Lord Capulet In Romeo And Juliet

Romeo and Juliet a play written in the year 1597 by and writer which published the most exquisite as well as retailed the English modern language, his play was symbolic in many eyes by the emotions and feelings which was brought to centre stage, not only did it bring laughter and joy to the theatre, he also has written a play which in the 20th century is still being used. The fine gentleman’s name was William Shakespeare. In this controlled assessment I will be analysing how lord Capulet, the father of Juliet is presented in the film as well as in the play. Certain key features will be analysed from how and Elizabethan father’s duty was in the time in which the play was written and also see the comparison towards the play and film.
In act one scene 2, lord Capulet is discussing the marriage between Juliet and one of the main character in this play called Paris, the discussion is a one way conversation in which lord Capulet as a farther is to over protective in many ways in which his daughter is too young to marry. Lord Capulet says “my child is yet a stranger to the world,” from this quote I can analyse the word” stranger” as and word sounding of in experienced and unfamiliar tetrarchy for his daughter to be in, as and Elizabethan farther his duty is to raise his child and get them married to a rich gentlemen in which will look after his wife for until they die, but the way in which lord Capulet is presented shows us his love for his child is like no other and that the fact the “ earth has swallowed all my hopes but she, she is the hopeful lady of my earth.” Showing us that the fact Juliet is the last chance in which he has got to full fill his duties, from inferring from the words “my hopes” you can see a clear connection to his past children who may have not survived, lord Capulet is showing resilience because of previous situation which has left him with a decision which is still pending. The line “earth has swallowed all my hopes but she,” shows us personification in which is used to emphasise his feelings even further for his daughter and is still filled with regrets over the marriage happening. The word “swallowed” shows us that the fact lord Capulet uses this metaphor to show what his daughter means to him, it also shows us that all his love for life is Juliet and that the fact she is everything he has got left. Lord Capulet is presented in Romeo and Juliet in and empowered manor, before lord Capulet is presented his power is already been shown by his name being on top of one of the largest buildings in the city, this shows lord Capulet is ranked to the highest level and this is shown by his name being presented in one of the tallest buildings in the country. …show more content…
Both the book and the film shows us two sides of lord Capulet, the book shows us and sympathetic lord Capulet in which he is overprotective over his daughter, where as in the film lord Capulet is shown as an ruler, and empowered human being with revolutionary power. This has been done because of Baz Lurman trying to create a film which entertains the modern audience, and also him wanting to make film which was filled with action and thriller. To enable Paris for the marriage to happen he says the following words to provoke lord Capulet into the wedding happening, “younger than her happy mothers made,” but the way lord Capulet reacts as like shrugging off somebody who isn’t in the same calibre as him, his facial expression shows the audience what his initial thoughts are which is his daughter Juliet being too young to marry and lord Capulet as a farther isn’t ready to let go, but how an Shakespearean audience would react would be that the fact an Elizabethan fathers duty is to raise his child and at the ages between 14-16 get them married to an rich gentleman who will look after her and care for her. So as an Elizabethan farther lord Capulet
