Who Is Lord Capulet To Blame For Romeo And Juliet's Death

“Anyone can have a child and call themselves [a parent] but a real parent is someone who puts that child above their own selfish needs and wants.”(unknown) As the judge, my purpose is to provide the victim of Romeo and Juliet’s death a punishment. Many characters had a major impact in Romeo and Juliet’s death. However, Lord Capulet’s impact was massively effective in result of his actions and choices made. Lord Capulet’s emotional ways provide evidence he is trying to involve himself in Juliet’s life. As shown on page 199 (Act 3, Scene 5) when he says, “She refuses? Isn’t she grateful?
