This quote comes in Act 3, Scene 5. It's a great scene because audiences get to see a number of character changes. We first get to see Juliet exert some of her own free will. She tells her mother that she will not marry Paris. Instead, Juliet claims that she will marry Romeo. Lady Capulet doesn't freak out or berate her daughter. We get to see the same calm Lady Capulet, but she does hint at the coming storm. Lady Capulet tells Juliet to tell Lord Capulet and see how he likes her decision.
Juliet"I will not marry yet. And when I do, I swearIt shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate,Rather than Paris. These are news indeed!"Lady Capulet"Here comes your father. Tell him so yourself,And see how he will take it at your hands."
This quote is from Lord Capulet as he berates Juliet because she refuses to marry Count Paris in Act III, Scene 5. Shakespeare was the master of insulting remarks and he unleashes several of them in this scene as the incensed Capulet verbally abuses his recalcitrant daughter because of her perceived ingratitude toward his wishes. In this case Capulet refers to her as "green-sickness carrion" could refer to an anemic condition which make one look pale and green or just be purely used to express his disgust. He further calls her "baggage" suggesting that she is a burden to him and a worthless girl. Throughout this tirade he also refers to her as a "disobedient wretch," "Mistress minion," "tallow face," "wretched puling fool," and "whining mammet." Capulet becomes so angry because he fully believes that Paris will be a good match for Juliet and he is anxious to bring happiness to his family after the unfortunate death of Tybalt. Of course, he knows nothing of Juliet's marriage to Romeo which causes the girl to recoil at the idea of marrying another man.
