Lady Capulet misunderstands the reason for Juliet's sorrow. Lady Capulet thinks that Juliet is upset about Tybalt's death, but she is more concerned about Romeo who has been exiled to Mantua or else he will be killed. Juliet refuses to marry Paris because she is already married to Romeo, which she can't tell her mother.

Lady Capulet interprets Juliet's tears as an expression of grief over Tybalt's death, assuming that Juliet is mourning their cousin. In reality, Juliet is weeping due to Romeo's banishment. Lady Capulet is unaware of Juliet's secret marriage and her conflicted emotions.
