if she refuses to marry Paris. Which statement best describes the character of Lord Capulet? He is vulgar and foolish.

Lord Capulet is well known for being oppressive and controlling. Juliet's hand, according to the epoch tradition, is to be given in marriage to a noble gentleman even against her will. Fixed marriages were common in the time when Romeo and Juliet was performed in the Globe theatre. Juliet prefers to be in "disobedient opposition", which was a rebellious act; daughters were not in the position to go against the word of their parents. In summary, it is possible to say that Capulet's house was under his command.
