3. She is vengeful, bloodthirsty, and childish.

4. She is prone to vengeance and a little emotionally confused, but she backs her daughter through adversity.

Answer 2

3. She is vengeful, bloodthirsty, and childish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lady Capulet is not kind. She is actually quite distant and is basically a stereotypical Elizabethan woman. She doesn't care about her daughter more than she cares about her marriage and her own safety. You can see how she doesn't care about Juliet's feeling when se says to her daughter: "Talk not to me, for I'll not speak a word, Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee."
