I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have question and further clarifications

Answer 2

He is oppressive and controlling

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Capuleto decides with whom and when Julieta will marry, without asking for her opinion. He completely prepares the marriage and when Juliet opposes it, he tries to impose his will by threatening Juliet and hurting her as a way to frighten the girl if she refuses to marry him. He is a real tyrant and, in this scene, shows an overwhelming, oppressive and controlling character.
