Lord and Lady Montague are Romeo's parents. They do not feature heavily in the play, however, we understand that Lord Montague initiates the conflict and fuels the arguments between the two families. They both care for their son deeply and do not want him to get banished; they try to persuade the Prince to drop the charge. At the end of the play, Lord Montague repents his sins, asks for forgiveness and vows never to argue with the Capulet family again.
