Arwen Harris - How Lord Capulet is Portrayed in Act Three, Scene Five

# data[].attributes.body
Juliet, from the house of Capulet, is unlike any other upper class family members. She doesn’t marry for just money, status or for just having children. Her views on marriage are very different to her parents’. They believe in wealth and status while Juliet believes in true love.

In Shakespearean times, her views would be considered abnormal and unacceptable. So when Lord and Lady Capulet discover her views on marriage, their reactions are extremely vicious.

With Lady Capulet being the first person Juliet told about marriage, she knew that a wave of anger and disgust was going to befall her when Lady Capulet said “Here comes your father, tell him so yourself; And see how he will take it at your hands.”

This could also link to how mothers would react to their children acting inappropriately today. They would say, “Just wait until your father hears about this.”. Even with the difference in today’s time and the Shakespearean times, the father is still a force not to be reckoned with; they are still considered to have the higher authority due to their strength and past in history to be the superior sex compared to women.

This is more evident when Lord Capulet asks Lady Capulet about wether or not she had asked Juliet. He asks, “Have you delivered her our decree?”, this even shows that he believed that his orders are law and that they must be obeyed. He is clearly shown to be a demanding man and, in a way, spoilt. This could also make the reader believe that he was a very demanding child, and so, became a very demanding and impatient man.

When Juliet says to her father, she gets a very harsh reply which escalated to threats and hateful comments. The audience today would be shocked by how he had shown this but back in Shakespearean times, they would have been understanding and, perhaps, been able to relate to him. Juliet would have been said to have been shameful, spoilt and ungrateful but in recent times, she would have been considered brave or even admirable for speaking her mind against her father, meaning that this entire scene has a mixed audience and causes discussion.

Lord Capulet didn’t try to hide his disgust in Juliet during Act Two, Scene Five. Compared to Act One Scene Two, Lord Capulet is a completely different person and made a vast majority of the audience dislike him.

He is obviously a violent man who is demanding and is very hypocritical.

He asks Lady Capulet, “Have you delivered our decree?”, showing that he believes that his word is law and must be obeyed by everybody under his roof. When he is told by Juliet that she declines Paris’ hand in marriage, he is struck with a wave of confusion which could stem from the fact that he is used to everybody obeying him and following his orders. This is shown when he bursts out with “How how, how how, chopp’d logic!”, he (at first) thinks that she is speaking in riddles or that he had misheard her.

He had previously told Paris that, “She hath not seen the change of fourteen years, let two more summers wither in her pride. Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.”, so when he is mocking Juliet with “Proud” and “I thank you” and “I thank you not” is very hypocritical of him. He, at first, believe that she is too young to marry and then he calls her a “mistress minion” for declining Paris. (Mistress minion = Spoilt child/brat).

After visibly mocking her he begins to threat her and hurt her emotionally.

He threatens to “drag thee on a hurdle thither.”, meaning he with forcibly drag her to the church if it means she will marry Paris. Then he calls Juliet “baggage”. He could be calling her baggage because she is like a bag. To people, a bag is a burden, unfortunately necessary and a burden, so he is calling her a burden to him. Not needed. Unwanted.

Even his outburst was surprising to Lady Capulet, “Fie, fie, what, are you mad?”, she is agreeing with what he is saying about Juliet being a burden and a spoilt madam but even she was shocked when he said he would forcibly drag her to the church like a criminal or an object.

He begins to get extremely violent and angry when he yells, “My fingers itch, Wife,”, he is saying that he is tempted to strike Juliet for being a “Disobedient wretch” and a “mistress minion” and that he is outraged that she has disagreed with him. He doesn’t believe that women should be disobedient to men; they believe that because they have more physical strength they can order anybody around as if dogs/slaves/objects.

A truly hurtful statement said to Juliet was “we have a curse in having her.”, this is even more hurting when her mother doesn’t say anything against his notion. This would make any child, these days or then, feel unwanted and a burden on society.

