Act 3 Response
In Romeo and Juliet, many characters’ actions seem to be done out of love. However, as the reader examines these actions more deeply, it seems that some are done out of selfishness. For example, although Lord Capulet acts as though he wants the best for Juliet, it seems most of his decisions are egocentric. He may have had benevolent intentions in the beginning, but we later find out this has changed. Capulet did not consider Juliet’s feelings towards Paris, which would have been the loving thing to do. He did not discuss the terms of the marriage with Juliet either. Lord Capulet admits that he is doing this to cheer up Juliet. When the reader examines this decision, it prompts another idea. Maybe he just wants to marry off
