Lord Capulet Mature In Romeo And Juliet

Our life is the sum total of all the decisions we make every day, and those decisions are determined by our priorities (Myles Munroe). In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet are a pair of star-crossed lovers. However their love does not have approval of their parents, and it is forbidden. Juliet’s parents, Lord Capulet and Lady Capulet wish for her to be married to a handsome, young suitor, Count Paris. Her most trusted servant and best friend Nurse who watched Juliet grow up and is one of the few people aware of Romeo and Juliet’s love. Juliet's relationships with Paris, the Nurse, and her parents reveal immature traits in Juliet and themselves, which illustrates young people often pay for the consequences of their rash

In the beginning of the play, Paris is visiting Lord Capulet, Juliet’s father, to ask for permission to marry Juliet. However, he has not even met Juliet once in his life, nor has he met any of her family before this scene. Paris disregards this, still inquiring Capulet, “what say you to my suit?” (I.ii. 6), and Cap saying that his daughter needs to wait until she grows before getting married (I.ii. 7-11). Capulet clearly states that Juliet is too young to get married, demonstrating that young people should not be able to make such big decisions.

She fools her parents into believing that she intends to marry Paris, but also that she does not even intend on ever seeing her parents again. Furthermore, Juliet’s secrets have a negative effect on her parents. After Juliet stabs herself with Romeo’s knife after he kills himself, her parents along with many others arrive at the cemetery. When Juliet’s parents discover that their daughter faked her death and that she actually killed herself, they break down. Lord Capulet sobbs, “O heavens! O wife, look how our daughter bleeds!” (V.iii. 210). Juliet’s secretive nature directly results in her death, because of the incompleteness of her plan to escape her parents. This exemplifies that young people are not best fitted to make big decisions, because Juliet’s decisions resulted in Romeo, Paris, and herself all perishing. Juliet’s connection with both of her parents show that Juliet does not share much information, which illustrates that adolescents lack the correct
