Question

Which lines in this excerpt from act III of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet best show Lord Capulet’s oppressive and authoritarian nature?
A Things have fall'n out, sir, so unluckily,
That we have had no time to move our daughter:

B And so did I: Well, we were born to die.
'Tis very late, she'll not come down to-night:

C : Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender
Of my child's love: I think she will be ruled
In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not.

D And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesday next—
But, soft! what day is this?

Answer 1

I believe C, Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender
Of my child's love: I think she will be ruled
In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not,
is the best choice.
