5 KEY QUOTES

• my will to her consent is but a part - conflict


  deduce that he seems to care about Juliets opinion on marriage, later ironic given events that happen where he gives her no choice in marrying Paris - capulet's conflict represents conflict of many fathers of era in that duty fell into them to secure financially, socially and politically beneficial marriage for children - challenge for thus and satisfy child too
• hang, beg, starve, die - conflict


  cruel indifference, differs from when we assumed he cared so much for her - seems tyrannous, Shakespeare demonstrates conflict between him needing to assert authority yet loving and valuing her too
• fettle your fine joints - tyranny


  employs imperative to make him sound domineering - adjective 'fine' seems mocking, ridiculing Juliet's entitled and spoiled nature (as he sees it) - sudden switch in demeanour from act 1 when he genuinely concerns for her wellbeing is shocking, Shakespeare ensures we feel the same shock Juliet does by making anger seem to appear from nowhere so we sympathise with her more
• mis-sheathed - regret


  odd choice of words - seems like dagger accidentally placed in her chest, shows inability to grasp magnitude of what has happened to daughter - shows death to be a complex concept to fully comprehend - represents magnitude of his guilt
• sacrifices for (his) enmity - regret


  marks moment of realisation but irony is that it is too late- death of daughter is catalyst for realisation of juvenile nature of feud, audience can see guilt he feels for prioritising duties over daughters wellbeing - shakespeare uses tragedy to communicate that love should always supersede hate and family duty
