Lord Capulet Monologue
(Walks into room with mirror, playing with hair.) Nurse come hither, what is this you know of Juliet's infatuation for a Montague? Do my ears not betray me, for all I have done for that girl, that disobedient child? (flailing arms) The lady is damaging the families’ name, god forbid she runs hence with that coward, (hands on heart) I couldn't bear to see my issue, Juliet, the wench, marrying a murderer, especially a recreant. I cannot explain how angry I am, I am so in doubt of this actually happening.
(Deep sigh) At the hour I was her age, I was matched to the most noble and truest of sirs, Lord Capulet, I was to respect my parents’ orders as my mother and every woman before me did dutifully. I believe in loyalty, as it will forever be the foundation of our ancestors. I believe in tradition, as it will stay intact and not be forgotten. Love will not play a role in this, love is a tedious

Correct me if l'm wrong but wouldn't the families’ wealth wend to Tybalt, now he is dead! (wide eyes, pacing, pulling hair) Alloweth just hope that I die before my husband or else I would not be able to bear a life of shame. (Relaxed stance, fixing messy hair) Thus, I will have to be cast aside, I'll be looked down on, no better than a nurse maid.
(Shocked/happy expression) Wait, Nurse, I just recalled! Paris will marry my daughter, my anxious nature is no more! My daughter will thrive with the everlasting love he will bring forth to her, Romeo could never do such a thing, the little boy falls for any girl he sees for goodness sakes! Paris is righteous man, a man of his word, a man that will bring copious amount of fortune and prestige for our family. (This is possibly the best idea I’ve

    RE: MurderMe.com (AndNich123 and boyo) As Molly stepped up to him in the water it was like the scene on the beach in From Here To Eternity, except they were not lying down in each others arms. There was a moment, something passing between them, something that was a distraction to what he wanted but it was there. A beat of the heart for a moment when they looked in each others eyes, a spark went off somewhere inside him until she screamed and ran out of the water. Shaking his head laughed a moment, hearing her ask him to let her in. "Don't worry, you'll get in soon enough," he promised.…

    Lady Capulet Monologue

    • 191 Words

    Lady Capulet tries to convince her daughter, Juliet, to marry Paris by telling her how beautiful he is, how he has many good qualities, and how he needs a wife. Lady Capulet uses a metaphor to describe Paris to convince her daughter to marry him, comparing Paris to a book of love that is missing a cover. After Lady Capulet encourages her daughter, Juliet, to see Paris’s beauty by telling her to examine his features, she expresses, “Find written in the margent of his eyes. This precious book of love, this unbound lover, To beautify him only lacks a cover.” This quote demonstrates how Lady Capulet uses a metaphor, comparing Paris to an interesting book of love without a cover, to convince her daughter to examine him at the feast that her…

    When she becomes aware that Romeo yearns to marry Juliet, she heads back to tell Juliet the good news. When she returns, her old age and aching bones catch up with her, and she needs a minute to catch her breath, which Juliet disregards and arrogantly pries Romeo’s answer out of her. This shows the Nurse’s care for Juliet because she goes out of her way to speak with Romeo. The Nurse demands respect or else she will not tell her the news. She states that Juliet makes a simple choice by choosing Romeo. The Nurse refuses to refrain her anger about Juliet’s decision. She believes Juliet should marry Paris. Her disappointment is clear when she says, “Well, you have made a simple choice; you know not how to choose a man. Romeo? No, not he” (Shakespeare Act 2, 1084). The Nurse grows angry due to Juliet’s lack of respect, and she thought it was the appropriate time to tell her that she disapproves of Romeo for her husband. In her eyes, Paris will always remain as the best future husband for Juliet. She dislikes where events lead, and she knows she stumbles into a bad predicament. Later on, Juliet apologizes to the Nurse, who replies with the news to her saying, “Then hie you hence to Friar Laurence’ cell; there stays a husband to make you a wife”(Shakespeare Act 2, 1085). Although the Nurse desperately wants Juliet to marry Paris, she continues assisting their marriage to satisfy Juliet. The Nurse feels like her job revolves around Juliet’s happiness. The two marry and things really begin to escalate from…

    Juliet is now of age to be married off and Lady Capulet is finally taking an interest in her daughter’s life. When Lady Capulet speaks to Juliet, rather than a voluble conversation, they have a terse interaction. She says to Juliet, “Speak briefly, can you like of Paris’s love?”(AI,s3.) This shows that Lady Capulet seeks only to marry her daughter off and not to develop a relationship. Her dearth of emotion over Juliet’s pending nuptials is rooted in her proper upbringing.…

    Monologue of Tybalt

    • 388 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I am Tybalt, a Capulet and cousin of Juliet. I am known as short-tempered, impulsive, and a vengeful person, I draw my sword anytime I can. However I am loyal beyond words and honour the family rivalry between the Capulets and the Montagues with great heart. I will never betray the Capulets. On the day of Capulets’ party Romeo showed up. I recognised Romeo through his disguise at the Capulets’ ball. I can’t remember that we invited him to our party. Why is Romeo here? What is his intention of showing up at my Uncle Capulet’s ball? He is a Montague and I loathe all the Montague because they are our enemy. He is not allowed to come to our party. I would have killed him or make him leave the ball immediately if not forbidden by my uncle. He stopped me because he didn’t want to make a scene at the party. I could have choose to disobey my uncle but if I do that he will be mad at me so I have no choice but listened to my uncle. However I won’t let him live so easily I will make his life miserable. I will take revenge on him next time I meet him. Therefore I have a plan, I will fight Romeo at the city centre but I will be banished if I start a fight with him. In that case I will provoke Romeo at the city centre of Verona so he will start a fight with me. When the prince found out that Romeo starts a fight with me he will banish Romeo from Verona forever instead of me. I sent a challenge letter to Romeo for a duel to the death and vowed to meet him later on. I didn’t know if Romeo will show up but I went off to look for him after the masked ball. Instead of finding Romeo I found his friends, Benvolio and Mercutio. After Romeo arrived, I confronted him to fight with me, but he refused. But his friend Mercutio winded me up after that so I started a fight with him. Romeo tries to stop us, but I stab Mercutio. I ran away after I stabbed Mercutio but I still have my sight set on killing…

    In William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, a play about two lovers who are from opposing families, Lord Capulet wishes to appear as a man of peace and much virtue, but when he is away from the prying eyes of the public, he is a man many times worse than Lord Montague. Lord Capulet is a complex character who many times contradicts his earlier actions in this play. By the end of this, you will truly understand Lord Capulet's motives towards life. He is not the caring man one might think he is when they first meet him or read about him, but a man with no heart or compassion, just the ability to show some.…
