I can explain how Lord Capulet’s views on women and marriage in Act 3, Scene 5 relate to a patriarchal society.
Show transcript
Initially, Lord Capulet appears to subvert patriarchal norms through suggesting he wants Juliet’s “consent” to marry.
However, this is undermined through Juliet’s absence and lack of knowledge.
Lord Capulet’s response to Juliet in Act 3, Scene 5 implies that daughters were supposed to obey their fathers.
Juliet, Lady Capulet and the Nurse’s response in Act 3, Scene 5 convey the powerlessness of women.
