early life in Verona. Romeo, a Montague, falls in love with Juliet, a Capulet, because he is romantically inclined. The Capulets and Montagues are feuding households His impulsivity caused a lot of people to die and experience emotional pain. Falling in love with Juliet was the event that started a chain reaction.
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
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
Lord Capulet believes he is doing what is right, yet again, when he gives Juliet’s hand to Paris. Paris approaches him that night and Capulet says “A Thursday, let it be. A Thursday, tell her,/She shall be married to this noble earl” (Shakespeare 3.4:20-21). Capulet had explained how he didn’t know if Juliet had wanted to marry Paris, but he gave her away anyway since he thought it would improve her spirits, and that she would listen simply since Lord Capulet is her father. When Juliet refuses, though, Lord Capulet loses all composure.
Frequently, parents believe they know what is best for their children. However, that is not always the case. In the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare explores the theme that aggressive control can lead to rebellious behavior through Lord Capulet's actions. At the beginning of the story, an arranged marriage is set between Juliet and someone whom she does not love, which causes argumentative and disobedient outbursts. Lord Capulet displayed that he was not in favor of Juliet rejecting the arranged marriage.
A common theme throughout “Bee Movie” and “Romeo and Juliet” is teenage rebellion. In both movies the main characters run away to be with someone they like and love. In my opinion, most teenagers rebel for their rights. The reason is because parents don’t understand why their kids rebel. In the “Bee Movie” Barry B. Benson gets freed by a human named Vanessa and he falls in love with her(Smith).
Despite Lord Capulet accepting Paris’s marriage proposal, he believes that Juliet
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
