In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," when Juliet learns of her father's plans for her to marry Paris, she is initially upset and resistant to the idea. She does not love Paris and is already secretly married to Romeo. When Lord Capulet insists that she must marry Paris, he threatens her with severe consequences if she disobeys him. He tells her that she would be disowned and cast out from the family. This shows the patriarchal nature of the society in which they live, where a daughter’s obedience to her father's wishes is paramount.
