Lady Capulet is the mother of Juliet. She is dominated by her husband, Lord Capulet. Lady Capulet is insensitive and unfeeling towards the people around her, except her nephew, Tybalt. She hates the Montagues fiercly. All through the play, Lady Capulet is rude and mean to Juliet. When Juliet needs love and help, Lady Capulet is not there for her. When Lord Capulet orders Juliet to marry Paris, Juliet refuses and is crying her eyes out. Lady Capulet doesn't care how she feels and tells Juliet not to speak to her, "for I have done with thee." This attitude changes when Juliet is found in her bed "dead" (drugged into a death-like sleep). Then she realizes that Juliet meant the world to her. At Juliet's bed she weeps, "My child, my only life! Revive, look up, or I shall die with thee!" It is sad that Juliet had to trick her own mother and father because they refused to listen to her. Their refusal to listen, and their grudge with the Montagues, cost them the life of their only daughter, Juliet.
