Lord Capulet To Blame In Romeo And Juliet

Romeo and Juliet were meant to live a happy ending, but something comes in between the two lovers. This story/play ends in a tragedy when Juliet’s father, Lord Capulet, comes along. He decides for Juliet that Paris is the best husband for her, when he actually doesn’t know the truth about Romeo and Juliet’s relationship. Juliet tries to tell his father that she is married to Romeo, but he doesn’t listen to her.

Capulet goes ahead and desperately tries to find Juliet a husband that he thinks would suit her most. He thinks that Paris is the perfect kind of man for Juliet because he has good qualities.

This entire time, Lord Capulet was only being selfish, and thinking of himself when he chose Paris to be Juliet’s husband. His selfish actions was part of why the tragic ending between Romeo and Juliet was
