Juliet Capulet
Juliet Capulet Juliet of the Capulet house is the 13-year-old daughter of the rich, and noble, Lord and Lady Capulet. She is known throughout fair Verona, for her kindness, beauty, and good manner. During her 13 years on this earth, it is obvious in her character that she is very practical, and knows exactly what she wants. For example, when her mother is discussing marriage, she states it is an honor she would dream not of, but still, a question shall arise by the way Juliet is suddenly captivated by the young, and handsome Romeo of the Montague household. Despite an ancient feud, which exists between both household, Juliet shows a sense of independence, when she secretly marries Romeo. Though Juliet believed she knew her heart well, she certainly fell head over heals for this handsome Montague. Juliet is always spoken very well of by the Nurse, and is the apple of her fathers eye. When she is later confronted with the news of having an arranged marriage to the County Pairs, Juliet shows her rebelliousness, and faithfulness to Romeo when she stands up to her father, telling him what she really thinks of Paris. Although Juliet can speak, and think for herself, she tends to also rely on others a little too much, for example, she will constantly insist that the Nurse is it give her the information about Romeo, and believe she cannot help herself, or Romeo at all, once she
Romeo & Juliet - Capulet
Romeo & Juliet - Capulet Act Three Scene Five displays an image of who the 'real' Capulet is. In act one scene two, Capulet seems a very caring, human father as he explains to Paris that Juliet is too young to be married at the age of thirteen. Thou in a period of three days, Capulet has a sudden change of mind, and as Juliet disobeys his orders to get married Capulet exploded with rage and anger! This proves Capulet to be a domineering, patriarchal, callous bully. In addition to this, Juliet has already married with Romeo, so she has badly disobeyed her father and married behind his back, and wonders what the outcome will be if she remarries? Capulet is also Guilty... by breaking the Elizabethan law. Act three scene five begins when Juliet's mother has just been informed by her mother under Capulet's orders that Juliet and Paris will marry almost immediately! Juliet is outraged by this after spending her wedding night with Romeo the evening before. Capulet enters to see Juliet flooded in tears, he tries to use calm and poetic language to sooth Juliet believing she is weeping over he cousin 'Tybalt's' death, this is evidenced by: "But for the sunset of my brother's son It rains downright." Lady Capulet first informs her husband of Juliet's refusal. Disobeying his commands provokes Capulet to release his anger to be and throw it at
Romeo & Juliet - Lady Capulet
Romeo & Juliet Lady Capulet My Version The scene opens with Romeo & Juliet waking up after their first night together. There is a sense of tension in the audience as they don't know when Lady Capulet is going to come. Lady Capulet is on her way up to give Juliet the good news. The nurse sees her and rushes to tell Juliet. While Romeo is getting ready to leave we can hear Lady Capulet calling out to Juliet lively saying, "Ho daughter! Are you up?" This is the last time Romeo & Juliet see each other alive. As soon as Romeo leaves Lady Capulet enters. This increases the dramatic tension in the audience. She sees Juliet weeping on the bed. She assumes it because she's moaning for Tybalt's death. Lady Capulet walks over to Juliet's bed and puts her hand on her shoulder. Lady Capulet feels a bit uncomfortable as she's not used to talking to her daughter. However she gives it her best shot. Juliet's mother gives her sensible advice. She says "Some grief shows much of love, but much of grief shows still some want of wit." This mean it's good to show some grief as respect when someone dies. But its pointless showing too much as the grief is not going to bring the person back to life. Lady Capulet also says, "So shall you feel the loss, but not the friend which you weep for". This is very insensitive of Lady Capulet and shows that Juliet's relationship with her parents is uncaring,
Romeo and Juliet - Analysing Capulet.
Steven Gregson 11I Romeo and Juliet Analysing Capulet A good father in the 21^st Century should be trusting - He should be approachable, so that you can go and ask him for things and know that you will be safe and sensible with what you do. He should be honest, So that he can tell you his truthful opinions rather than making something up to make awkward situations seem better for not only us, but him. He should be reliable, so you can count on him that he'll be there when you need him. Caring, about everything you are and you do. Someone who gives guidance rather than dictating what you do. Somebody you can talk to when you need to and they will listen to your needs. Able to provide a safe environment for you to live in and around. Supportive when you feel you need him the most. A good father in Shakespearian times was the Head of the house; whatever he said or did was acknowledged and taken heed of. They were expected to ensure that the family name, honour and fortune were upheld. All of their fortune was inherited; they did not have to work for the money. Being the father, this made him the man of the house, so he ruled the family. He was expected to arrange a good marriage for his children, usually meaning that he married them into another well off family! Capulet is a typical Shakespearian father. We first see Lord Capulet in Act 1, Scene 1; when the
Character analysis- Juliet Capulet
character analysis- juliet capulet Juliet is presented as quiet and obedient; however, she possesses an inner strength that enables her to have maturity beyond her years. When her mother suggests that she marry Paris because Paris is rich and good looking, Juliet responds: "I'll look to like, if looking liking move" (I.3.97). When she meets and falls in love with Romeo, she is prepared to defy her parents and marry Romeo in secret. In Act III, Scene 5, Capulet demands his right as her father to marry her to Paris, threatening her with disinheritance and public shame. Juliet, however, is resolute in her decision to die rather than enter into a false marriage: "If all else fail, myself have power to die"(III.5.244). At this point, when Juliet is most isolated from her family, even the Nurse betrays Juliet's trust by advising her to forget Romeo and comply with her father's wishes. In her relationship with Romeo, Juliet is loving, witty, loyal, and strong. When Romeo and Juliet kiss at the feast, Juliet teases Romeo for using the popular imagery of love poetry to express his feelings and for kissing according to convention rather than from the heart: "You kiss by th' book" (I.5.110). This establishes a pattern for their relationship in which Juliet displays greater maturity, particularly in moments of great emotional intensity. In the balcony scene of Act II, Scene 2, Juliet

In this essay, I am going to discuss the relationship between Juliet her mother (Lady Capulet) Juliet and her father (Lord Capulet) and Juliet and the Nurse.
