Answer:
His reaction towards her death totally contradicts his reaction towards her earlier.
Earlier on, he was very mad at her that she was refusing to marry Paris and even threatened to disown her and throw her into the streets. But when she was found dead, he mourns loudly.
Explanation:
This is about the novel Romeo and Juliet.
It is a tragic- romance written by William Shakespeare about two young Italians who are in love but had their families totally against their union. In a desperate attempt to be together and avoid marriage to Paris ( her father’s choice), Juliet fakes her death so she could run away with Romeo. But when Romeo finds her, he thinks she is dead and takes his own life. Juliet wakes up and takes her own life too saying she wants to reunite with her love.
Lord Capulet is Juliet’s father. He was extremely harsh to her before her “death” and even threatened to throw her out because she was refusing to marry Paris.
But when she was found dead, he begins to mourn loudly this;
“ O child! O child! my soul, and not my child! / Dead art thou, dead! alack, my child is dead, / And with my child my joys are buried!”
This shows a huge contradiction in his actions towards her and his reaction to her death.
