Answer:

  • It emphasizes the extent of Capulet's grief.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Act IV Scene V of Romeo and Juliet, Capulet represents demise as he sees his little girl's body. Capulet discusses demise being his "child in-law," for instance, and "his beneficiary." For Capulet, death resembles a lucky man who has taken Juliet away and made her his lady of the hour.
