I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday, Or never after look me in the face. Speak not. Reply not. Do not answer me. My fingers itch. – Wife, we scarce thought us blest That God has lent us but this only child, But now I see this one is one too much And that we have a curse in having her. Explain

This is found in Act 3 scene 5: No fear Shakespeare of the Play "Ro meo and Ju li et".

Explanation:

Here we see how Shakespeare presents Capulet's attitudes towards his daughter, J u l i e t.

This is Capulet having the outburst. The reason of being so angry towards his daughter J u l i e t was her selfishness which her father saw. J u l i e t’s impulsiveness in getting married to R o m e o is the reason why she stands to be chided. Here is one of the possible consequences J u li e t didn't anticipate that her actions would bring her.

Capulet

"Don't look up at me till I am done with you." He inferred.

[Speak not. Reply not. Do not answer me.] Underlines his authoritatively language - instructions that he directs towards J u li e t as a father

[My fingers itch] - this is a direct threat of an assault or rage. Capulet's 'fingers itch' because he wishes to punish J u li e t because of her behaviour.

[Out on her, hilding!] - the use of the word 'hilding' is a demeaning term, meaning a wretch, a contemptible person, worthless, and this highlights Capulet's disgust. The exclamation mark highlights the degree of his wrath.

• He said that "the one child they had was one too many"

• He also called his one and only daughter a "hussy" (cheeky or disrespectful girl; a woman showing inappropriate or improper behaviour)

• When parents say these things they can take a big toll, emotionally, on the child

• Then the children might pull away.
