Lord Capulet's Reputation In 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.

This does not allow Juliet to make her own decision. An example of this is when Lady Capulet reinforces the plan in which Paris would be Juliet's husband, rather than letting Juliet choose who she marries. Lady Capulet speaks for Juliet when she says “marry, my child, early next Thursday morn.” Having little to no knowledge aforetime about this news, Juliet is utterly astonished. Lady Capulet continues by saying “[the] young and noble gentleman, the county Paris... shall happily make thee there a joyful bride” (III.v.112-115). After having already prepared her life with Romeo, Juliet is in disbelief that her mother would not attempt to step into her father's plan. Juliet lashes back at her mother by saying “I will not marry yet” and threatening that she would marry Romeo “whom you know I hate” rather than Paris (III.v.115-122). The lack of communication between the two characters makes them distant from one another, and the little effort provided by Lady Capulet to approach her daughter is the main reason for this occurrence. The control Lady Capulet has over different characters and her

Juliet and her father definitely had different ideas about her future relationships in this play. Back in that time period, the father of the family was the one who made important decisions for their children, which included who his daughter was allowed to get married to, even if they opposed their preference. So, in the play, Lord Capulet gives his approval to a man named Paris to marry his daughter because he had a promising future and was very prosperous and could provide Juliet with anything she might require. Although she had this option of spouse, she chose

As a woman, Lady Capulet can relate to how Juliet feels when she is told she is to marry Paris. However, as a wife, she cannot voice an opinion of who or when Juliet is to marry. She is experienced, and asks Juliet, "Speak briefly: can you like of Paris’ love" (1.3.98). Because she is the caretaker, she respects Juliet’s feelings, but she can do nothing, even if Juliet does not learn to love Paris. Perhaps she asks this question because her own mother never asked it. She may want to know her daughter’s opinion, because until a woman is married, she has all the rights of a man according to Pitt. However, the father ruled over his daughter, and it was virtually impossible to remain unmarried while the father held all the decision making (14).

“Thus with a kiss I die.”(5.3.120). This is a quote from the play whenever Romeo gives Juliet a kiss before drinking poison to kill himself. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Nurse, Friar Lawrence, and Lord Capulet should all be punished.

Even Capulet himself is not that upset by the fact that Romeo is at the party. He states on line 66 of the same scene, "Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone... And, to say truth, Verona brags of him To be a virtuous and well governed youth. I would not for the wealth of all this town Here in my house do him disparagement. " Even these comments by Capulet do not lessen Tybalt's hatred of Romeo.

To start off, Capulet, Juliet’s father, is introduced as a thoughtful and caring character but ends up giving Juliet the false pretence that he values her thoughts and opinions. In scene two, when he is offered a proposal for Juliet's hand in marriage, he replies saying “My will to her consent is but a part; / An she agree, within her scope of choice / Lies my consent and fair according voice.” (1.2.17-19), which indicates how he values Juliet’s choices. Though Paris is of a high status of power, Capulet is more concerned about Juliet’s happiness, with her being his only heir, than power at this point. Further on, there is a change of heart situated in Capulet. Previously he has made it clear that Juliet has a final say in marriage, but Capulet

"This is thy sheath. There rust and let me die" (Act 5, Scene 3, Page 8, Line 184). In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Lord Capulet and Friar Laurence is involved with the deaths of Romeo and Juliet both physically and mentally. Lord Capulet forces Juliet to marry Paris the "next day", making Juliet think about suicidal thoughts. Friar Laurence marries Juliet and Romeo together even though he knows about their family's feud. Friar also tells Juliet about a plan, that directly leads to both of their deaths. Lord Capulet and Friar Laurence are responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.

Shakespeare is saying that two families which we know from reading the story are the Montagues and Capulets. They are both similar in many ways. They have equally high reputations in the City of Verona so therefore they are equally respected. We can tell from this that the play takes place in the city of Verona and based on further explanation we know that Verona was a city in Italy. We also can tell from the prologue that the two families hold a grudge between the other and this is a long occurring event as everyone from the families despises the other aside from Romeo and Juliet. We already know that they are well respected in the city of Verona so they probably fall under the rich. Knowing this we can say that their reputation is of the

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

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.

Paris makes his first appearance in Act I, Scene II, where he expresses his wish to make Juliet his wife and the mother of his children. Capulet demurs, citing his daughter's young age as a reason and telling him to wait until she is more mature. (Paris disagrees, however.) Nevertheless, Capulet invites Paris to attend a family ball being held that evening and grants permission to woo and attract Juliet. Later in the play, however, Juliet refuses to become Paris' "joyful bride" after her cousin Tybalt dies by her new husband Romeo's hand, proclaiming that she now wants nothing to do with Paris.

Paris knows Juliet does not wish to marry him, yet this only makes him more determined to marry her as he sees Juliet as a prize, to show his superiority over everyone else. In today’s society, we would view Lord Capulet as a cold, unfeeling father because of the way he treats his daughter, but Lord Capulet is a prime example of Shakespearian fathers. His only wish is to make a good marriage for his daughter, but she rejects his help. Capulet doesn’t know Juliet has fallen for Romeo and so cannot be expected to understand why she doesn’t wish to marry Paris.

In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Lady Capulet and the Nurse are responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because Lady Capulet is pragmatic and the Nurse is irresponsible.