The audience then would have mixed signals because men could agree with his statement and completely justified yet quite a number would have found it disgusting and horrible to say that to a child (bearing in mind that she is 13 years of age). But the audience today would find it completely vile. Fathers and mothers today are much more considerate and neutering towards their family, no matter the gender, and would find it perplexing as to why anybody would say that to a child.

Still infuriated, he continues to attack Juliet with insults and threats. He curses using the term “God’s bread,” and then says “I do not used to jest.”. He is dead serious and his decisions will not be swayed or foiled by a 13 year old. He does not joke about the matter and will not stop until he gets what he wants, Juliet to marry Paris.

To make this point crystal clear, to Juliet and anybody else listening, he yells “hang, beg, starve, die in the streets. For, by my soul, I’ll never acknowledge thee, nor what is mine do thee good. Trust to’t, bethink you. I’ll not be forsworn.” He outright threatens Juliet by saying that he will not care if she was hung, starved or died in the streets and the he will not acknowledge her (by disowning her) and that he trusts the she will rethink what she had told him (by trusting her to rethink what she had told him, he means You will rethink it and you will marry Paris). He “Shall not be forsworn”, he will not be told lies or false promises. He will be obeyed.

This is how I believe Lord Capulet was portrayed in the play Romeo and Juliet.

An excellent response, Arwen! Well done!

Try not to use so many simple sentences in your response; make it sophisticated.

Act one scene two. Lord capulet is portrayed as a loving, caring and protective father, when asked by Paris to marry Juliet he does not approve, he thinks she is too young and says “my child is yet a stranger in this world” and then goes on to say “let two more summers wither in their pride” this means that lord capulet wants Paris to wait until she is 16 before he asks Juliet to marry him, this shows us that lord capulet is protective and thinks Juliet is “the hopeful lady of my earth” this shows us that he thinks very fondly of her. But this all changes in act three scene five where he turns into a demanding, violent and horrible father, he believes that she should marry Paris even though she doesn’t want to purely because he said so, he says “hang, beg, starve, die in the street” this shows us that any respect he had for her has gone and he thinks she is his property and not family, the difference between the two acts implies that he doesn’t care about Juliet and thinks she should obey him no matter how she feels about it as he is her farther.

In Act one Scene two Lord capulet is shown as loving,gentle and caring this is because he says 'let to more summers' this shows that Lord capulet is wants Juliet to be 16 when she is marrying Paris he is trying to protect Juliet this is shown by saying 'my child is yet a stranger to this world' this tells us that she does not know what the world is and how i treats her. 'But woo her,gentle Paris,get her heart' this is implying that for the next two years he wants Paris to be cind and caring to Juliet. But then in Act Three Scence Five he has totally changed his ways by being short tempered and not showing love and care at all

# data[].attributes.body
In Act One,Scene Two, Lord Capulet is seen as a living and caring father. He argues with Paris after his proposal for Juliet’s hand in marriage ‘let two more summers dither’ shows Capulet knows his daughter is not ready for marriage. Even though Capulet has said no, he advises Paris to ‘woo’ Juliet, to ‘get her heart’ so that the marriage doesn’t seem forced and Juliet can get to know Paris. However in Act One, Scene Five Lord Capulet is seen as arrogant, agressive and threatening. He shows he is arrogant when he mimics Juliet after she rejects the proposal ‘Proud’ and ‘I thank you’ and ‘I thank you not’. He is expressing his anger and shouting at Juliet because he is so surprised with the fact that she has turned down an offer such as this. Juliet would only want to marry for love, whereas her parents want her parents to marry Paris because of the stays they would gain from it. Capulet goes on to prove he is agressive when he asks Lady Capulet ‘have you delivered to her our decree?’ This shows that marrying Paris wasn’t an option and that Capulet is now eager to get Juliet married to Paris and angry beacause Juliet is disobeying his orders. Looking at the text, you can see that Capulet is threatening when he sais ‘I will drag thee on a hurdle thither’ this shows there is no option for Juliet to not marry Paris.

