When capuler first spoke with Paris in act one he said that Juliet was still too young to wed how does he react when Juliet refuses to wed Paris?
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.

Capulet promised Paris that he could marry Juliet without consulting her first. When she is told about the marriage, she refuses (she is already married to Romeo, but she doesn't tell them that).

Basically his pride is hurt. And the worst of it is that he brought it on himself by not consulting Juliet in the first place. Like most people, he is most angry when he is most in the wrong.
