When Lady Capulet says the above quote, she means that before she was twelve or thirteen, she was already Juliet's mother. She is trying to convince Juliet to marry Paris and getting pregnant because she is already considered "old".

Which character is a foil to lady Capulet?

The Nurse foils the character of Juliet's mother, Lady Capulet. As her mother, Lady Capulet should know everything that there is about her daughter; she should know how old she is and her innermost feelings. However, Lady Capulet knows neither. Early on in Act 1, Lady Capulet is unsure of Juliet's age and the Nurse has an extended speech in which she explains to Juliet's mother how she knows how old Juliet is better than her mother does. Additionally, throughout the play, it is the Nurse that Juliet goes to for advice and assistance, not her mother.


What happened to Juliet's mother?

Juliet's mother is Mrs. Capulet. She is not Lady Capulet because Capulet is a middle-class man not a Lord, although he is very wealthy. We do not know much about her family, although we know her brother's son, who is Tybalt, so clearly she has or had siblings. But it would appear that she is not from a family of note. She was about Juliet's age (14) when she married Capulet (she says so in Act I Scene 3), so she would be 28 years old.


What was surprising about lady Capulet in Duty?

Your question is unclear. Is Duty a different play from Romeo and Juliet which also has a character called Lady Capulet? (actually, the character in Romeo and Juliet was not called Lady Capulet in Shakespeare's time--since Capulet was no lord, she could not be a lady. She is called the much simpler "Mother".)


How did Romeo find out the Juliet was a Capulet?

The nurse told Juliet that her mother needed her. When Juliet left, Romeo asked "Who's her mother?". The nurse responded that Juliet's mother was Lady Capulet.


What is their physical traits of lord Capulet and lady Capulet?

I don't know about Lord Capulet, but I know for certain that Lady Capulet is fairly young. She tells Juliet that she was about her age when she was had her. This means that Lady Capulet is 26. I guess due to stress she can look a few years older though. For Capulet, I guess you can say that he is well dressed and groomed. He is from a wealthy family after all. The same applies to Lady Capulet.
