Lord Capulet
Father
At first, he seems like a pretty good dad. When Paris comes sniffing around for thirteen-year-old Juliet's hand in marriage, Capulet puts him of, citing Juliet's young age and even suggesting that he'd like his daughter to marry for "love" (1.2.2-3). This, by the way, is pretty uncommon in Shakespeare's plays. Most fathers (like Baptista Minola in The Taming of the Shrew) broker marriages like business deals, without ever consulting their daughters.

But Lord Capulet doesn't play the good father for long. Paris eventually wears him down and convinces him that he and Juliet should wed (3.4.2). (By this point, Juliet is already be secretly married to Romeo.) The thing is, Juliet's not exactly down with marrying Paris and things get ugly when she tells her father as much.

Lord Capulet's response to Juliet's "disobedience" is so violently harsh that we begin to see him as a bit of a tyrant. We see the physical aggression most prominently in the big, confrontational scene with Juliet over whether or not she will marry Paris. When Juliet refuses, Capulet screams, "Out you baggage, / you tallow face" (3.5.3) and says, "My fingers itch" when Juliet stands up, which may suggest that he's prone to physical violence
His attitude towards Juliet shows this mixture of traits also. When Paris asks for her hand in marriage, he says that she is too young and that Paris should let two more years pass. He also seems to say that his agreement is only a part of such an arrangement and that Juliet must agree, also. Yet as negotiations with Paris continue in Act III, Capulet assumes that Juliet will do exactly as he wishes. In his conversation with Paris, he also shows more concern about his image than about his daughter's feelings. He thinks she is extremely grieved by Tybalt's death, not at all suspecting the real cause of her grief, Romeo's banishment. He appears to be more concerned about how the scheduling of the marriage will affect townspeople's attitudes towards the seriousness or casualness of his grieving for Tybalt. As Juliet and her parents discuss the arranged marriage to Paris and Juliet's unwillingness to participate in the wedding is revealed, Capulet threatens to throw Juliet out and let her die in the streets. Even after this confrontation with Juliet, Capulet continues with wedding preparations, indicating his complete disregard for Juliet's hopes for her future. When Juliet pretends that she has just returned from confession to Friar Lawrence and is sorry for her stubbornness, Capulet is so pleased he changes the wedding date, demonstrating again how out of touch he is with his daughter's true feelings.
Capulet believes he knows what is best for Juliet. He says that his consent to the marriage depends upon what she wants and tells Count Paris that if he wants to marry her he should wait a while then ask her. Later, however, when Juliet is grieving over Romeo's being sent away, Capulet thinks her sorrow is due to Tybalt's death and in a misguided attempt to cheer her up, he wants to surprise her by arranging a marriage between her and Count Paris – the catch is that she has to be "ruled" by her father and to accept the proposal. When she refuses to become Paris's "joyful bride", saying that she can "never be proud of what she hates", he becomes furious, threatening to make her a street urchin, calling her "hilding" (meaning "slut" or "whore"), "unworthy", "young baggage" and "disobedient wretch" (along with "green-sickness carrion" and "tallow-face"), as well as saying that God's giving Juliet to them was a "curse" and that he now realizes that he and his wife had one child too many when Juliet was born

Husband
Lord Capulet's relationship with his wife is also up for debate. Lady Capulet is probably much younger than he, since she was married to him when she was about twelve years old. Needless to say, this age difference seems to have caused some tension in their marriage. "Too soon marred are those so early made [wives]," he tells Paris, clearly referencing his own wife
Citizen
A leading citizen of Verona and head of one of the two feuding families. His attitudes seem to display a mixture of qualities rather than conveying a sense of consistency of action. When the audience first sees him, he is calling for a sword to join in the fighting of the servants and young men in the opposing households. He acts this way even though he is an older man and a more dignified behavior would most likely be more appropriate for his age. However, he is concerned with maintaining order in his own house, especially after the prince's promise to execute any disturbers of the peace. Thus, he takes pains to prevent Tybalt from starting a brawl in his house at the party. Capulet is also motivated by his desire to appear as a good host. He jokes with the guests, compliments the dancers, orders the servants to regulate the heat in the room better by subduing the fire, and takes a peaceful attitude towards Romeo's uninvited presence at the feast. As a citizen, Lord Capulet is involved in the ancient grudge that has plagued Verona. Due to his lack of maturity and constant fighting with the Montagues, the fued continues. In the end, Lord Capulet becomes remorseful for his role in the death of Romeo and Juliet.