First of all Lord capulet was loving and caring in Act one scene two by saying to Paris 'let two more summers' this implies that he wants Juilet to be 16 this bea cause he wants her to not be a stranger to the world as much as she is at the age of 14, we know this because he tells the audience 'my child is yet a stranger in the world' so he want Paris to wait until she's older 'but woo her,gentle Paris,get her heart' so Lord capulet wants to let Paris win Juliet. But then in Act three Scene five he is shown as short tempered and just cares about martieralist items this is shown by 'mistress minion you?' This it implying that she is spoilt and a minion to Lord and lady capulet. 'My fingers itch' this suggests that he wants to hit Juilet because she won't marry Paris.'hang,beg,starve, die on the streets' he is showing his anger in ways it should not be shown, he is also listing threats that if she doesn't marry Paris this will happen.

At the beginning Lord Capulet is portrayed as an ordinary loving father, when Paris shares with Capulet his wish to marry Juliet Capulet reacts very fairly in Juliet’s favour and responds to Paris by saying “woo her gentle Paris” and “give her two more summers”. This suggests that Capulet thinks they should get to know eachother, also remaining respectful and protective over her daughter’s age. But in a matter of days Capulet’s behaviour becomes much more intense, he completely changes his mind about the marriage and tells Juliet that Paris and she will be marrying on Thursday. Juliet abruptly refuses and Capulet begins to act abusively towards Juliet, throughout their argument Capulet refers to wanting to hit Juliet, an example of this is “my fingers itch”. Juliet begs at her father’s feet while he viciously mocks her by saying “I am too young”, “I’ll not wed” and “I cannot love”. This clearly makes Juliet feel very vulnerable and pressured into doing what her father wants. A quote by Capulet which stood out to me was “hang, beg, starve, die in the streets” which shows a truly vicious side of Capulet, in the quote he is referring to homelessness and this proves that Capulet does not believe in true love and wants Juliet to marry only for money and a wealthy future.

A clear understanding of Lord Capulet is shown here, Taryn. Well done!

How is lord Capulet portrayed in Romeo and Juliet

# data[].attributes.body
In the scene Lord Capulet is shown to be a loving,caring and protecting father towards Juliet. As it goes on Lord Capulet changes his mind about Paris and Juliet. But Juliet didn't want to marry Paris, and she had told Lady Capulet about it. As furious as she was the father and found out and had said 'how now, wife? Have u delivered to her our decree?' This suggests that it's not an option and that Juliet doeany have a choice about the situation. Further more it says 'How will she none? Doth she not give us thanks?' This emply's that he is letting out anger and fustration by asking rhetorical questions. As the scene goes on Lord Capulet says 'get thee to a church a' Thursday, or never after look me in the face' this creates anGerman towards Juliet and means that if Juliet doesn't marry Paris, Lord Capulet wouldn't want to see her again because she's not doing what Lord Capulet demands her to do. Due to the fact that Lord Capulet is angry with Juliet, this quote says 'My figures itch' This shows that Lord Capulet wants to hit Juliet because he's so infuriated with Juliet

During Act one scene two Lord Capulet is a kind , caring and protective Farther to his young daughter Juliet as he does not yet want Juilet to marry, he is strong by his words and says to count Paris "Let two more summers wither in her pride" which implies that Lord capulet thinks that Juillet is too young to marry Paris and that she needs two more summers before she is ready to marry. However in Act three scene five when Lord Capulet approaches Juilet about the marriage with Paris she is shook, and refuses to marry which is her fathers request, this infuriates Lord capulet resulting in him calling  Juliet "Baggage" implying that Juillet is nothing put a heavy weight pulling Lord capulet down, this shows the amount of change that the character lord Capulet has shown for Act one Scene two. Due to Juliets decline Lord Capulet Quotes "my fingers are itching" which is almost a threat as such towards his own Daughter Juillet, this has shown us that Lord Capulet is not a loving and caring farther and he does not respect and care for his only child. Some people may believe that actually Juillet is in the wrong as back in the 1500's people of the higher class would experience arranged marriage alot as it was a very common thing back then, this then proves the point that juilet is being a spoiled brat and not taking a wonderful opportunity that her farther has given her and that then resulting in Lord capulet being angry and disrespectful to his daughter Juliet.

