Lord Capulet Should Be Punished In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Everyone has their different opinions on who is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is about two people that fall in love from two different families who are in a feud with each other. Lord Capulet is to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because when Romeo was at the Capulet part he didn’t let Tybalt do anything to make Romeo leave. Reason two is he is the one that planned for Juliet to get married to Paris without her consent. The third reason is because after Juliet says okay to marrying Paris (going along with the Friar’s plan), Lord Capulet tries moving the wedding day up to Wednesday instead of Thursday.

Lord Capulet’s firm and merciless control can also be blamed for pushing his daughter to the extreme and ultimately her untimely death. When Juliet refuses to marry Paris, Lord Capulet proves his insensitivity, even threatening to disown his daughter and cast her to the streets if she does not obey his wishes. He warns her that she may “graze where [she] will, [she] will not house with [him]… for, by [his] soul, [he] will ne’er acknowledge [her]” (III v 200-205). These threats instill fear in Juliet, and in her despair, she seeks the advice of Friar Lawrence who gives her a potion that will make it appear as if she is dead the morning of the wedding. Lord Capulet can be blamed for his stubbornness and insensitivity despite his daughter’s sincere requests not to marry Paris.

What if the deaths in the play “Romeo and Juliet” play by William Shakespeare weren’t actually caused by Romeo and Juliet? There are many characters that had an influence on the deaths from behind the scenes. The complications that they made had effects that caused all hope of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship being successful to come crashing down.If that is the case then some of the other characters in the play are directly responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. It could even be someone from the family. If Romeo never knew about or got kicked out of the party then he never would’ve met Juliet in the first place. Tybalt wouldn’t have gotten mad and Juliet would have been okay with Paris marrying her. Lord Capulet is responsible for

He changes his mind very quickly and can flip-flop between what he wants for Juliet. For example, as Paris and Capulet are talking to each other Paris asks Lord Capulet for his permission to marry Juliet. Capulet then replies, “My will to her consent is but a part. And, she agreed, within her scope of choice lies my consent and fair according voice.” (1.2.17-19). In this quote, Lord Capulet is saying that his decision is only a part and if Juliet agrees to marry Paris his blessing will confirm her choice. Soon after Tybalt’s death, Capulet and Paris speak to one another once again. Tybalt suggests marrying Juliet to stop her mourning over the death of her cousin, Tybalt, and Lord Capulet agrees. Once Lord Capulet hears Juliet’s perspective on not marrying Paris he threatens her by saying, “I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday, or never after look me in the face” (3.5.167-168). This quote shows that Lord Capulet is forcing Juliet to marry Paris or else she cannot return back home. He doesn’t listen to Juliet’s opinion and seems to not care if she is happy or not with the marriage. This proves that Lord Capulet is fickle and is most responsible for Juliet’s

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.

The Capulets are not responsible because the Montagues had caused more problems in the story. One of the reasons why you might believe that my family caused the death is because the servant from the beginning of the play asked Romeo to read the invitation. Before the servant could explain that he can not read Lord Capulet and Paris leave. So he did not know that he could not read. Lord Capulet did not ask the servant if he could read before sending him off. Also, Romeo could have chose not to go. He even said that he should not attend because of a dream he had the night before and how it would lead to unfortunate events. But Mercutio persuades him into going and saying how he could find someone else to make him forget about Rosaline. Another issue

It is typical for men to ask the father of the women they wish to marry for approval; sometimes, however, that is not an option. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo Montague wants to marry Juliet Capulet. Being the son of Juliet’s father’s long-time enemy, asking for Lord Capulet’s blessing is not the best choice in Romeo’s eyes. However, if Lord Capulet had known about the secret relationship, Romeo would have been quite surprised with Lord Capulet’s thoughts. Lord Capulet is vocal with his hope for Juliet to marry Count Paris, but unrevealed opinions could have swayed him the other way. Although Lord Capulet pushes for Juliet’s marriage with Paris, his impression of Romeo, his consideration of Juliet’s feelings, and his desire

At first, Lord Capulet wants Juliet to decide if she wants Paris. Then later, Capulet wants cheer Juliet up, after her cousin Tybalt dies. He decides to arrange a marriage between her and Paris. Juliet is actually more upset over her husband, Romeo, for being banished. Later, Lady Capulet breaks the news to Juliet about her marriage to Paris and Juliet is very unhappy. Lady Capulet tells Lord Capulet about her reaction and he gets very angry. Capulet gets into a big argument with Juliet. He threatens Juliet that she will marry Paris or die on the streets ( Act III, Scene V, Lines 160 - 195). Juliet’s parents and even her servant, who helped marry Romeo, really want her to marry Paris. Juliet, becoming desperate to stop her marriage, goes to Friar Lawrence and they make up a risky plan. This plan ultimately leads to her and Romeo’s

