Romeo and Juliet
Why won't Capulet let Tybalt deal with Romeo? What does this say about Capulet?
Act 1
Act 1
Capulet wants his party to happen free of strife or ugly brawl. He says he knows Romeo is a respectable boy even though he is a Montague. Capulet is asserting his authority with Tybalt and Tybalt is forced to back down. Capulet is "the king of his castle" and Tybalt is a mere boy.
