His words symbolical meaning in this phrase is that he considered himself blessed with Juliet and the hope, innocence and natural beauty she possessed. Henceforth he realized that her presence provokes objectionable emotions. Therefore a gift has transformed into a curse. Capulets actions and words in unison believed she is better dead than alive. Foreshadowing these vivid words of hatred Capulet’s words come true as Juliet dies. The irony of this event is the person who is the most sorrowful and in mourning is Mr. Capulet, who realized also his only heiress is dead and their legacy is gone.
