Lord Capulet Letter Analysis
Salutations Lord and Lady Capulet,

You both know of my desire to marry your daughter, Juliet, and I have decided to write this letter to prove why I should be allowed to take your daughter’s hand in marriage. We have discussed this before, Lord Capulet, and while you have told me to woo her, I hope this letter will help show you why I would be a great husband for Juliet. I’m sorry for the loss of your dear kinsman, Tybalt, but this further proves why we should make haste with this marriage. I know Juliet is going to be mourning over his death, and without anyone to comfort her, she will become more and more depressed. If I’m allowed to marry her, hopefully I will bring your daughter and her family joy despite the sad foundation this marriage

    Lies My Teacher Told Me And Dr Schweikart Summary

    After reading both introductions from Dr.Loewen’s Lies My Teacher Told Me and Dr. Schweikart’s 48 Liberal Lies About American History I would have to agree with Dr.Loewen. Schweikart made accusations that facts, true facts, were missing from our textbooks and that the facts that are being placed in our textbooks are unimportant, and have nothing to do with how America’s future will look. Whereas Lowen made the point, that I fully believe, that “These books are huge”(Loewen 3). I mean don’t get me wrong I love reading. I enjoy reading about our nation’s history. I just enjoy reading about it without all the banners and highlighted words. I agree with Loewen, these textbooks are making learning about history boring.…

    Lord Capulet's Abrasive Analysis

    Through Lord Capulet’s abrasive behavior and response towards the defiant Juliet, he moves the play forward and develops tension for the reader. As Lord Capulet arranges a marriage for Paris and Juliet, he demands, “she shall be married to this noble earl” (3.5.21).

In an effort to lose the feeling of heartache and anguish in the Capulet family, he takes advantage of his superiority to force Juliet to do what he desires. Juliet’s secret marriage with Romeo becomes a problem when her father sets another marriage with Paris creating a feeling of nervousness for the reader.

    Maie Tape's Letter Analysis

    Mary and Joseph Tape were immigrants from China who now resided in the U.S. with their daughter Mamie. Despite Mamie’s clear citizenship, being born in the U.S., she was denied education at the local public school. School board members refused to place the children of Chinese immigrants within the public school system and any faculty who disobeyed this policy would be removed from their position. So, Mary and Joseph took it upon themselves to fight this prejudice with a letter addressed to the Board of Education as well as the current school superintendent. The Tape’s letter eventually found its way to the Superior Court of San Francisco, who ruled that the prejudice taken up against Mamie Tape was, in fact, unconstitutional. Following the…

    Compare the ways the contrast between two fathers and their daughters are made interesting in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and ‘An Inspector Calls’

    In ‘Romeo and Juliet’, Lord Capulet seems to be very caring and considerate towards Juliet when speaking to Paris, a man that Lord Capulet would like Juliet to marry due to his status and financial position. This is shown when Capulet says “hopeful lady of my earth”, this infers Juliet means the world to him, it implies she is as precious to him as he created her and is very proud of her. It also shows that as she is his only child he wants nothing other than the best for her. We can also see that Capulet wants the best for his daughter when he is explaining to Paris how he wants him to “woo her” and to “get her heart”. This shows that Capulet wants Juliet to be in love with the man she is going to marry and wants to get married to him for her own emotional reasons and not just because her father wants her to.…

