Capulet's Relationship In Romeo And Juliet

“Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days”
In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Lady Capulet and the Nurse are central characters in Juliet’s life. Yet their relationships with Juliet are very different: Lady Capulet’s relationship with Juliet is similar of a manager and her subordinate. Meanwhile, Nurse and Juliet have a very close friendship that in the modern day, would be described as a best friendship, and the Nurse adds an overpowering motherly feel. Their very different relationships with Juliet and their concern for Juliet’s feelings through their words and actions highlight their differences.
The defining part of Lady Capulet’s character is that she is Juliet’s mother and Capulet’s wife, but never appears to behave like a mother does.
The Nurse wants Juliet to be happy, she says so at the end of Juliet’s first scene. She ensures that Romeo and Juliet get married, and tries to ensure Juliet is happy with the “wanton blood up in [her] cheeks” (II.v.71) all the time. She weeps with Juliet at the recent news of Romeo’s banishment and leaves to find Romeo “To comfort [Juliet]” (III.ii.139) even if Juliet’s comfort is temporary. In Act III Scene v, the Nurse jumps into Capulet’s ranting to try to calm him down so Juliet doesn’t have to be verbally assaulted any longer. After Capulet and Lady Capulet leave, Nurse gives Juliet some advice to follow her parent’s orders because she will never see Romeo again. She wants Juliet to move on because she thinks that a new love will make her happy. This line is to the detriment of their relationship, but she made this decision thinking of Juliet’s depressed pining for Romeo, causing her to cry for hours. Unlike the Nurse, Lady Capulet has a blasé outlook towards her daughter’s feelings. She asks Juliet’s opinion on marriage and then tells her to consider Paris. Juliet must respond to her mother’s orders so she says “I’ll look to like, if looking liking move;/But no more deep will I endart mine eye/ Than your consent gives strength to make it fly” (I.iii.98-100) to mask her feelings while appeasing Lady Capulet. Juliet says “He shall not make me a happy and joyful bride.” (III.v.118) and her mother seems to fixate on this line because she confesses that “I will not marry yet; and, when I do, I swear, /It shall be Romeo” (III.v.122-3), and Lady Capulet has no reaction whatsoever. After Capulet enters and Lady Capulet tells him Juliet’s decision, Juliet interrupts, covertly she telling her mother that she loves Romeo. Capulet flies into a rage unseen in his character before this and Lady Capulet asks Juliet if she’s crazy for her cryptic messages in front of her father nonetheless, not once thinking that her daughter
