At the beginning of the play Paris asks Lord Capulet for Juliet's hand in marriage. Lord Capulet, being protective and sensitive, replies "my son is still a stranger to the world." This shows us that Lord Capulet did not agree with Paris and Juliet's marriage at that time, he demonstrated this to the audience by describing Juliet as a "stranger to the world". By using the word "child" and "stranger", Lord Capulet implies that his daughter is not mature enough and that she has not yet seen the world properly. He is more interested in ensuring that she marries well and soon than in her personal happiness. He tells Paris that while she is "free to choose" her own mate, she must come from a narrow pool that he has allowed. He sees no reason why his daughter should hesitate to marry Paris. Even so, Lord Capulet is not very keen on marrying his daughter off to Paris at such a young age. This shows us how protective he is of Juliet, which is why he invites Paris to his party the next night, so he can "win her heart." Shakespeare wrote his plays in the Elizabethan era, so naturally he based most of his plays on the ethics and social norms of the time. During the Elizabethan period, noble women were expected to be married to wealthy, prosperous men. Fathers choose men they deem “suitable” for their daughters, with the goal of marrying them into wealthy families so that their wealth is not propagated. Men were considered the bread winners of the family and women inferior to them. If a woman does not agree with her father's wishes, then she may be banished or disowned from the home. Juliet's repudiation of marrying Paris affects her father in various ways. In his first meeting with Juliet, Lord Capulet asks her why she is "always... the center of the card... she is artificial and kind, while the Nurse is very open with her opinions, advice and feelings with Juliet. Nell 'act 3 scene 2, when the Nurse informs Juliet of Romeo's exile and Tybalt's death, Juliet becomes despondent that she will "die" without a wedding night, as a "virgin widow". he nurse tries to cheer her up by assuring her that “Romeo will be here at night.” The nurse also knows that Romeo “is hiding in Lawrence's cell.” she says it again to Lord Capulet, who at that moment would be trying to take revenge on Tybalt's death. And on the other hand the nurse promises Juliet that she will bring Romeo to her tonight to "comfort" her, and bring a Montague to the Capulet villa. it is against the rules, so the nurse is going against Lord Capulet's authority just for Juliet..
