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! I tell thee want: get to thee church o’ Thursday, or never after look me in the face. Speak not; reply not; do not answer me.” In this quote, Lord Capulet is expressing disdain for Juliet after she denied his request for her to marry Paris. He wasn’t thinking about his daughter’s well-being nor was he a responsible and caring parent to Juliet. Lady Capulet and the Nurse weren’t being understanding or supporting either, which caused her to go to Friar Lawrence. Lord Capulet wanted Juliet to marry Paris so the Capulet’s status would increase since now they would be part of …show more content…
On the night of the party, in response to Tybalt’s complaining about Romeo being there, Lord Capulet says, “I would not for the wealth of all this town here in my house do him disparagement. Therefore be patient. Take no note of him.” Lord Capulet was given the perfect opportunity to kick Romeo out of the party and prevent him from ever meeting Juliet. He didn’t think about his actions and, to him, taking the time to remove Romeo from the party would distract him from having fun and enjoying himself. This quote also gives insight into how selfish Lord Capulet and the families are, holding parties and continuing to fight with each other for the sake of fighting. If the families didn’t fight, they wouldn’t have anything to do and their lives would be
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? Isn’t she proud of such a match? Doesn’t she realize what a blessing this is?
Capulet is most to blame for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet because he over pressured Juliet to marry Paris. Juliet was married to Romeo at this point in the story. When she refused to marry Paris her father Capulet became extremely angry and threatened to disown her if she did not go through with the wedding. Angrily he stated, “Get thee to church a Thursday / Or never after look me in the face”(III.V.161-162). With this statement, Capulet showed how he cared more about how the family continues that Juliet’s happiness.
This quote shows that since they want Romeo dead Juliet and him have to split up. In Act 3 Scene 1 the Capulet’s says “Marry my child earky next Thursday morning. They is forcing Juliet into marriage nand now she hass to find a way out. Lord and Lady capulet bitterness have lead to the deaths of Romeo and Juliet.
When he needed to stay by her the most he gave up instead. Lord Capulet is the father of Juliet and a big part of the continuous feud between his family and the Montague’s. He was blind to the love in his beloved daughters heart for their enemy, Romeo. Instead of realizing the love that Juliet felt for another man he was forcing her to marry Paris, a perfect stranger. “But fettle your fine joint ‘gainst Thursday next to go with Paris to saint Peter’s church, or I will drag thee on a humble thither.”
This reason is that Lord Capulet's family has problems with Romeo's Family. If they never had problems then Juliet and Romeo would never killed there selves. I think they would have not committed suicide because Juliet could have simply told her father that she is in love with Romeo. But since they do have family feud if she told her father that he would have probably killed her. On the other hand when Romeo told his father about him marring Juliet his father wanted them to get married.
That can also be found in Act 3 scene 5. Finally, those are all my thoughts on why Lord Capulet is also responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. Additionally, Paris is responsible for the death of the Juliet. She never wanted to marry him.
“It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.” ~ Moliere. The quote above will be used to help blame those for the death and shows how being irresponsible can have fatal consequences. William Shakespeare also known as the writer of the tragedy Romeo and Juliet, a beloved tail were to lovers cross-paths and anticipate that faith has brought them together has a not so satisfying ending.
From what the quote is saying things have not been getting any better, and i don’t think that Lord Capulet is helping much with that. Lord Capulet has not been doing anything to stop the feud, he has just been keeping it
Lord Capulet was one of the individuals that contributed to the termination of Romeo and Juliet’s lives. Being irate, Lord Capulet forces Juliet into a dilemma by saying, “But fettle [her] fine joints ‘gainst Thursday next/ to go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church, or [he] will drag thee on a hurdle thither.” (III.v.154-156). Juliet characterizes as a loyal and obedient daughter, she always wants to please her parents whenever she can. This puts tons of pressure on Juliet’s decision.
In this case, it seems that Juliet has not had as much bonding with her Lady Capulet as much as she has with the nurse. Lady Capulet has always needed a person to help her even when it is something that she has been doing for years. Some people may argue that she doesn’t take care of her child as much
In this quote, Lord Capulet is saying that Juliet is to young to make a big decision like marriage. This quote was also chosen because it shows that she has no experience in the real world so she wouldn't be ready to be committed to a lifelong marriage. This shows that Romeo and Juliet are moving too fast and aren't ready for

The Capulets are deceitful, harsh, and inconsiderate for Juliet's feelings. They wanted to disown her when she told them that she didn't wanted to marry Paris. For example, from act 3 scene 2 when Lady Capulet says, "Talk not to me, for I'll shall not speak a word. " If Lady Capulet would have listened to her, then maybe Juliet wouldn't have to try to plot to get out of the wedding. It was because of
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.