Lord Capulet is first of all shown as a gentle,loving father who would do anything for his young child Juliet,but further on into the story we find that actually Lord Capulet is a very overprotective,short tempered man who insists on Juliet marrying Paris. Juliet disobeys her father at one point and Lord Capulet turns violent and starts to push Juliet around. Lord Capulet tells Paris that Juliet needs two more summers before they can marry,but as soon as Tybalt dies a few days later,he completely changes his mind and says they shall marry the Thursday of that week,Paris only wants to marry Juliet for a gold position,which is a norm for higher/middle class people.

In Acton One Scene Two, Lord Capulet is portrayed to be a loving, caring and protective father. We begin to notice this when Paris requests for Juliet's hand in marriage. Capulet warns Paris that she is too young when saying "let two more summers wither in their pride, ere we may think her ripe to be a bride". This suggests that he believes Juliet is too young as she is only fourteen. He would prefer if Paris waited at least another two years for them to be wed. This highlights that he is a protective father as he doesn't want Juliet to be forced into marrying someone so powerful. He also mentions "my will to her consent is but a part" which shows how this decision is not only his own but Juliet's also. This makes him seem like a very considerate person as he takes on board his daughters opinion aswell as his own. On the other hand, in Acton Three Scene Five Capulet's personality completely changes. In this scene he approaches Juliet to request her opinion about the marriage. After she expresses her opinion to Lord Capulet, he is left in complete shock as she clearly isn't comfortable with the idea marrying Paris. He then begins threatening Juliet with what will happen if she will not get married on the following thursday. He shouts "hang, beg, starve, die in the streets" revealing how she will not be welcome under his roof if she does not marry him. In a summary, at the beggining of the play Lord Capulet is very loyal, considerate and protective of Juliet but towards the end his personality quickly changes as Juliet disobeys his orders. This may be because in the Elizabethan times women were inferior to men and it was unusual for a women to state their own opinions.

Lord Capulet is portrayed as a two sided father. We can see this at the start of one scene he is a very protective parent as he doesn't want her to get married early on in life as he states 'she is yet a stranger to the world. But he does show another side of himself as he says she should die if she doesn't marry Paris and Lord Capulet also said that he thinks that he is now cursed with the child he had. He also has lots more power over Juliet as she is very obedient to his orders.

Lord capulet is shown as a very divided person in the play Romeo And Juliet. We can infer he is a very protective, loving father but on the other hand he is a short tempered, angry and controlling man. His character is very bipolar, we can see this by the double standerds he portrayes in the play, he tells Paris to “Let two more summers either in their pride, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride”. Telling Paris to wait two more years until he proposes for Juliet’s hand in marriage telling Paris she is too young but Lord Capulet mocks Juliet saying she WILL marry Paris. Which is a normal thing to happen to higher/middle class families in the 1500’s whereas lower class families would tend to marry for love.

- A good response, Mason showing some understanding of Lord Capulet's character!

Lord Capulet is shown to be a very strict man, however because in the 1500s people would marry for money and to show strength. Lord Capulet is a very violent man when something doesn’t go his way for example, when Juliet denied the wedding he threatened her by listing ways of how she can die and how ungrateful she is. In the 1500s men were stronger than woman so even though Juliet didn’t want to marry Paris lord capulet easily over powered her and forced her to marry, this is when an argument began. His character at the beginning of the film made him look like a very protective and caring father but as Juliet denied his offer you see another side of him.

- I like how you mentioned that Lord Capulet easily over powers Juliet.
