Answer 1

next time please provide the appropriate passage and answer choices

CAPULET: Go, be gone.
(Exit Second Servant)
We shall be much unfurnished for this time.
What, is my daughter gone to Friar Laurence?

NURSE: Ay, forsooth.

CAPULET: Well, he may chance to do some good on her:
A peevish self-will'd harlotry it is.

NURSE: See where she comes from shrift with merry look.

(Enter JULIET)

CAPULET: How now, my headstrong! where have you been gadding?

JULIET: Where I have learn'd me to repent the sin
Of disobedient opposition
To you and your behests, and am enjoin'd
By holy Laurence to fall prostrate here,
And beg your pardon: pardon, I beseech you!
Henceforward I am ever ruled by you.

CAPULET: Send for the county; go tell him of this:
I'll have this knot knit up to-morrow morning.

JULIET: I met the youthful lord at Laurence' cell;
And gave him what becomed love I might,
Not step o'er the bounds of modesty.

CAPULET: Why, I am glad on't; this is well: stand up:
This is as't should be. Let me see the county;
Ay, marry, go, I say, and fetch him hither.
Now, afore God! this reverend holy friar,
Our whole city is much bound to him.

JULIET: Nurse, will you go with me into my closet,
To help me sort such needful ornaments
As you think fit to furnish me to-morrow?

LADY CAPULET: No, not till Thursday; there is time enough.

CAPULET: Go, nurse, go with her: we'll to church to-morrow.

Answer 2

choices

He is vulgar and foolish.
He is oppressive and controlling.
He is careless and neglectful.
He is caring and headstrong.

Answer 3

anyway let's take a look at what Lord Capulet says here:

CAPULET: Go, be gone.
(Exit Second Servant)
We shall be much unfurnished for this time.
What, is my daughter gone to Friar Laurence?

CAPULET: Well, he may chance to do some good on her:
A peevish self-will'd harlotry it is.

> calls his daughter's free will "harlotry" that must be kept in check by Friar Laurence

CAPULET: Send for the county; go tell him of this:
I'll have this knot knit up to-morrow morning.

CAPULET: Why, I am glad on't; this is well: stand up:
This is as't should be. Let me see the county;
Ay, marry, go, I say, and fetch him hither.
Now, afore God! this reverend holy friar,
Our whole city is much bound to him.

> arranges Juliet's marriage to Paris immediately as soon as Juliet (fakes) modesty + obedience to her father
> is seen giving orders to the servant and nurse

with that being said what do you think the best choice might be?
