What were some of Capulet's motivations?
Capulet, Juliet's father, is interested in social standing, hence the party which he wants to be a success even if Montagues crash it. He wants everyone at the party to have a good time and for himself to appear the good host. The same can be said for his involvement in the arrangements for Juliet's wedding, although giving the guests more than an hour's warning might have made the event more successful. His desire for greater social standing is what makes him want Paris, the COUNT Paris, the relative of the Prince, for his son-in-law. Capulet is not nobility; he is plain Capulet (do not believe anyone who thinks he is "Lord Capulet". He isn't) and marriage with Paris will enoble his family (and enrich Paris at the same time). There is a reason why Paris is prepared to marry a girl he has never actually met, you know. Capulet loves Juliet, and really thinks this is a good marriage for her. But when he gives his promise to Paris that Juliet will agree, he cannot stand to be made a fool of by having to go back to Paris and take his promise back. Hence he is violent, here motivated by his pride.
