- Bossy and ambitious.
- she is materialistic, she just wants Juliet to gain wealth and status by marrying Paris and she will go against her daughter if that means being overlooked in Capulets wrath.
- unforgiving - she doesn't and will never forgive Romeo for killing Tybalt and she has an evil idea to pay someone to poison him.
- She can be violent with her thoughts about how to punish Romeo for his actions.
- She isn't a great mother as she asks the nurse to accompany her when she tries to speak to her daughter. she isn't sympathetic with Juliet and they don't have a strong bond between them.
- she only forgives Juliet when she changes her mind and agrees to marry Paris after a rejection she quickly changes her attitude.
- She also got married young so she believes it is normal and it's fine for Juliet to do the same.

- The themes shown by Lady Capulet include Love and there are hints of how women's roles in society.
- Love - her attitude towards love is that it is for wealth and status with a cold attitude to marriage and love. She never thinks about Juliet thoughts or feelings only that she is obedient.
- Her loyalty to Capulet even through the argument and choosing his side without adding her side suggests that is what women in Elizabethan era would have done and not take the side of another woman in contrast to the protective nurse. The uncaring nature of Lady Capulet to her own daughter shows her distance to her and that even she wool not go against the man due to the patriarchal society.

- She doesn't change during the play but her character is revealed.

- "I shall never be satisfied with Romeo, till I behold him - dead-" - this shows her violent thoughts of death.
- "I would the fool were married to her grave." - she takes Capulets side as she thinks of Juliet as a fool not to accept this offer for wealth and status.
