This mess could all be avoided if Juliet told her parents about her marriage and love to…
Providence ensures that both Juliet and the nurse have a mother-daughter relationship for most of the play. “Thou was the prettiest babe that e’er I nurs’d. And I might live to see thee married once, I have my wish.” The nurse portrayed characteristics of mother more than Lady Capulet ever did towards Juliet.…
The second reason for Lady Capulet’s struggles to help her family is her impulsive husband. Her efforts to save the family from disasters are struck down by Capulet. First time we see evidence of this is at the time of the first brawl, where in response to Capulet’s request for his sword, lady Capulet says “A crutch, a crutch! Why call you for a sword”(1.1 177) she does not want her husband to join the fight, because it will anger the prince and danger his life but he ignores her, and goes on to fight anyway without thinking about the consequences, therefore causing the family even more troubles. Keeping in mind Capulet’s age and the Prince’s displeasure, Lady Capulet makes one more desperate attempt to her husband she tells him, “…
Juliet had made her own personal decisions without her family's consent. When Romeo and Juliet find that they can’t stand to be without each other so they formulate a plan on the balcony to get married. Romeo leaves and Juliet exclaims “I will not fail.tis twenty years till then,marriage”(2.2.75-76).She was willing to get married to someone who she barely met. She didn’t what marriage was like she even said herself she never thought of marriage,and those drastic decisions made a pathway for…
Capulet’s control of Juliet is immediately noticeable as she is absent from the scene, while her fate is being decided by two male figures. While Capulet somewhat offsets his control by stating that his “will to her consent is but a part” (1.2.17), readers may be led to doubt his sincerity when he remarks “the earth hath swallow’d all my hopes but she” (1.2.14), as he appears to think of Juliet as a possession, and a means of achieving his own desires. Capulet’s misogynistic attitude towards women is also highlighted when he refers to his guests as “fresh female buds” (1.2.29), reducing women to delicate, decorative objects rather than complex individuals with identities of their own. Ultimately, it is clear that Capulet does not fully respect the independence and selfhood of the women in his…
Lady Capulet, the mother of Juliet has been trying to get Juliet to marry anyone so that she is able to be secured and have a status without the help of her parents. Juliet, on the other hand, has been comfortable with how…
Throughout the play, the audience sees Lord Capulet’s change from a selfless man to a selfish one. When Paris comes to Lord Capulet and asks for Juliet’s hand, Lord Capulet claims that he is not in a hurry to marry her off. He tells Paris ‘’My will to her consent it but a part / an she, agree within her scope of choice’’ (I. ii. 17-18) which means that Juliet can choose her husband as long as he’s appropriate for her and even challenges Paris to woo her if he can. Lord Capulet is an understanding father and cares for his daughter’s well-being at this point, but the situation changes quickly. When Paris comes after Tybalt is slain, Lord Capulet makes a ‘’desperate tender / Of [his] child’s love.…
My parents have never talked to me like that, but they do get infuriated when I don’t agree with an important decision they’ve made. In my opinion I truly think Lady and lord Capulet shouldn’t have reacted in that way, when Juliet told them; she didn’t want to get married. But instead, they should have talked it over with Juliet and either convince her into marrying Paris or making an agreement. It’s not really fair that Juliet gets treaded so badly just because she disagreed with them, for the first time in her live. In my house, every time my parents see me struggling with school or when we don’t agree in something.…
Lady Capulet can be described as an obedient wife that only listens to her husband and her attitude is one of a loyal maid. Alternatively, Juliet 's nurse acts more as a mother than Lady Capulet herself. She has a strong and loyal love to Juliet which consequently explains why she is always by her side. This scene can be viewed as devastating as the nurse fails to comfort Juliet in which she had previously been doing in the play. On the contrary, the nurse rather recommends Juliet marry Paris, "I think it best you married with the county."…
When County Paris expresses his desire to marry Juliet, Lord Capulet denies Paris’ request; he believes that his daughter is too young to be a bride. Lord Capulet says, “Let two more summers wither in their pride, / Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride” (1.2.10-11). This quote reveals how much Lord Capulet cares for his daughter, proving that he has her best interest at heart. Many fathers at this time were eager to marry their daughters off, especially to wealthy or important men.…
Lady Capulet: “Marry, that 'marry ' is the very theme I came to talk of. Tell me, daughter Juliet, How stands your disposition to be married?” Juliet: “It is an honour that I dream not of.”(Act 1, scene 3 64-67). Marriage was seen as something that daughters were expected to do. In this time of social change the families ideas and Juliet’s ideas on women’s social ranking in society clash, this causes issues for Juliet as she decides to value herself in the hierarchy rather than follow…
Juliet and her mother may not have always been truthful with each other; they still had a strong connection. When Juliet was suspected to be dead, Lady Capulet had a break down. It was a "...woeful time!" (IV.…
Juliet Montague was thirteen at this time and daughter of Capulet and Lady Capulet. Juliet’s main friend and confidant would be her nurse, who she told everything to, and trusted her with her deepest secrets. The prince of Verona had expressed his feeling of affection toward Juliet through…
At the beginning of the play, she is portrayed naïve, obedient and does everything by the book. Throughout the whole story, there have been no friendships of hers introduced. This is no social norm for a teenager’s life. Lady Capulet says “Thou knowest my daughter’s of a pretty age” (act 1 scene 3) this implies that it was normal for teenagers to get married at that age and that their families would even choose their future husband. Juliet’s father, a Capulet wants her to marry Paris whom she does not love.…
This is revealed in the play (3.5.191-194) when Capulet says “Thursday is near, lay hand on heart, advise. And you are mine, I'll give you to my friend and you will die in the streets!... I'll ne’er acknowledge thee.” This supports how Juliet doesn't have a good relationship with her parents. It is highlighted in this part of the story how there's a lack of a relationship because if there was a good one, Capulet would have let Juliet marry who she pleases but instead, they're ignoring how she…
