Relationship Between Juliet And Lady Capulet

This essay is going to be about how Capulet and Lady Capulet treats Juliet. In this essay I would be discussing my personal response about why I sympathise for Juliet and my first impression of her parents.

I do sympathise with the way Juliet’s parents treat her. The relationship, I thought,Juliet had with her parents was a tense one.
