Oh, what a horrible sight that was! Poor little Juliet commanded to marry Paris. There wasn’t one day whither I’ve seen Juliet upset her parents. And my God, I’ve tactically raised her. If’t be true only Juliet was my daughter, would I have been understanding of her desires. Juliet has done nothing to disappoint Lord and Lady Capulet. Once Lord Capulet hath raised his voice against Juliet’s, thee could practically see how shocked and frightened Juliet was. I couldn’t bear the pain of watching my child getting threatened, so I tried intervening. Almost instantly, Master attacked me and told me not to receiveth in between important matters with his daughter and that gent. At that point, I’ve hath felt just as weak as Juliet. Lord Capulet told
In the beginning of the story, the Montagues and Capulets break out fighting in the middle of the street and they are told to stop their fighting or the punishment will be death. Soon after the fight, Capulet
Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.” By saying this, it is clear how much Capulet cherishes Juliet. He is risking a rich suitor, to let Juliet become more mature before she marries. By speaking in prose Shakespeare shows Capulet’s class and authority, nevertheless, it also shows the sincerity of his love for Juliet. However the nurse also shows the love of a parent, she
As she was a mother-figure and confidante to Juliet, immense trust and guidance was expected of her. She however, destroyed this bond by referring to Juliet?s only love as a ?dishclout? and advising her that she ?thinks it best you married the county?, for he ?excels your first?. This then, results in Juliet alienating herself from her adviser-?thou and my bosom henceforth shall be twain?- and in due course killing herself.
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
People of Verona, I, Lady Capulet, have been accused of negligence as my role as a mother. And today I stand before you to plead that I am not guilty of that crime because of the time-honored tradition of our mothers, I have provided a nurse to look after my daughter which her and Friar Lawrence both kept secrets from both Montague and Capulet families, furthermore providing Juliet with a good man that is stable to look after both his and our families and how that pitiful Romeo
Loved ones, I welcome you all to this sorrowful place, to say goodbye to my beloved daughter, Juliet. If Juliet was here with us today, she would be more than overwhelmed with the audience attending her funeral. Standing here before you today is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. Words cannot describe the sorrow and loss I am feeling. Juliet was my wife and I’s dearest, only child. She meant the world to us. A very obedient child, yet extremely strong in her dedication to love, rarely disobeying our wishes, only once... For her darling husband Romeo.
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
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.
Juliet is not unlike the typical young women constantly struggling to find happiness and acceptance from those who are closest to her. Young Juliet must confront the harsh reality that exists between her and those who profess to be her friends and family, which is they failed to support her, love her, and lift her up with she needed it most. In the timeless book, “Romeo & Juliet” William Shakespeare writes a moving story about the betrayal, disappointment, love, and eventual death of Romeo and Juliet. No reader can truly appreciate and understand the level of Juliet’s struggles without first understanding the roles the Lord Capulet, Friar Lawrence and Romeo, their betrayal and their role in her faithful decision.
After her speech, he goes straight to business face. If I directed a play of this, then I would direct the person playing Lord Capulet to walk around and talk to himself about random things like caterer, flowers, place, etc… and then start talking about his rewards because, as it says above, all he cares about is what is in it for him.
It's sad to say goodbye to our fair and sweetest lady, Juliet Capulet, and her prince, Romeo Montague. But things have to change. These two innocent people died because of your bickering and fighting. Why do you always have to fight? Why can't you just get along?
CAPULET Calm down, you’re getting too angry. MR. CAPULET

When, told by her parents that she is betrothed Paris she just polity declines instead of telling the truth that she is married, therefore can not marry Paris. Then, Juliet’s parents do not listen to her. This
Things start to get ugly when, her parents force Paris upon Juliet causing her to freak out more. Juliet says “O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris (act 4, scene 1, line 79)”, Meaning she would rather die than marry Paris. When her parents tell her no to Romeo and automatically tell her to marry Paris, it’s too much on her causing the reactions. This shows that parents should prevent and not choose.
