Lord Capulet is a very impulsive and rash man. He can not ever keep his head straight or hold onto one decision. For example in Act III scene V, Capulet makes a very irrational decision to try and relieve his daughter, Juliet, of grief over her cousin Tybalt's death. Capulet decided to wed Juliet and Paris when two days prior he had asked Paris to wait two more summers. As a result, Juliet is upset because she does not want to marry Paris in the first place, and she is secretly married to her familys' enemy, Romeo. Since Lord Capulet has no way of knowing about this secret marriage, he can do nothing to help it. Also, Lord Capulet would probably never speak to Juliet again because she has betrayed her father and family by seeking a relationship with the enemy.

Lady Capulet is the very strict but sensitive mother of Juliet. She goes by what her husband, Juliet's father, says. For instance, Act III scene V, after Capulet forces Juliet to marry Paris and Juliet pleads not to, and Juliet asks her mother to call it off but her mother scolds her and replies, "Talk not to me, for I'll not speak a word; Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee" (III.v.204-205). Her mother does not even think twice about Juliet's feelings and opinions at this point, but only that it would be good for her to marry the County for he is "a man of wax."

Juliet is a very rational and logical thirteen year old. Juliet expresses her intelligence through verbal irony with her mother while discussing the marriage of herself and Paris. While arguing about her future, Juliet exclaims, "I will not marry yet; and when I do, I swear / It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate, Rather than Paris:-these are news indeed!" (III.v.121-123). Knowing about Romeo and Juliet's secret marriage and relationship, Juliet is nervous some one will find out or that she will be forced to marry Paris and betray her love for Romeo. Juliet is also very helpless, with all the drama happening in her surroundings she has nowhere to turn to for help. For example, after Capulet and Lady Capulet force Juliet to marry Paris, Juliet turns to the nurse for support and the nurse, as stupid and naive as she is, turned on her and says to marry the County because it is for the best. Now, being thirteen and nowhere to go, the only choice for Juliet is to turn to the Friar which is one big mistake because the Friar is most definitely now the most trustworthy person in the world.

In direct translation, Tybalt's name means "compared to a tiger." The translation is a perfect fit because he always tries to pick fights, as does a tiger. He is always looking for trouble and causes 2 deaths to happen. Himself and Mercutio die because of his persistence to be the winner and best at everything. For example, Tybalt tries to challenge Romeo to a duel, and because Romeo is now related to him because Juliet and Romeo have just been married, he denied the opportunity leaving Mercutio, by his choice, to fight him and die. Although many grieved over Tybalt's death, He was the cause of many deaths including his own.
