Exploring the Role of Capulet Coursework The prologue can be interpreted to give a brief overview of the character of Lord Capulet. For example, the seventh line “With their death, they bury the conflicts of their parents. » This shows that Capulet is overall a reasonable man who, unfortunately after the death of three young people, manages to bury his quarrel with the Montagues. The word Bury is particularly relevant because it gives the image that the feud will never surface again. At the beginning of Act 1, Scene 1, Lord Capulet arrives to find a member of his family, Tybalt, fighting with Benvolio, a Montague. As soon as he arrives, he calls: “What noise is that?” Give me my long sword, ho! This shows his anger and short-tempered character at the sight of a Montague. The word “ho” here represents his eagerness to fight and the “!” shows his anger and the fact that he is shouting. In addition to being shown as short-tempered and short-tempered, he is also shown to be less respected than he thinks. After he asks for his sword, his wife responds by sarcastically saying, "A crutch, a crutch!" Why call you for a sword? representing that she teases him because of his age, even a woman in the patriarchal society in which she operates. This would be extremely embarrassing for the head of a family in this society and would in most cases not be tolerated. THE "!" shows her confidence by saying this, which would have been rare for a woman. In Act 1 Scene 2, unlike Scene 1, Capulet is calm and thinking about peace. This is demonstrated by his comment "...it's not difficult, I think for men as old as us, to keep the peace." “…us_to keep the peace” shows this because it says we. This refers to him and Montague as if they were equals or friendly, and this is important because Capulet makes it seem like he regrets his violence. Another important aspect of Capulet's behavior in this scene is the suddenness with which he changes his mood. It is possible that this is due to the Prince's words in the last scene: "Once more, on pain of death, all men depart." » The fact that the Prince says this makes it important to Capulet because he is very conscious of his appearance in public..
