Capulet, the father of the victim Juliet, played a role in Romeo and Juliet’s death because of his hatred for Romeo’s family, which made it necessary for the lovers to keep their relationship a secret and that kept them apart.

The overflow of his fame on the Continent in later years was but the sequel of the flood of the Renaissance in Western Europe. He was the child of that great movement, and marks its height as it penetrated the North with civilization” (“George Edward Woodberry Quote”). The Renaissance, as Woodberry stated within his quote, would not have been as popular if it was not for William Shakespeare. He is a crucial part of the Renaissance. Not only did Shakespeare have an impact on the Renaissance, social class did as well.

In Juliet's first meeting with her mother and the nurse, she seems to be an obedient and responsible child. She comes immediately when they call her and answers always respectfully to her mother: "Madam, I am here, / What is your will?" (“Act 1, Scene 3).

Imperialism is a policy of extending a country’s power and influence through either diplomacy or military force.
