    Lord Capulet is, of course, Juliet's father.

    His attitude toward her is somewhat contradictory.  At times it seems like he really cares about her feelings, but at others it seems like he only cares about himself.

    Examples:

    When Paris asks for Juliet's hand in marriage, her father implies that she will have to agree or else there would be no marriage.  This seems to show he cares for what she thinks.

    On the other hand, Lord Capulet later threatens to disown Juliet and let her die in the streets if she doesn't go through with the marriage he has arranged for her.
