Which lines in this excerpt from act III of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet best show Lord Capulet’s oppressive and authoritarian nature?

a. CAPULET: Things have fall'n out, sir, so unluckily,
That we have had no time to move our daughter:

b. And so did I: Well, we were born to die.
'Tis very late, she'll not come down to-night:

c. CAPULET: Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender
Of my child's love: I think she will be ruled
In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not.

d. And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesday next But, soft! what day is this?

I am sure about my answer

CAPULET: Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender

Of my child's love: I think she will be ruled

In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not.