    Lady Capulet calls to her daughter. Juliet wonders why her mother would come to speak to her so early in the morning. Unaware that her daughter is married to Romeo, Lady Capulet enters the room and mistakes Juliet’s tears as continued grief for Tybalt. Lady Capulet tells Juliet of her deep desire to see “the villain Romeo” dead (3.5.80). In a complicated bit of punning every bit as impressive as the sexual punning of Mercutio and Romeo, Juliet leads her mother to believe that she also wishes Romeo’s death, when in fact she is firmly stating her love for him. Lady Capulet tells Juliet about Capulet’s plan for her to marry Paris on Thursday, explaining that he wishes to make her happy. Juliet is appalled. She rejects the match, saying “I will not marry yet; and when I do, I swear / It shall be…

    Lady Capulet proposes that her daughter has a “Careful father” which exposes things like how Lady Capulet expresses the feelings that she is supposedly to have towards her daughter and her husband. Instantly the audience senses that Lady Capulet may entirely be terrified of her husband although it isn’t actually shown in the play. Most parents ask their daughters/son to get to know the person who they could marry, however Lord Capulet demands that Juliet marries Paris and also if she disobeys her father’s orders than Lord Capulet would disown her. On the other hand Lord Capulet has gone behind his daughters wishes and consent by securing the marriage with Paris. Shakespeare doesn’t conclude this so he infests a seed into…

    Lord Capulet reaction to Juliet’s refusal to marry Paris pushes her to such an extent that she must run away with Friar Lawrence’s plan. Had they been more concerned, Lord Capulet was so intent on saving his reputation; he did not realize all the pain he was putting his child through. He also speeds up the day off marriage with Paris, without Juliet’s consent. Lord Capulet from what we know has a temper, and when he hears that Juliet does not want to marry Paris this angers him extremely. “What’s this? What’s this? Subtle hairsplitting! What’s this? Proud, and Thank you and no, thanks- and even not proud. You cheeky girl, you, I’ll have none of your thanks, thank you, none of your, proud! Just get your fine self-ready for next Thursday, to go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church, or I’ll drag you there on a sled! Pah! You sick looking object! Get away with you, you minx! You coward!” (Act 3 Scene 5 pg.183) Being blinded by anger, he goes to the extremes not thinking how this might affect how his “loyal” daughter might react, and says he will disown her. “Be hanged with you, you hussy, you disobedient wretch! I’ll tell you what: get to church on Thursday, or never look at me in the face again. Don’t say anything. Don’t reply! My fingers are itching! Wife, we thought we were very lucky that God gave us this only child-but now I realize we’ve been cursed in having her!” (Act 3 Scene 5…

    Lord Capulets’ fiery, passionate temper toward his daughter impacted most of Juliet’s decisions throughout the play. Ever since the beginning of the play, Capulet felt that he had a huge responsibility for Juliet, and that he had to choose who she was going to marry.

    Capulet, dishearten about the recent death of Tybalt, reschedules and plans the wedding of the County Paris in order to bring happiness rather than woe for Juliet, “O' Thursday let it be.—O' Thursday, tell her…” (Shakespeare 3.4.22-25). Capulet not only created rash decisions for his own benefit (social status, security, and economic state) and forces marriage on to Juliet, but has complicated Romeo and Juliet’s plan to be together. Juliet revokes this arranged marriage and is overwhelmed by the advancement that her parents have created. Capulet, being the head of household has patriarchal power making it harder for Juliet’s opinion to be valid. He uses force and power showing that he is selfish and prone to rage, “Hang thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch!... An you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend.” (Shakespeare 3.5.160-167,177-196). Juliet begs to cancel the marriage but he being a misogynist, revokes her opinion, and in hope to know what is best for her. He continues to use verbal abuse to prove his point and treats her as a piece of property instead of a human being. The lack of proper communication and contentment presented proves how challenging it is for Juliet to reveal to her parents that she is loyal and married to Romeo and that her opinion is valid, gives her further reason to be disobedient. Her parents fail to acknowledge that this is a new step in her life due to being with a different guardian, and the overwhelming amount of misinterpreted emotions that she is experiencing, such as her parents believing that she is only crying for the death Tybalt, but for the exile of Romeo…

