When this was done Lord Capulet said “Send for the county. Go tell him of this. I’ll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.”(Act 4 Scene 2) Lady Capulet tried to correct him when she said “No not till Thursday. There is time enough.”(Act 4 Scene 2). Lord Capulet refused to back down so that Juliet wouldn’t have time to change her mind by saying “Go, Nurse, go with her we’ll to church tomorrow.”(Act 4 Scene 2), and “Tush, I will stir about, and all things shall be well, I warrant thee, wife. Go thou to Juliet, help to deck up her. I’ll not to bed tonight. Let me be alone. I’ll play the house wife for this once.-What ho? They are all forth?-Well, I will walk myself to County Paris, to prepare him up against tomorrow. My heart is wondrous light since this same wayward girl is so reclaimed.”(Act 4 Scene 2).

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.
