Lord Capulet views marriage as a bargain, a contract, and a way to increase his family's standing in the community. Since Paris is a cousin of the Prince, Capulet believes that this marriage will bring honor and status to the Capulet family. He probably has the intention of using this to assert dominance over the Montagues. When describing Paris to Juliet he says he is "A gentleman of noble parentage / Of fair demesnes, youthful, and nobly train'd<span>" (Act 3, Scene 5). This shows that his main focus is Paris's status, rather than how he would actually be as a match for Juliet.

Capulet does not even think of what Juliet might want, he says to Paris "I think she will be ruled / In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not" (Act 3, Scene 4). This shows that he just assumes Juliet will agree to marry Paris because he said so. When she refuses, he reacts very badly. He says that if she does not agree to the wedding, she can "hang, beg, starve, die in
the streets, / <span>For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee" (Act 3, Scene 5). This shows the lengths he is willing to go to to punish Juliet if she does not agree, which reinforces his idea of marriage as a contractual agreement rather than something that is developed out of love. </span>
Answer:
She would explain why she is so concerned about Girl.
Explanation:
The passage would most likely change if Girl's mother was the narrator by explaining her concern for her daughter and why she would want her to be upright and be a good daughter.
From the passage given, it is narrated from the perspective of Girl where she talks about how her mother always tells her not to sing Benna in Sunday School, eat her food in such a way that it won't turn her stomach, walk like a lady and so on. We can infer that Girl is exasperated and tired of her mother's interference in her life and does not really understand her mother as she believes she is trying to control her life.
Narrating the story from her mother's point of view would enable her to explain why she is so concerned about her daughter, not as if she is controlling her.