    At the beginning of the play, Paris asks lord Capulet for Juliet’s hand in marriage. However, lord Capulet replies ‘my child is yet a stranger in the world’. This shows us that lord Capulet does not agree with Paris and Juliet’s marriage, he has proven this to the audience by describing Juliet as a ‘stranger in the world’. By using the word ‘child’ and ‘stranger’, lord Capulet is implying that his daughter is not mature enough and that she still hasn’t seen the world properly. Nonetheless, Paris replies ‘younger than she are happy mother’s made’. This shows us how desperate Paris is, in marrying Juliet. Not only that, but it is also demonstrating how Paris is trying to persuade lord Capulet by saying ‘younger than she’. This suggests the fact that Paris believes Juliet would make a good mother even though she is fourteen and that many girls ‘younger’ than her have been made ‘happy mothers’ too. However, lord Capulet is not too keen on having his daughter married to Paris at such a young age. This shows us how protective he is of Juliet, which is why he invites Paris to his feast the following night, so he can ‘win her heart’. This shows us what a…

    Lord Capulet is informing Juliet that she is to get married on Thursday. He forces Juliet to get married to Paris. Here is what Lord Capulet says: “disobedient wretch!/ 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/ My fingers itch. Wife we scarce thought us blest” (3.5.161-165) Juliet isn’t in love with Paris, and he father is forcing the marriage which gets her more upset. That has a huge effect because it is then the whole reason why Juliet took the actions that she did. Which made Romeo then take actions as well. Capulet wanted the best for his daughter but he wasn’t aware of the love she already had for someone else. Juliet's secrecy and him trying to force something just made it worse for the two star-crossed lovers to be together. Capulet is the cause of many events that occurred. He was trying to separate them even more than they already…

    In this scene Juliet`s parents reveal to her about her arranged marriage with Paris, as Juliet`s reaction to this is negative Capulet is not very pleased, it reveals an angry and threatening side of him. He shows no interest in Juliet`s feelings as he says “speak not, reply not, do not answer me” this shows how unemotional he is, a few scenes before we saw a version of Capulet who respected Juliet`s wishes- but after this scene we see a side that somehow gives me the impression of the real Capulet. I get this idea as there is no one of the public to witness this so anything he says will not be at risk of his reputation being damaged- as it is the only thing he seems to care about-he says to Juliet what is really in his mind. He is very impatient and does not want to deal with the situation that Juliet is putting him in, he will throw away Juliet`s wishes i other to fulfil his own, this tells me that he is a selfish man and does not love his daughter enough to care, this might be because in Shakespearean time women took care of the children so the father might not have a real connection with his…

    Throughout the story, he attempts to save himself any trouble, and make himself look as good as possible. Some of the actions he chooses to follow result in the story unfolding in a completely different direction and ruining Romeo and Juliet’s plans, as he does many things spontaneously without asking anybody else what they think about the matter at hand. An event with this clear is when he arranges Juliet’s marriage to Paris, without consulting his wife or Juliet beforehand. Without faltering he declares to his wife, “A Thursday let it be-a Thursday, tell her, / She shall be married to this noble earl” (3.4.23-24). Juliet is forcefully against the said marriage, as she has already wed Romeo and loves him dear, and makes quite rash decisions because of it. Capulet clearly leaves his mark on the story, altering the way everything comes together in an attempt to improve his social status, but ending in the death of his daughter and her…
