Juliet's fiery father is essetially goodhearted, but furioulsy unreasonable when thwarted in the slightest thing. He is the head of his household and makes all decisions, including when his daughter, Juliet, will marry. When Paris asks to marry Juliet, he tells Paris to wait two summers, until Juliet is fifteen before he may marry her. His good nature is shown when he refuses to allow Tybalt to attack Romeo during the Capulet party . He says that Romeo is well thought of in the community and he, Montague, has no problems with him attending the party. When Tybalt argues, Montague's quick temper is seen.  This temper shows again when Juliet refuses to marry Paris. Montague tells her to change her mind or he'll throw her into the streets to starve. His final act in the play, after the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, is to offer his hand in peace to Lord Montague. He offers peace as a wedding gift to their two deceased children. He learned, too late, the consequenses of his fiery temper.
