How was lady capulet a typical Elizabethan woman?

Question

Help Please!!

Answer 1

The character is from Verona, Italy.  While most of the characteristics are more Elizabethan (English) one of the main reasons that Shakespeare placed his plays in places like Verona was to be free of the normal constraints of character that would normally be found in London or the rest of England.

Women were generally subservient to their husbands but the fire that Lady C displays when learning of Tybalt's death would be attributed to the fiery Italian blood as are much of the emotional reactions of all the characters in the play.

Being largely disassociated from her daughter while letting the nurse act more as the female parent Lady C typifies noble women not those of the lower classes.

Any conjecture about a possible romantic relationship with Tybalt is absurd.

Answer 2

she refuses to talk to her daughter about marriage, as she feels uncomfortable about it. When Tybalt is killed in act three, she expresses extreme grief and expresses strong desires for revenge on Romeo, the killer. A few scholars have seen this as stemming from a romantic relationship with Tybalt. In act four, she becomes very angry with Juliet for refusing to marry Count Paris. By the final act, she is nearly overcome by the tragic events of the play.
