Capulet
Juliet’s mother. Like her husband, Capulet, Lady Capulet is obsessed with appearances and with advancing Juliet’s social station. She is ignorant of her daughter’s true feelings most of the time, and, even when confronted with them, attempts to steamroll Juliet’s emotions and urge her daughter to put on a brave face, accept fate, and comply with her family’s plans for her.

In that dim monument where Tybalt lies.
