Lady Capulet In Romeo And Juliet

She has to take on the role of a mother for Juliet, and help make important decisions in Juliet’s life. Throughout the play, it becomes more and more evident that the Nurse has taken on the role of a mother because Juliet does not talk to anyone but the Nurse about the most important decisions in her life such as marrying Romeo and Paris. The Nurse tolerates Romeo and Juliet’s relationship despite them being from rivaling families because she loves Juliet like a daughter and wants her to be happy. She encourages Juliet to marry Paris because she thinks it is in Juliet’s best interest and despite her efforts she is unable to understand Juliet’s feelings for Romeo. The Nurse is the only one who knows what is going on in Juliet’s life during much of the play.

This buildup in tension was shown when Capulet was browbeating Juliet into marrying Paris and says “an you be mine, I’ll give you to my friend./ An you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets,/ For, by my soul, I’ll ne’er acknowledge thee”(3. 5. 203-205).

Stella is demonstrated to live her life consumed with illusion until the final scene of the play where, as Blanche is taken away and loses her mental stability, Stella realises the problems that she may have caused by not defending Blanche from Stanley, as she is blinded by her own illusions of her relationship Stanley. Stella lives in denial of her abusive relationship with Stanley by creating excuses and illusions that everything is fine. This is evidenced when Stella says “You’re making too much fuss”, therefore it is obvious that Stella is used to the abuse she receives from Stanley and shows to Blanche that it is a regular thing that would happen to women in New Orleans, however she creates the illusion that it is okay or that it does not happen, as she dismisses giving any information on it. This could be a portrayal of her Southern Belle

Tragedies cannot be written without a glimpse of the happy ending that might have been. In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, the ironic fact remains that it did not have to be a story of woe. In a series of over complications and misguided decisions, the happy love story of Romeo and Juliet turns into several tragic deaths as a result of secrets well kept. One of the most influential people in creating this ending is Lord Capulet, through no fault of his own. For the duration of the play, Lord Capulet only does what he thinks will make Juliet happy.
