    In Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet, Lord Capulet seems like a reasonable person in his dealings with others. To be considered a reasonable person, one must be agreeable to reason or sound judgement. When Paris requests to wed Juliet, Capulet’s only child, Lord Capulet is fair with his response by saying, “My child is yet a stranger in the world, / She hath not seen the change of fourteen years; / Let two more summers wither in their pride, / Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride” (1.2.7 - 11). Lord…

    Is there more to Lord Capulet than just shouting and threats? Does Lord Capulet care about Juliet, or is he just worried about his family’s honor? Evidence from the play seems to support the Capulet that loves Juliet, and wants to see her happy, even though at points it seems like Capulet could not care less about what Juliet wants. Family honor does play some role in Capulet’s decisions, but it is wrong to assume that a better name for himself is the only thing driving him. It is also important…

    father of Juliet, Lord Capulet, seems a powerful man, who follows the family tradition of despising all Montagues. However, throughout the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet, Lord Capulet’s authoritative and hateful persona evolves into that of a loving and forgiving man. This change shows through in the first fight scene between the Montagues and the Capulets, during the fight between him and Juliet about the wedding, and the suicide of Juliet and Romeo. Tensions in the city of Verona run…

    How far does Shakespeare present Lord Capulet as a good father? In Act 1 Scene 2, the audience has an impression that Lord Capulet is a considerate and caring father. Through the use of the agrarian metaphor 'too soon marred are those so early made', Shakespeare might be showing how Lord Capulet feels that he is marring Juliet's virginity and forcing her into motherhood. Also, he feels she is 'too ripe to be a bride' and 'has not yet seen the change of fourteen years'. In the Elizabethan era,…
