<span>The statement that best describes the character of Lord Capulet is that he is oppressive and controling. He threatens his own daughter to strip her away of her own inheritance if she doesn't do what he is ordering her to do. He wants her to marry a decent man that he has already picked out for her, whereas she doesn't want to please her father and live in a loveless marriage. What she wants to do is elope with the love of her life, Romeo, but we all know what that ended up like. </span>
