...Lord Capulet, the fickle and disloyal father of Juliet, contributes to the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.

In response, Lord Capulet states to Tybalt that, “Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone./’A bears him like a portly gentlemen,/And, to say truth, Verona brags of him/To be a virtuous and well-governed youth./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,” (I, v, 65-71).

...that Lord Capulet played a primary role in this great tragedy. Many people are to blame for the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. One character that stood out in the play was Lord Capulet, Juliet's father. One reason Lord Capulet is to blame is because he was not a good role model for Juliet and he did not care for her well-being. One example of his poor behavior is when Juliet's cousin, Paris, asks to marry her even though she does not want to marry him. Lord Capulet's response to Paris was to wait two summers so that Juliet would be older when she married. It is also very important to have a good relationship with your father. Juliet always went behind her father's back and never told him where she was going. This demonstrates their poor father-daughter relationship. Another...

...what, and never leave them. Unfortunately, in the play, Romeo and Juliet, that is not the case.

...William Shakespeare, the author of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, sets his play in the city of Verona, where two star-crossed lovers perish due to a series of intervening characters. One of which includes Lord Capulet, the Patriarch of the Capulet Family, who implicitly induces the five demises that occur throughout the play. Playing a leading role during Juliet’s life, Capulet alters many of Juliet’s intentions and thoughts, such as when Capulet proclaims that “[Juliet] should be married to this noble earl [Paris],” although Juliet declares that she has no deliberation to marry at such a young age (III.iv.22). Furthermore, when Juliet declines Capulet’s suggestion for marriage, he chastises her by calling her a “young baggage” and a “disobedient wretch!” which reveals his malevolence towards his daughter (III.v.160)....

...Following the death of Tybalt Capulet, the Prince has decided to punish Romeo for the murder of another human being. While Romeo could have faced the death penalty, the Prince was satisfied with banishing Romeo from Verona. While many would view banishment as a blessing instead of the death penalty, Romeo sees it as even worse of a punishment. When hearing about his punishment, Romeo said, “There is no world without Verona walls, but purgatory, torture, hell itself.” Romeo seems to think that life outside of Verona will be terrible, mostly because he will be away from the girl that he is in love with. Following his banishment, the Prince has also made it very clear that if Romeo tries to stay in Verona, he will be killed.

If Lord Capulet would have listen to Juliet nothing would have gone wrong with the plan Friar Laurence had for Juliet and she could have also married Romeo....

...The Capulets’ nurse and Lady Capulet act as character foils throughout Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” This is because their differing characteristics help portray a contrast between the two of them. The Capulet family is first introduced in Act 1 Scene 3 of the play. It is already clear that Lady Capulet is more serious and scholarly while the nurse acts as a comic relief. Along with this, Lady Capulet seems to care about Juliet’s appearance and reputation and how it will affect the Capulet name while the nurse genuinely looks out for Juliet’s best interest. Even though Lady Capulet is Juliet’s biological mother, she doesn’t act as a maternal figure to Juliet. It can be likely inferred that the nurse spends more time with Juliet than Lady...

We are supposed to learn that you shouldn't make people hate each other and that a lot of pain and suffering could have been resolved if they had made up or just let Romeo and Juliet get on with their lives without interfering and trying to separate them and control them. The prologue is supposed to captivate the audience in a trance so they don't lose track of the play. The way the sonnet was written as well is good for the rhythm of the prologue.
