    However, when Paris asks for Lord Capulet’s consent to marry Juliet, Capulet says to wait until Juliet is older and she must somewhat like Paris first. This demonstrates that Lord Capulet cares about Juliet’s well-being. He wants Juliet to marry earlier now that Tybalt is dead to take her mind off of the death of her cousin, thinking that a big wedding would make her and all of the other Capulets happier. I understand that there is a big misunderstanding and that Lord Capulet thinks that Juliet is being extremely ungrateful about his decision, but I don’t think it’s okay to talk to your child that way and Lord Capulet should apologize. Also, although I don’t think that Lady Capulet would approve of Romeo, she should be able to accept their marriage because they are already married.…

Long lasting feuds, one sided decisions, and unfatherly threats were all important factors in the way that Capulet indirectly ended many precious lives. First, if Capulet would have ended the feud with the montagues, Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have had to keep their marriage a secret.…

    When a situation does not go according to plan, someone is always to be blamed. In William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Lord Capulet is partially to blame for the tragedy due to his inconsideration of his daughter’s opinions and feelings, however Friar Laurence takes most of the blame because of his failed plan to reunite the couple and his well-intentioned, but disastrous decision to marry them in the first place. Lord Capulet, although formally wanting Juliet’s consent to marry Paris, now threatens to disown her if she refuses. He expresses his disappointment and rage towards Juliet by furiously stating, “I tell thee what-get thee to church a’ Thursday Or never after look me in the face. Speak not, reply not, do not answer me” (III.v.162-164).…
