In Act 1, Scene 5 Romeo and Juliet meet. This has a big impact on the rest of the story, due to the tragic ending. Although, unbeknown to Lord Capulet his 'child' has already become a bride to his worst enemies son Romeo.
When Capulet mentions to Juliet about marrying Paris Juliet reacts, this would be unexpected to the Shakespearian audience due to the patriarchal society. But Capulet threatens to 'hang thee', this suggests how he is becoming violent, also how he has changed his mind from Act 1, Scene three:
'...ripe to be a bride.' - this shows how Capulet wanted more time for his daughter to become mature, whereas in Act 3, Scene 5 Capulet changes his manor to a more controlling and turning to the 'dominant male' of the family.

He knows it and he's mad at himself. And as everyone knows, people are most angry at others when they are really mad at themselves.
