Secondary characters impact Juliet through their views on love and their resulting expectations for Juliet. What does love and marriage seem to mean to Lord Capulet? How do his views impact Juliet?

Lord Capulet introduced Paris to Juliet. He wanted her to marry this man. At the beginning he seems to advice his daughter to marry for love but then, when she does not agree to marry him, L. Capulet gets very angry. He see this as "disobedience" and so he is tough towards his daughter. He becomes aggressive and he even screams at her. This affects Juliet because he does not respect her decision and he wants to force her to accept it anyways.
