The Relationship between Juliet and her Dad
The relation between Juliet and her dad is very formal. She is her father's property and must listen and obey him. However, Juliet, who used to be an obedient daughter, turns into "rebel" when she meets Romeo. She secretly dates Romeo, which her father hates and she also refuses to marry Paris, man that her dad had decided must be her husband. When Lord Capulet discovers Juliet doesn't want to marry Paris he flies into a rage. He calls her names, threatens to hit her, threatens to disown her, threatens to send her into a nunnery and says he is embarrassed of having a daughter that doesn't appreciate what he has done for her.
Here is a piece of the discussion between Juliet and her father about he marriage with Paris:
Juliet: "Good father , I beseech you on my knees, Hear me with patience but to speak a word."
Lord Capulet: "Hang thee, young baggage! disobedient wretch! I tell thee what: get thee to church o'Thursday , Or never after look me in the face..."
