Show transcript
The implication that Juliet’s refusal makes her dishonourable suggests that women’s honour came from obedience.
Lord Capulet implies that Juliet’s refusal is specifically dishonourable to him.
Through that, Shakespeare may be suggesting that a man’s honour comes from his ability to control his family.
Lord Capulet’s violent response to Juliet’s refusal could suggest that men saw violence as a solution.
