Also, her father says, "an you be mine, I'll give you to my friend; an you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets" There is no doubt that Capulet is looking on his daughter as a piece of property, a very old-fashioned perspective.

Juliet defies Elizabethan social conventions by pursuing a relationship with Romeo, a member of a rival family. She also takes matters into her own hands by proposing marriage to Romeo and devising a plan to be with him despite their families' feud. Additionally, Juliet challenges gender roles by expressing her desires and opinions independently.
