How has Shakespeare used language, form and structure to tell us about Juliet and Lord Capulet’s relationship?
“How will she none? Doth she not give us thanks? Is she not proud?”
Your ideas may have included:
Capulet’s insistent questioning here shows his confusion and disbelief about Juliet’s refusal to marry Paris.
The use of short sentences emphasises his mounting anger.
Capulet refuses to talk directly to his daughter in these lines; instead he talks about her to his wife, using the repeated word “she”, which illustrates his refusal to engage with Juliet and listen to her point of view.
