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 …show more content…
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

    Nurse’s Eulogy for Juliet

    Juliet, that your grace, and voice, and passion, and beauty will be shrouded from the world pains me. I humbly believe you were my own daughter, not to replace Susan, whom you now rest with, but to be mine alongside her. I remember well that you were the prettiest I ever nursed, one who, through the thirteen years you walked on earth, brought me laughter and strife, joy and woe. Yet lie knowing well that you had more merriment to deal than misery, and that even as we gather to speak, we are all aware that you would not have been happy to live without fair Romeo by your side. All I ever wished was for you to be content, so much so that I transgressed my lord and lady’s trust, which, while a dreadful mistake, I do not wholly regret.…

    Lady Capulet Monologue

    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…

    Monologue of Tybalt

    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…

    Romeo and Juliet Nurse Monologue

    I took the job with the Capulets because of my own daughter Susan. I needed to look after my own daughter, so some might say I was desperate. Unfortunately she passed away and is with God now, my little Susan was too good for me. And now for Juliet, hey always got on but she was too good for me. I kept on looking after Juliet because I still needed to look after myself and because Juliet became like a daughter to me. I didn’t want to lose a second daughter. When Juliet asked me to go and see Romeo, I agreed so she would be happy. I would do anything for my Juliet, she meant the world to me, and she was my daughter. Although we are not bound by blood, I care for Juliet as if she was my own; I know that Juliet thinks of me as her mother at least more that Lady Capulet. Some may beg to differ that without being bound by blood I am not her mother but my love for Juliet is like for Susan. Love is what makes real family. I knew he had asked her to marry her because she told me as soon as it had happened, but I didn't realize that the wedding would be so soon. But my Juliet’s happiness is all that matters to me, but I knew the Capulets would be furious if they found out I was helping the star-struck couple. When I got back from seeing Romeo, she had obviously been up waiting for me to tell her when and where the wedding would be. I didn't tell her to go back to bed like I normally do because I knew she would get frustrated but I did keep her hanging on because I knew that she would be more grateful to me. When at last I did tell her, she was very happy. 'Hie to high fortune! Honest Nurse farewell', I think were her exact words. When I found Juliet's 'dead' body, I felt like my whole life had fallen to pieces around me because her and Susan were my life. I hurt my poor Juliet, I did not believe her love was true, I recall saying will we were bickering, “Then, since the case so stands as now it doth, 
I think it best you married with the county. 
O, he's a lovely gentleman!…

    Lord Capulet Character Analysis

    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.…
