How does Lord Capulet threaten his daughter should she refuse the arrangement?
While at first Lord Capulet says he will not approve Juliet’s marriage to Paris without her consenting to it, when she refuses to marry Paris, Capulet becomes furious with her. He resorts to name-calling, cursing, and a threat of disowning Juliet as he yells in rage against her disobedience.
What does Juliet threaten to do if she has to marry Paris?
After Paris leaves, Juliet asks Friar Lawrence for help, brandishing a knife and saying that she will kill herself rather than marry Paris. The friar proposes a plan: Juliet must consent to marry Paris; then, on the night before the wedding, she must drink a sleeping potion that will make her appear to be dead.
What does Lord Capulet threaten Juliet with if she doesn’t marry Paris?
What is Capulet’s reaction when he learns that Juliet refuses to marry Paris? He threatens to disown her from their family.
When did Lord Capulet threaten to disown Juliet?
Indeed, Juliet feels so strong that she defies her father, but in that action she learns the limit of her power. Strong as she might be, Juliet is still a woman in a male-dominated world. One might think that Juliet should just take her father up on his offer to disown her and go to live with Romeo in Mantua.
When Lady Capulet threatens to Mantua to poison Romeo What does Juliet say how is this example of verbal irony?
Lady Capulet says that she will send for someone she knows in Mantua, who will “give him such an unaccustom’d dram, / That he shall soon keep Tybalt company.” Here she is, indeed, saying that she will have someone give Romeo a poisoned “dram,” or drink, which will soon render him as dead as Tybalt is.
Who killed Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet Act 3?
Tybalt
The fights between Mercutio and Tybalt and then between Romeo and Tybalt are chaotic; Tybalt kills Mercutio under Romeo’s arm, flees, and then suddenly, and inexplicably, returns to fight Romeo, who kills him in revenge.
