Answer 1

Capulet is an antagonist because he makes choices for Juliet without her consent.

Step-by-step explanation:

In literature, antagonists are the forces that oppose the main character/protagonist. Usually, antagonists are characters who work to prevent the protagonist's plans from being carried out, or who threaten the protagonist's happiness and success.

In the play "Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare, there are several antagonists. The protagonists, Romeo and Juliet, fall in love with each other even though they belong to rival families. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the whole world seems to be conspiring against their love. One example is the fact that Capulet, Juliet's father, wants to marry Juliet as quickly as possible to another character, Paris. Such marriage goes against Juliet's plans, thus antagonizing her happiness.

Answer 2

makes choices for Juliet without her consent.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a certain part of the story, Romeo is exiled from the city for killing Tybalt, making Juliet very sad. Capuleto, misinterpreting Juliet's pain, decides to marry her immediately to Count Paris, without her consent, and threatens to disown her when she refuses to become Paris's "gay bride." When she asks, then the advance of the marriage, the mother rejects the request. When it gets dark, Romeo secretly spends all night in Juliet's room where they marry.
