Capulet's thoughts on love

Lord Capulet is Juliet's dad in the play called Romeo & Juliet written by Shakespeare. Capulet's thought about love are not as romantic as you would think, despite the fact that he is the father of Juliet. Capulet's friend Paris wanted to marry Juliet knowing that she was only 13 but wanted her just for the fact that she was beautiful and young. Capulet had thought that she was too young, but after being convinced that she would not be the only young bride and mother, his only worry was that Juliet would not fall in love with Paris as easy as Paris thought. He told him that he could marry his daughter only if he got her to like him.  Reading the play, that is the only time you would get an idea of what Capulet's thoughts are on love. I feel that his thoughts are not as caring and strong as they would be, but knowing that the play took place a long time ago, love wasn't a big aspect of ones thoughts. Everyone only cared about the fortune and society rank.
