Capulet+C


 * Jane S. (:**

Capulet, Juliet's father is definitely responsible for his daughter's "death". Who was he to force Juliet to marry someone she did not love? Below are some textual evidence to support that Capulet did not have the right to say these horrible words to her own daughter who then in turn had to respond in an equally horrible way to her parents by faking her own death.

1) (3.5.152-4) " Thank me no thankings, nor proud me no prouds, But fettle your fine joints 'gainst Thursday next To go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church,"

2) (3.5.155-8) "Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thither. Out, you green sickness, carrion! Out, you baggage! You tallow face!"

3) (3.5.160) "Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!"

4) (3.6.167-168) "And that we have a curse in having her. Out on her, hilding!"

5) (3.6.192-195) "An you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend. An you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, For, by my soul, I’ll ne'er acknowledge thee, Nor what is mine shall never do thee good."


 * Jenny Youn**

Capulet was Juliet's beloved father. Capulet was a bit ruthless and inflexible towards his one and only daughter's romantic life. He was the one that had impelled and forced for her to fall in love with a man whom she could not. Her father shouldn't have been closing doors to Juliet's true love (Romeo) because he should have known that all of these oppressions he laid upon Juliet would cause a greater consequence towards the end of the book. That is obviously Juliet's death. Also, if Capulet had at least made an attempt to somehow make a treaty between the Montagues then there wouldn't have been as much controversy going on between Romeo and Juliet. He only makes things worse by trying to hasten Paris and Juliet's marriage. Also, Capulet gave birth to Juliet with Lady Capulet

1. " Thou villain Capulet! - Hold me not; let me go." (1.1.81) 2. "Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender Of my child's love. I think she will be ruled In all respects by me. nay, more I doubt it not.-Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed. Aquait her here of my son Paris' love" (3.4.13-17) 3. "When the sun sets, the earth doth drizzle dew, But for the sunselt of my brother's son It rains downright. How now, a conduit, girl? What, still in tears? Evermore show'ring? In one litle body thou counterfeits a bark, a sea, a wind. (3.5.135) 4. " How, how, how, how? Chopped logic? What is this? 'Proud,' and "i thank you," and I thank you not" and yet not proud'?" (3.5.154-56) 5. "But, an you will not wed. I'll pardon you! Graze where you will, you shall not house with me. Look to 't; think on 't. I do not use to jest." (3.5.`99-201)
