General:
- Wealthy parents often spent little time with their children. Juliet is close to the Nurse and Romeo is closer to Friar Lawrence than their own parents.
- Initially, Capulet seems like a caring and protective father.
- Later, heis aggressive when he doesn’t get his own way - he is prepared to disown Juliet because she disobeys him.
- Juliet’s mother begins to defend Juliet but follows her husband. It is risky for her to disobey her husband, due to the patriarchal society at that time, men had power and status.
