Answer 2

Answer:

Capulet is an antagonist because he makes choices for Juliet without her consent.

Explanation:

In literature, antagonists are the forces that oppose the main character/protagonist. Usually, antagonists are characters who work to prevent the protagonist's plans from being carried out, or who threaten the protagonist's happiness and success.

In the play "Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare, there are several antagonists. The protagonists, Romeo and Juliet, fall in love with each other even though they belong to rival families. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the whole world seems to be conspiring against their love. One example is the fact that Capulet, Juliet's father, wants to marry Juliet as quickly as possible to another character, Paris. Such marriage goes against Juliet's plans, thus antagonizing her happiness.
