Lady Capulet is a character in William Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet. She is the mother of Juliet Capulet and is portrayed as a woman who is concerned with social status and family honor. Lady Capulet often encourages Juliet to marry Paris, a wealthy suitor, reflecting her desire for a favorable match. In the play, Lady Capulet's relationship with Juliet is somewhat distant. She relies on the Nurse to communicate with her daughter and often seems more focused on societal expectations than on Juliet's feelings. This dynamic highlights the generational conflict between the characters and the pressures of their Verona society.
