Lady Capulet Monologue

Our ancient grudge is over but unfortunately many lives have been lost leading up to this moment and I feel responsible for that. I do not think that I will ever be able to forget the fact that I played a role in losing my own child. The earth hath swallowed my last hope and I am partially to blame. But I know Juliet would not want this. Juliet would hate the idea that we were blaming ourselves for this tragedy because that is the kind of person she was, modest and

The Capulets are one of the responsible ones for the death of Romeo and Juliet because they weren’t supportive, they were uncaring, and impatient. When Juliet told her parents that she did not want to marry Paris, the Capulets wanted to disown her. “Hang thee, young baggage! Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what: get thee to church o ' 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!” (3:5:170). Capulet was being unsupportive of his own daughters decision. If he did not force her to marry Paris, then Juliet would not have to come up with a way to get out of the marriage. Lady Capulet does not support her own daughter either. “Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word. Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee.” (3.5.215) Lady Capulet stopped caring about what her daughter wanted. If she had listened to Juliet, hen Juliet would have not planned a way out of the wedding. Lady Capulet did not take Juliets feeling into consideration and forced her to finding a

Lady Capulet's inattentiveness and neglect for Juliet is why she is viewed as a poor mother figure. We can see from the story that she does

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.

In Act 1, scene ii. Capulet appeared to be a kind hearted man and he defers to Juliet’s ability to choose for herself, “My will to her concent is but a part” (I.ii.15). Juliet’s mother, Lady Capulet also has an influence over Juliet and her life and puts pressure on Juliet to marry Paris (the suitor that her father picked for her to marry). Juliet admits the power of the influence of her parents when she says of Paris, “I look to like, looking liking move; / But no more deep will I endart mine eye / Than your consent gives strength to fly” (I.iii.100-101). The specter of parental influence is very evident in this scene and it shows the influence of the society that they lived in.

There are three characters in the story of Romeo and Juliet that take some and most of the blame on the death of the two Romeo and Juliet. Two of the characters take some of the blame while the third character takes all of the blame. The two characters that take some of the blame are Lady Capulet And Lord Capulet. Lady Capulet is married to Lord Capulet and have a daughter named Juliet. The third person that takes most of the blame for their death is not a person at all. It is fate. These three characters are the reason why Romeo and Juliet take their lives. ("DBQ: Romeo and Juliet: Who's to Blame". Doc.B,A,D)

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

Taking Responsibility for the Deaths of Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

Some may say Capulet wouldn’t have been the only one to protest Romeo and Juliet’s marriage, but he had the final say in Juliet’s life. Lord Capulet, “Send for the county.; Go tell him of this. I’ll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.”(IV. ii. 21-22) If Lord Capulet never moved up the wedding, there would have been more time for the news to travel to Romeo. Many people argue that he was doing it for right reasons, that his decision was for the better of the family and he did it unintentionally, but it was still his fault for forcing this marriage so suddenly on Juliet. It is Lord Capulets fault because he is too protective over Juliet. Some people may say Juliet could have just stood up to her father and tell him straight forward how she wanted to marry Romeo and not Paris, however, he was just so overbearing and possessive, she was too nervous to come forward and say it. Lord Capulet. “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee to a church Thursday or never after look at me in the face.” (III. v. 180-183) By Lord Capulet being so strict with Juliet, moving up the wedding, and being too protective, Juliet was forced to make up an incredibly dangerous plan, leading to the young couple committing suicide.

Juliet’s parents seem to not care about Juliet at all, they only care about keeping their families pride. In the book Juliet admits that she does not want to marry Paris and if her parents had actually listened to her she wouldn’t have wanted to figure out a way to leave the wedding. Capulet seemed to want the best for his daughter, but she didn't want to marry somebody she wasn’t in love with. and wanted to escape the marriage her father organized. But her plan of escape would result in death. Capulet's uncaring actions appeared in the first act, when he was planning a marriage between his daughter and Paris without her agreeing. Capulet also states "Of my child's love: I think she will be ruled. In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not" (Shakespeare p. 79), that translates to “I think she’ll do whatever I say. No, I think she’ll do all that and more. I have no doubt about it”, which can seem a bit controlling. But, both Juliet’s and Romeo’s families can be responsible of their deaths because the tension caused between their families brought friction to Romeo and Juliet's decisions of who they love. Just as the Prince had blamed the families of Romeo and Juliet for their

Romeo who was not informed of the Friar’s plan, commits suicide when he sees Juliet unconscious. Juliet arises and sees Romeo dead and takes her own life. The Friar is overpowered by guilt and realizes that he has “...a short date of breath” (Act 5 Scene 3 229). If the Friar was not the reason for two suicides he would have no reason to feel guilty. It is obvious that the Friar is the one to blame. It is clear to see the cause of Juliet’s end after being forced to marry someone she did not love and then separated by someone she did, not to mentioned being rejected by her own father. It is near to complete ignorance not to be able to condemn Capulet for the loss of Juliet. His relationship with his daughter was one that did not operate correctly, causing pain and suffering for everyone, including friends and foes. Separating two lovers from each other was a dangerous act that influenced

I need some advice about my family situations and how I can deal with the problem that i have about loving who. I love 2 people but I don’t know which one is better for me. Their names are jamarcus, he's a montague and Isaac, he is Capulet. My Nurse, well you see I don’t want her to know about these boys because I’m afraid that she will spread rumors to everyone in this town.

When Juliet refuses to marry Paris, a prince, Capulet becomes extremely angry. He storms into Juliet’s room and verbally abuses her in front of her nurse as well as her mother. Capulet tells Juliet that if she does not marry Paris she will be disowned and discarded into the streets to fend for herself. This is extremely significant because if Capulet had decided to consult and listen to Juliet’s views on the prince before granting Paris permission to marry his daughter Juliet would have not felt forced to take the sleeping potion which eventually caused the death of not only Juliet, but Romeo as well resulting in a ripple effect. Both Friar Lawrence and Capulet can be blamed for the death of Romeo and Juliet due to the fact that they both did not seem to consider the possible consequences of their wrongfully done

While it might seem that everybody is at fault for the death of Romeo and Juliet, I believe that Lord Capulet played a big part in this. Some people think that Paris should be blamed, for loving Juliet and wanting to marry her, but, you can’t control love and nobody should be blamed for loving someone. He likes a girl, so of course he will try to be with her. On the other hand, it was Lord Capulet who agreed to this marriage and forced his young daughter to marry Paris. “How, how, how, how? Chopped logic? What is this? ‘Proud’ and ‘I thank you’ and ‘I thank you not’ and yet ‘not proud’? Mistress minion you, Thank me for no thankings nor proud me no prouds,

In spite of Lady Capulet and Lord Capulet wishing the best for their daughter, they make extreme life choices for Juliet against her will. As when Lady Capulet insists that Juliet marries Paris,” Marry my child, early next Thursday morn” (Act 3 Scene 5 Line 113). It is important to realize Juliet does not wish to marry Paris since she has already said her vows to another, Romeo. So, since Lady Capulet will not listen to Juliet’s declination, Juliet looks to father for support. Alternatively, Lord Capulet threatens to disown Juliet,” Graze where you will, you shall not house with me” (Act 3 Scene 5 Line190). Lord Capulet’s action demoralizes Juliet leaving her with no one to
