Personal Narrative: Uncle Capulet

Improved Essays
At Capulet’s party, I was roaming around and making sure that everything was perfect, but then I heard a familiar voice. I followed that voice and found the Montague, Romeo. He had a mask on, but I was sure that it was him. I told a slave to fetch me my sword, while I went to go find my uncle, Capulet. I told him that I saw Romeo, but he acted as if he did not even care. I thought that Uncle Capulet would get mad and allow me to fight Romeo, but instead he told me to calm down and let Romeo be. He complimented Romeo and said, “He bears him like a portly gentleman, And, to say truth, Verona brags of him, To be a virtuous and well-governed youth.”
He did not even insult Romeo. He told me not to worry and pretend I never saw that nasty

    Juliet’s rebellion enrages her father to a degree to which he becomes cruel and disbelieving of anything that she has to say. Therefore, when forsaking her identity by defying her father, Juliet causes a conflict of trust between the two of them, thereby putting Capulet in a suspicious state of mind. Likewise, Romeo’s broken identity results in a monstrous conflict. His determination for peace with Tybalt, is the opposite of what Mercutio- Romeo’s loyal friend- has in mind, who rather thinks of this approach, as “calm, dishonourable, vile submission!” (3.1.70).…
