Mr Capulet Responsible For The Tragedy In Romeo And Juliet

Improved Essays
The finale of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet was very regrettable for both the Montagues and the Capulets. The feuding families mourned over their lost loved ones because of some poor choices made by themselves. A Capulet would never let his daughter marry who she wanted especially if he was their rival, a Montague. Mr. Capulet didn’t let Juliet make her own decisions, even though she was old enough to think and have her own personal thoughts and feelings. When you get treated unfairly, you normally don’t want to respect or listen to the person who did you wrong. It causes you to get very irritated and possibly to rebel against them. In consideration of this, Mr. Capulet is the most responsible for the death of his daughter and son in law. …show more content…
When they each caught a glimpse of each other they immediately became extremely attracted, even though they barely knew anything about each other. Neither knew what each other's last name was and nor would it cross their mind at that moment. They were just 2 people who fell in love at first site. “My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late.” (Shakespeare, pg 396). Little did they know that would affect the rest of their lives

    However, when Paris asks for Lord Capulet’s consent to marry Juliet, Capulet says to wait until Juliet is older and she must somewhat like Paris first. This demonstrates that Lord Capulet cares about Juliet’s well-being. He wants Juliet to marry earlier now that Tybalt is dead to take her mind off of the death of her cousin, thinking that a big wedding would make her and all of the other Capulets happier. I understand that there is a big misunderstanding and that Lord Capulet thinks that Juliet is being extremely ungrateful about his decision, but I don’t think it’s okay to talk to your child that way and Lord Capulet should apologize. Also, although I don’t think that Lady Capulet would approve of Romeo, she should be able to accept their marriage because they are already married.…

    A father, Capulet, who seems to want the best for his daughter may not be exactly who we have learned to think he is. The deaths of Mercutio, Tybalt, Paris, Romeo, Juliet, and Lady Capulet written in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare were the effect of Capulet’s bad decisions. Long lasting feuds, one sided decisions, and unfatherly threats were all important factors in the way that Capulet indirectly ended many precious lives. First, if Capulet would have ended the feud with the montagues, Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have had to keep their marriage a secret.…

    / Do as thou wilt, for [she is] done with thee” (3.5.203-204). This shows that Lady Capulet stops showing interests to Juliet and what she really wants. By ignoring Juliet’s desires, she wouldn’t take her feelings into consideration. If she had listened, then Juliet wouldn’t plan to fake her own death to be with her true love, Romeo.…

    There was a big feud between the two families that started a long time ago but after that they never liked each other again. The Capulet’s and Montague’s are both unable to keep clam about the situation; instead they bring it out onto the city. If there wasn’t a issue between the capulets and Montague’s, Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t have had to hide how much they care about each other and love each other and Friar Laurence wouldn’t have had to start up a whole other situation with Juliet. Both Capulet and Montague families had many differences but didn’t realize just how much it affected Romeo and Juliet until after their death. In the book Romeo and Juliet, Juliet says “If he be married/…

    Capulet raised Juliet in a way to make her feel unworthy and that her only importance is to move her family higher on the social hierarchy. His actions made Juliet resort to finding an escape from her arranged marriage and poor home life. The movie and play imply that Capulet’s actions and words toward Juliet are unfatherly and cruel. For example, when he finds his daughter sobbing, presumably about Tybalt’s death, he makes an attempt to hit her, but is blocked by the nurse. His lack of affection…

    Yes, Lord Capulet threatens to disown Juliet, but Juliet is very unappreciative of what he has done for her and she has no idea of what he has been through on her behalf. This family separation and tragedy did not start because Lord Capulet is a bad and uncomprehending father but rather because he has been working without her knowledge and acts just like any other parent in the world. Wouldn’t you act more protective, if one of your family members was killed by your enemy? At the end Lord Capulet states “As rich shall Romeo’s by his lady’s lie- Poor sacrifices of our enmity” (303-304) this suggests that Capulet promises Romeo what Montague will do for Juliet.…

    When a situation does not go according to plan, someone is always to be blamed. In William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Lord Capulet is partially to blame for the tragedy due to his inconsideration of his daughter’s opinions and feelings, however Friar Laurence takes most of the blame because of his failed plan to reunite the couple and his well-intentioned, but disastrous decision to marry them in the first place. Lord Capulet, although formally wanting Juliet’s consent to marry Paris, now threatens to disown her if she refuses. He expresses his disappointment and rage towards Juliet by furiously stating, “I tell thee what-get thee to church a’ Thursday Or never after look me in the face. Speak not, reply not, do not answer me” (III.v.162-164).…

    The male characters in Romeo and Juliet are angered often; whether they’re angry about a death, or when things don’t go their way. Lord Capulet is a prime archetype of this temperamental male character. He tends to be very demanding, and when he didn’t get what he wanted, he became extremely angry, furious even. For example, “Wife, we scarce thought us blest that God had lent us but this only child, but now I see this one is one too much,” (3.5.164-166). This shows that it is a dramatic reaction to her refusal to marry; the simplest thing of Juliet not wanting to get married yet made him overreact and disown his own daughter.…

    Capulet, Juliet’s father, was involved in many if not all of these deaths. Forcing Juliet against her will, showing no compassion or care nor kindness to her feelings, labelling his own flesh as a “burden”, are all triggers to Juliet that aid her stress and depression about Romeo. Juliet finds herself feeling alone and abandoned, believing she belongs nowhere else except Romeo’s side. Juliet found a somewhat happy ending in a twist of events that resulted in the Capulet and the Montague taking both their lives to be with each…
