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.
In Act 3 scene 4, Capulet says “ I think She’ll do whatever I say” . This statement shows us Lord Capulet think Juliet won’t say no about marrying Paris, it also shows that he think he can control Juliet’s life. Making him feel very confident to get the best for his daughter even though it means controlling her life. In Act 3 scene 5, Lord Capulet says “ I hear you say proud and I thank
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Lord Capulet’s attitude and behavior toward Juliet change from Act 1 to Act 3 to Act 4 which shows how little he cares about Juliet and her feelings. In Act 1, Lord Capulet believes his daughter’s feelings are more important than his well-being. When Paris asks to marry Juliet, Lord Capulet wants to wait and consider Juliet’s feelings first.
Friar Laurence, Lord Capulet, and Tybalt all played significant roles in contributing to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet in William Shakespeare’s play. These three characters, through their actions and decisions, ultimately led to the tragic demise of the two young lovers. First and foremost, Friar Laurence had a major hand in the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. The friar agrees to secretly marry the two lovers, hoping that their marriage will bring an end to the feud between the Montagues and Capulets. However, his decision to keep their marriage a secret ultimately led to the tragic death of Romeo and Juliet.
In the real world everyone makes mistakes that cannot be fixed. In William Shakespeare 's Romeo and Juliet both the Capulets and the Montagues make several mistakes, but there is one person most responsible. Juliet 's father, Lord Capulet, is most to blame for the events that occurred and for his daughter 's death. Romeo would have never met Juliet if Lord Capulet had kicked him out of the party. In scene 5 of act 1 Tybalt recognized Romeo and instead of dueling him, Lord Capulet said to leave Romeo alone.
Ha, ha. Well, Wednesday is too soon, O' Thursday let it be. O' Thursday, tell her, She shall be married to this noble earl! Will you be ready?¨ (Act 3.4, 20-23). Lady Capulet and Lord Capulet did not even ask Juliet if she was ready to marry Paris, she had no voice in her marriage decision.
Lord Capulet forces Juliet to marry Paris later in the play. He gives her an ultimatum about deciding to marry him or not. Capulet exclaims, “I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday. Or never after look me in the face” (Doc D). Juliet is upset when she hears this and goes to Friar Lawrence.
I think she will be ruled In all respects by me; nay more, I doubt it not. Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed; Acquaint her here of my son Paris’ love And bid her” (Shakespeare 3.4.12-17). In this, Capulet and Paris are talking about marrying Juliet. Capulet is confirming his decision with Paris about him marrying her without her consent first. This is the main reason Romeo and Juliet go to Friar to make the plan so she does not have to marry Paris.
William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was a tragic play that started with a young couple falling madly in love, but quickly turned to the death of both of them. From early on in the play, it seemed as if the fate of Romeo and Juliet was already determined, as they were referred to as “star-crossed lovers”, and the tragic fate of these lovers was unraveled through the poor decisions of many characters throughout this play. Though many people can be blamed for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, Lord Capulet and Romeo are the most responsible for the tragic ending of this play. Lord Capulet was the most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. First of all, one trait that puts Lord Capulet at the blame for the death of Romeo and Juliet is that he was indecisive.
Lord Capulet is responsible for the Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, five dead and his own family in pieces. He is selfish throughout the play and only does what he thinks is best for his family instead of what would actually benefit those around him. Lord Capulet is egotistical and doesn’t think much of others and the way he treats them. In act 3, scene 5, after Juliet told her mother she doesn’t want to marry Paris, Lord Capulet comes in and says to her, “Hang thee, young baggage, disobedient wretch!
Shakespeare presents Lord Capulet in Act 1 Scene 2 as a loving, caring father as he only wants what’s best for Juliet, saying 'We may think her ripe to be a bride'. This suggests that he thinks that she is too young to be married, even though she would be married to a nobleman, Paris, who would be able to provide for her and give the family a higher status in society as Paris is related to the Prince. Lord Capulet doesn’t exactly turn down Paris’ suit but he does tell him to wait. Capulet uses the word 'ripe'. This is a metaphor, comparing her to a fruit, when a fruit isn’t ready to be eaten, as he doesn’t think she is ready for marriage.
In the play Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare, Lord Capulet is introduced with a respectful and kind attitude towards his daughter; however, immediately after the death of Tybalt, he becomes much more aggressive and his respect and love for Juliet ceases. In the first section of the play, Capulet discusses Juliet in a thoughtful and favourable way, evidently expressing the love he has for her. While conversing about marriage with Paris, Capulet says "Earth hath swallow 'd all my hope but she;/She 's the hopeful lady of my earth" (I. ii. 14-15).Capulet is indicating with this statement that he cherishes and adores Juliet as she fills him with hope by reason that she is the one and only child he has left.
That makes Juliet concerned because she likes Romeo. First, he tells Juliet to marry Paris which she doesn’t want to happen. This is found in Act 3 scene 5. Second, Lord Capulet rages at Juliet when he notices that she doesn’t want to marry Paris. He then tells Juliet that he will never see her again.
Would you end your life for someone you just met? In the movie “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, a boy and a girl from rival families fall in love. However, their love takes a deadly turn. The nurse and Lady Capulet are foils because of their drastic personality differences. The nurse is very funny and protective, while Lady Capulet is uptight and serious.
Death is a topic that individuals in our society seek to avoid. As a result of this social taboo, people fail to discuss what they want their death to look like which places their families in a difficult situation. The family will decide what the patient would want and decided where to draw the line between what is considered sustaining life and postponing inevitable death. The failure to engage in these conversations results in “[patients]—along with their families and doctors—[being] unprepared for the final stage” (Gawande, 154). One way to confront this issue is to have individuals establish living wills and engage in conversations with trained personnel to discuss the complexity of life support.
