Question

Romeo & Juliet, with its focus on a heterosexual romantic relationship and its inclusion of a female protagonist, readily lends itself to feminist critique. Traditional gender roles are imposed on both women and men in the play, which causes all the characters to suffer as the oppression of women and the perpetuation of toxic, stereotypical masculinity lead[s] them to emotional pain and often poor decisions” (Buford, 2018: 54).
From this observation name how did traditional gender roles affect Lord capulet

Answer 1

Traditional gender roles affected Lord Capulet in that he believed that as the patriarch of the family, he had complete control over his daughter Juliet's life and her choices. He did not value her opinions or desires and forcefully tried to marry her off to Paris, disregarding her love for Romeo. This led to a rift in their relationship and ultimately, tragic consequences.
