Final answer:

Capulet threatens to disown Juliet if she does not marry Paris, conveying his anger and frustration at her disobedience in Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, Capulet threatens to disown Juliet if she refuses to marry Paris. This is evident in Act 3, Scene 5, where Capulet becomes infuriated with Juliet's lack of gratitude and disobedience when she defies his wishes to marry the man he has chosen for her. He states that if she does not marry Paris on the Thursday he has appointed, she can hang, beg, starve, die in the streets, for he'll not be acknowledged as her father nor will he give her any support.