Kirsty Yapp Romeo and Juliet Essay In this essay, I am going to discuss the relationship between Juliet her mother (Lady Capulet) Juliet and her father (Lord Capulet) and Juliet and the Nurse. In Act 1, Scene 3 Juliet speaks politely to her mother calling her 'madam'. This also shows they have a distant relationship as she talks to her mother like she is talking to a stranger. Lady Capulet does not know how to approach Juliet to discuss marriage with her and needs the nurse there. The lady excuses the nurse but then immediately calls her back as she does not know how to approach Juliet her own daughter (she does not know her very well). She also has to confirm Juliet's age with the nurse, 'Thou knowst my daughter's of a pretty age.' The Nurse has brought Juliet up, so she knows her better. It was fashionable for wealthy people to employ a nurse to look after their children at this time. Lady Capulet asks Juliet if she has thought about getting married and Juliet answers that she has not thought about marriage yet (after all she is only thirteen). Juliet answers ''It is an honour that I dream not of.'' Her mother bluntly answers,'' Well think of marriage now.'' Her mother does not discuss marriage with her. She only wants her to get married for money and power, as Paris is wealthy. She says Juliet will get very wealthy, ''So shall you share in all that he doth
How Does Shakespeare Present The Relationship Between Capulet and Juliet in Romeo and Juliet?
How Does Shakespeare Present The Relationship Between Capulet and Juliet in “Romeo and Juliet”? Although “Romeo and Juliet” is a Tragic Romance it also explores the ever changing relationship between Juliet and her father. There are many factors as to how and why Romeo and Juliet died. The major contributor to the downfall of these lovers was Capulet, Juliet's own father. He brought upon the death of Juliet by forcing her to marry Paris, separating her from Romeo, and rejecting her. Shakespeare’s initial portrayal of Capulet is of a kind and loving father. By saying that Juliet “is the hopeful lady of my earth” shows how special their bond is through the metaphor “earth”. By doing this he is comparing her to everything there is. “Hopeful” gives the impression that he has many expectations of her and that she is of use to him. Capulet continues to say that "my will to her consent" which emphasises his deep, caring nature as he feels that Juliet is yet a "stranger” to society. To a typical modern audience, Capulet’s response is unsurprising as Juliet is far too young to marry. In Shakespeare's time however, the father would be expected to control many aspects of his daughter’s life. The majority of the Elizabethans would have been mildly surprised at Capulet for offering the "choice" to the 13-year-old Juliet. He asks Paris to "woo" her,
Romeo and Juliet - Are Lord and Lady Capulet good parents?
Romeo and Juliet - Are Lord and Lady Capulet good parents? Ideas of good parenting have dramatically changed from the 16th century to the 21st century. The ways in which Juliet acts and speaks through the play show us how the parent - child relationship worked in the 16th century. Juliet, at the beginning, is very obedient to her parents. She addresses her mother as 'Madam' (P63 Line 6), which is very formal. Today, we address our mothers as 'Mum'. 'Mother' would be the most formal word that we use today. 'Madam' implies a distance between them but also shows how Juliet thinks her mother as important to her. However, Juliet addresses her father as 'father', which would imply that he is closer to his daughter than his wife is. In Act 1 Scene 2, Lord Capulet has the interview with Paris where he asks for Juliet's hand in marriage. At first he refuses because he feels she would be "too soon married...she hath not yet seen the change of 14 years" (P57, Line 9). Capulet knows the age of his daughter whereas Lady Capulet had to ask the nurse, which again implies how Juliet is possibly closer to her father. He seems to be a generally easy-going man; but we know from Act 1 Scene 5 that Capulet can lose his temper very quickly when defied (here by Tybalt). I believe that from him getting angry and because he doesn't like to be defied, he thinks highly of himself. We first meet
Discuss the relationship between Capulet and his daughter Juliet in the play 'Romeo and Juliet'.
Discuss the relationship between Capulet and his daughter Juliet in the play 'Romeo and Juliet' In the 16th century, power, status, reputation and money were important to men, but one of the most important things was marriage, and finding a girl from a wealthy family to be their wife. The father decides who it is his daughter should marry, and when she is going to get married. Capulet hopes his daughter will gain more money, security and have a good future from marrying Paris. Girls who did not marry the person their father choose for them would be punished. They would be executed, put into a nunnery or sent to exile. I think there is a mixture of feelings for Capulets' motivation for Juliet for marry Paris. On the outside, Capulet lets the audience thinks it is because of pride, power and a strong sense of tradition because of the way he treats Juliet later in the play. I think deep down, another reason for him wanting him to marry Paris is because he loves Juliet. He has chosen a husband he thinks Juliet will like and becomes very angry later in the play when Juliet argues with him about marrying Paris. Juliet's role as a daughter in the 16th century was to do as she was told. She should behave well and treat her elders with respect as this is how the nurse has bought her up. Daughters of a wealthy man are expected to be married off to a wealthy family. Juliet wants love
