The Capulet Family in William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet :: Romeo and Juliet Essays

The Capulet Family in Romeo and Juliet         The Capulet family is one of pride and high social standing.  It consists of overlord and Lady Capulet, their young daughter Juliet, and their kinsman Tybalt. They progress to a nurse, as well, who has taken care if Juliet since she was born. They get along quite well, yet, like all families they have their differences.         However, one thing that happens frequently when two members of the family disaccord on something, is that usually someone gives in to their superior, regardless if they agree or non.  One example is when Romeo shows up at the Capulets party uninvited and Tybalt wants to throw him out.  Lord Capulet objects to this by saying, He shall be endured...I say he shall...Am I the master here or you?  For a little bit, Tybalt argues, barely he very presently backs down and lets Capulet have his way.         Perhaps the reason why this happens is because the inferior person is somewhat intimidated by the superior.  This intimidation that some of the characters produce on each(prenominal) other shows that there is not a great deal of communication in the family.  Throughout Act I, there were several more examples of characters yielding to others and not standing up for what they believe.  For instance, when Lady Capulet brought up the idea of Juliet marrying Paris, Juliet just went along with the concept , even though that was possibly not what she wanted.         An  even more probative instance of such a thing occurring is the fact that Juliet feared to tell her parents that she had fallen in love with Romeo, a Montague.  She knew that if she informed them of how she felt, they would get angry and maybe resign her, just because of their hate for all Montagues.         That is another of the Capulet familys flaws.  T hey are rather narrow-minded because of their continuing, senseless conflict with the Montagues.  Both households are of equal fault in this case, but that only proves that the two families are alike in that way.  Even still, if the Capulets believe that they truly are the more dignified, they should have ceased their dispute earlier and prevented their daughters unhappiness (and last death).
