Question

Select the correct text in the passage.

Which lines in this excerpt from act Ill of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet best show Lord Capulet's oppressive and authoritarian nature?
CAPULET Things have fall'n out, sir, so unluckily,
That we have had no time to move our daughter
Look you, she loved her kinsman Tybalt dearly,
And so did I Well, we were born to die
'Tis very late, she'll not come down to-night:
I promise you, but for your company.
I would have been a-bed an hour ago.
PARIS: These times of woe afford no time to woo.
Madam, good night commend me to your daughter
LADY CAPULET. I will, and know her mind early to-morrow
To-night she is mew'd up to her heaviness
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
Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed:
Acquaint her here of my son Paris' love,
And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesday next-
But, soft what day is this?
