Capulet

Cards (2)

  • At the beginning of the play, Capulet appears to disregard the patriarchal expectations of his daughter, as he tells Paris he should "Let two more summers wither in their pride, Ere we may think (Juliet) ripe to be a bride." --> shows his care/ love for daughter as he wants best for her wellbeing. --> "my will to her consent is but a part" (defies patriarchal expectations)
  • "woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart. My will to her consent is but a part." --> Capulet says Paris needs to try and court her, as he wishes Paris to get Juliet's hand in marriage in a natural way/ a marriage of love, not arrangement