    Act 3 Scen 5 Romeo and Juliet- Emotions Between Lady Capulet and Juliet

    At the start of Act 3 Scene 5, Juliet has just, unknowingly, said her final words to Romeo and had a premonition of his untimely death, something that later comes true when Juliet awakes from her drug induced slumber to find Romeo lying dead on the floor of the Capulet tomb. It is at this moment the Nurse informs Juliet that her mother is coming to her chambers. When her mother arrives, she finds Juliet in tears. However, instead of showing kindness towards her, she places a death threat on Romeo… believing Juliet’s tears to be sadness over the death of Tybalt and anger towards Romeo for killing him. However, this just adds to the distress Juliet is under. It is then Lady Capulet makes an announcement that, to Juliet, is the worst possible thing that could happen. She tells her that ‘’the gallant, young and noble gentleman, the county Paris, at Saint Peter’s church will happily make thee there a joyful bride” Here Lady Capulet is expecting a positive response, believing that this marriage will truly bring here out of her grief. So, the response she receives from Juliet would have been shocking, not only to Lady Capulet but to the contemporary audience… as it was expected at the time, that girls would do as their fathers told them and not dream of disobedience. The main emotion Juliet expresses in her response to her mother is anger. This very sudden, strong expression of her feelings on this matter has emerged due to this hasty marriage proposal being placed upon her already fired up emotions. Juliet is only a young girl, 13 years old and yet she is having to try and cope with problems/emotions that many of us will likely never have to face. It is the way Shakespeare portrays this that gains the sympathy of the modern audience and even partly the contemporary audience. Now although Juliet’s anger does show her youthfulness, it is quite clear to the audience she is not innocent little girl that her parents believe her to be. Juliet’s complete response to her mother…

    "Romeo and Juliet": A Eulogy for Juliet by the priest

    It is because of Juliet's honest declaration of love for Romeo, and his love for her, that I agree to their marriage. She came to me past hope. She sought my counsel and looked to my experience. In desperation we devised a plan. Juliet was without fear or doubt. She only wished to live as Romeos wife. I feel a great sense of personal distress for Juliet's death, as I also do for Romeo's. I encouraged their marriage, I thought it would be a new beginning - it would unite the two houses and end the ancient grudge between them. But alas, that ancient grudge was bigger than the star-crossed lovers could handle. I was trying to act with reason and sense, while everyone around me was driven by only their emotions.…

    Mistakes In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

    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…

    Romeo and Juliet. No One's Tragedy

    Shakespeare depicts love that can empower one to challenge the convention and the tradition in the world in which they live. In the patriarchal society, it is unthinkable for the daughter to defy her parents. Juliet goes against all social restraints when she contradicted her parents with, “I will not marry yet; and when I do, I swear it shall be Romeo.” Even her father’s outburst of rage in “young baggage, disobedient wretch!” did not change her plans. And in the world where names mean more than just a way to address oneself, she advises Romeo to "Deny thy father and refuse thy name… And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.’’ Young Juliet experiences love that gives her courage to challenge all that is expected of a young unmarried lady of noble background. Therefore her love liberates her from the bondage of the social mores of the time.…

    Friar Laurence's Letter To Romeo And Juliet

    If Juliet was provided with the opportunity to send a letter to Romeo, she would write to him about all the subsequent events, after he fled, that led up to her seeking of the Friar. This would include the planned marriage with Paris on Thursday and Capulet’s outrage over her disobedience. In her letter, she would include the details of Friar Laurence’s plan and notify Romeo of her worries regarding the possible outcomes. Given the unexpected series of events which occurred and the chaos that it entailed, Juliet is certainly flustered, heartbroken, worried, and enraged, all at the same time. This excess of negative emotions will surely cause her overall tone to seem desperate and cloud her thinking. She will most definitely assure Romeo of…

    Letter to Capulets

    I think Lord and Lady Capulet got what they deserve when Juliet “died”. Neither of them spent time with her so they didn't make a family bond so the family was distant. The nurse knew more things about Juliet than Lord or Lady Capulet. Lord Capulet also forced Juliet to marry Paris when she didn't want to and threatened her to do it or else he would disown her. Lines 160-164 “Hang Thee, young baggage! Disobedient wretch! I tell thee what. Get to thee church o' Thursday Or never look me in the face” He is yelling at her for not obeying her father to marry Paris and yells at her. This part also says that if she doesn't attend the marriage that she should never look at her again and that she will no longer be apart of the family.…
