What impulsive dicision does Lord Capulet make to help Juliet overcome her grief for Tybalt's?

Answer 1

Remember folks. When you ask a question, be as precise and accurate as possible. This question, from Shakespeare's ROMEO & JULIET (apparently) is difficult to comprehend. Decision concerning what? Also, the location of "act scene iv" remains vague. Do you mean Act IV scene 4?

I can only surmise, but I suspect that this question is asking "What decision concerning Juliet does Lord Capulet make in Act IV scene 4?"

It is in this scene that Lord Capulet decides to arrange a marriage for his daughter with Paris. Recall that earlier in the play Capulet told Paris to wait at least "two more summers" before Juliet would be "ripe to be a bride." But in this scene of Act IV we see the change of mind. It's a feature of ROMEO & JULIET that every major character makes a spontaneous "change of mind" or "moment of decision" that seems unaccountable for any logical reason. This is that moment for Lord Capulet. He expects that Juliet will be "ruled" by him (that is, will appreciate what he does). But, boy! is he wrong!

Note that Capulet sets the wedding up for Thursday (in this play which begins on a Sunday morning). Later on he will actually rush the wedding ahead one day, to Wednesday. But at the end of IV,4 the wedding is arranged for Thursday of that mid July week. Hope this helps.
