Romeo and Juliet essay

In the play, Romeo and Juliet, Lord Capulet, the father of Juliet was a good citizen and a good husband, but was quite strict.

Lord Capulet is an austere father, but he is a good citizen and a reasonable husband.

When lord Capulet says

“My child is yet a stranger in the word,

She hath not seen the change in fourteen years;

Let two more summers wither in their pride

Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.”

He is a kinsman to a Montague;

Affection makes him false, he speaks not true.

Some twenty of them fought in this black strife,

And all those twenty could kill but one life.

I beg for justice, which thou, prince, must give.

Romeo slew Tybalt; Romeo must not live.