Lord capulet, who was juliet’s father was very unsupporting.After the death of Tybalt lord Capulet thought something happy should occur in this family. Lord Capulet and his wife, Lady Capulet, promised Paris Juliet’s hand in marriage. Lord Capulet wanted to disown on Juliet when she had told that she had no intention in marrying Paris. For example, “Hang thee...hilding!”. (3.5, 180-189). Lord Capulet was being very unsupportive of his daughter's desires. If he had not forced Juliet to marry Paris, then Juliet would not have had to find a way out of the marriage. In the end when Romeo and Juliet are found dead, Lady MOntague is also dead, because of her son Romeo. Lord Capulet could have prevented the death of Romeo, Juliet and Lady

One reason why Lord Capulet should be punished is because he threatened to disown his daughter, Juliet, if she didn’t marry Paris. “I tell thee what- get thee to church a Thursday/ Or never after look me in the face” (III.v.161-162). The next reason Lord Capulet should be punished is because he was the reason Juliet took the potion to get out of the marriage. Juliet took the potion because she did not want to marry Paris, but she was forced to marry him so the only way out of the marriage was to make herself look dead. If Lord capulet would have let Juliet not marry Paris, then she would not have faked her death, see Romeo dead when she woke up, then kill herself in return. Because Lord Capulet forced his daughter into marriage, he should be

Who Is Responsible for the Deaths of Romeo and Juliet? Why do people who mean well end up doing the opposite? William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet demonstrates how good intentions can lead to calamity. The impulsive behaviour of Mercutio, the selfishness of Lord Capulet, the lack of communication and the spontaneous action of Friar Lawrence are causes of Romeo and Juliet’s death. Though these characters all strived to do what they thought was best for the two lovers, their good intentions misguided Romeo and Juliet leading them to a death that could have been avoided.

Old Capulet should be punished. Old Capulet is forcing Juliet to Marry Paris against her will. “I think she will be ruled/ In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not” (Shakespeare 111.vi.13-14). This quote shows that he should be punished because he is telling Paris that she will respect him and do anything he says. The next reason Old Capulet should be punished is… Old Capulet is Disowning Juliet when she will not marry Paris. “I tell thee what- get thee to church a Thursday/Or never after look me in the face”(Shakespeare III.v 161-162). Old Capulet is making her go away if she does not marry someone he wants, but she does not.

He forced Juliet to marry Paris or he would never speak to her. “Hang thee young baggage, disobent wretch! I tell thee what- get thee to church Thursday or never after look me in the face” (III.v.160-163). This example shows that he’s forcing Juliet to do something she doesn’t want to and if he didn’t force her she wouldn’t have went to Friar Lawrence. That is one reason another reason is. He’s the one that Juliet got and drank the poison. Juliet would have never wanted to die then making her to Friar Lawrence who gave her the poison. This shows he should be punished because if he didn’t push her she would have never been so upset to want to leave then its more than likely Juliet and Romeo would just have ran away together and then both families would have their children still. That is why I think that its best that Lord Capulet should get

Small to big ones, decisions are to be made in your life which then can be held responsible for your actions. However, when hasty decisions are made in desperate and despairing times it can hurt even the ones you love the most. A tragedy written by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet shows how one’s decision may cause a major damage to other people and their lives. Lord Capulet is a very hostile being who wants the best for his daughter, but shows his feelings towards her by being aggressive and forcing her to marry a man who she does not love, and by making Tybalt enfeebled during his party. Because of his short-tempered, antagonistic personality, Lord Capulet makes poor decisions that lead to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

In the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, Lord Capulet is the most responsible for the death of Romeo and Juliet because in III.iv, Capulet gives consent and plans Juliet and Paris’ wedding day, which regrettably resulted in a horrible chain of events that resulted in her and Romeo’s death. “Acquaint her here of my son Paris’ love and bid her on Wednesday next” (III.iv). Capulet is saying that Juliet will marry Paris and that she has no say in the decision; Juliet refuses at first but ultimately agrees to her marriage with Paris, but secretly seeks a way out by planning to fake her death. Capulet’s actions to move Juliet’s wedding day up contribute to the deaths because he made decisons that were the best for himself without
