Secondly, Lord Capulet was also a hasty character who throughout the play was too eager to marry his daughter to Paris and indirectly caused her betrayal and death. Initially, Paris told Lord Capulet that he wanted to marry Juliet as soon as possible. At first, Lord Capulet told him to wait but then changed his mind all of a sudden forcing his daughter to marry Paris “O' Thursday let it be: o' Thursday, tell her,she shall be married to this noble earl.”(Act 3,4) not thinking of his daughter’s feeling. When Juliet fake agreed on the marriage, Capulet moved the date a day sooner due to his excitement about her agreement “Send for the county. Go tell him of this.
First and foremost Lady Capulet was an overbearing mother to Juliet. She believed in things that Juliet did not and also forced a certain lifestyle onto her. Lady Capulet always viewed love differently than what Juliet did. The mother and daughter could never agree on anything either. “Ay, sir; but she will none, she gives you thanks.
Young Juliet acts with a sense of loyalty, respect, and intelligence in the first four scenes of the play, before she meets Romeo, as she displays high education and respect for herself and parents. Juliet belongs to the esteemed house of the Capulets, who are highly regarded in Verona; therefore, she acts respectable and honorable. The young Capulet regards the rules and her family with great precedence, “Madam [...] what is your will?” (1.3.7). Immediately upon being called by the nurse and her mom, Juliet asks her mom what she desires.
Juliet: Maturing Woman As teenagers grow, they rebel and leave the nest, and can have little thought as to how this affects other people. Juliet Capulet is a stunning example of this exact concept. At 13, Juliet is finally growing into herself and who she wants to be, and becoming a fully fledged woman by leaving her childhood comforter, the Nurse, for her husband, and earning the title of “Maturing Woman”. Her growth and maturation as a person can be seen clearly through the play, coming clearly into the light in Act 3 Scene 5, first through her conversation with her mother and the masterful way she worked through those rocky waters, and secondly through her comment about the nurse and how they will never be as close.
Juliet believes she has found her true love and then her father tells her that she has to marry Paris. The brain makes a good decision and Juliet decides to see an adult. In this case, it is not a peer that gives Juliet bad advice but an elder. When Friar Lawrence tells Juliet to take a potion to make her appear dead, she brain does not consider how much grief and pain her family will endure but only thinks about being with the man she met less than a week ago. Juliet’s brain also did not process that word of her death would spread around and Romeo would think that she is dead.
In the beginning, Juliet was a shy innocent girl who always obeyed her parents.

Romeo was reckless and did not love Juliet enough to save her. Lady Capulet had never truly been a mother to Juliet, their relationship was formal and respected, not kind and gentle.

She insisted Juliet to marry Paris “The valiant Paris seeks you for his love”(DBQ: Project, 2013), a man Juliet did not love.
Normally, as a child, Juliet makes the decision without much thinking, as she assumed that whatever choice her mom made would be great. Juliet’s immaturity and obedience that
She wants to change herself in order to be perfect for Romeo, even though that is not the person she truly is or wants to be.

This causes her to appear to the public and Lord and Lady Capulet as a respectful and responsible young lady, then leaves herself wondering how she can sneak around what she just agreed to do. Juliet is willing to change who she is in order to please
In this case, it seems that Juliet has not had as much bonding with her Lady Capulet as much as she has with the nurse.
