    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.…

    With Paris being told by Juliet’s father he could marry her, this made Juliet even more upset, prompting the plan to escape her family. Paris often played a part in the role of why Juliet wanted to get married to Romeo, as she couldn’t see herself being married to Paris, and she didn’t like the thought of an arranged marriage. This, as well as Romeo being banished was what ultimately made Juliet upset and wishing to leave her family, and caused so many issues with trying to find a way to do so.

    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.
