History Characters / RomeoAndJulietButWithoutAnyRehearsals

* BigBad: [[spoiler: It starts out as a BigBadEnsemble between him and Tybalt, since the two characters have goals that involve screwing over the lives of our main protagonists, but these goals are drastically different from one another (Lord Capulet wants to force Juliet to marry Paris and Tybalt wants to kill Romeo for existing). However, once Tybalt dies, it’s revealed that he wants to kick Juliet out of his household despite being 14 as soon as she’s married to Paris, which eventually causes Juliet to initiate the plan that gets the two lovers killed.]]

* KnightOfCerebus: While not above the comical tone the play has, him selling the poison to Romeo directly links him to the darkest scene in the entire play; [[spoiler: the scene where Romeo commits suicide, with Juliet following suit.]]]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: If Romeo had simply refused to buy the poison, Juliet’s suicide would’ve most likely have been prevented.

* FinalBoss: Strangely enough serves as this, as while the Capulets and Paris are still prominent threats when Tybalt dies, they aren’t active antagonists or hostile to any of the characters that they meet. In addition, Paris’ duel with Romeo has been entirely cut, and instead replaced with an AccidentalMurder, and none of them (with the exception of Paris, who is just mourning Juliet and begging Romeo for advice about how he could’ve prevented her death) properly interact with Romeo, making Tybalt the last proper villain needed to be taken out for the plot to progress. It’s a {{Downplayed}} trope however, as the Capulets are still semi-prominent antagonists by the time he dies.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:He becomes this when Tybalt kicks the bucket. Even though his evil isn’t apparent in the play at all, it is ultimately Capulet's plan to force Juliet to marry Paris and disown Juliet for supposedly freeloading that ultimately drives her to initiate the plan that gets the two lovers killed. Thankfully, he undergoes a Heel–Face Turn in the end, though, as he in grief decides to end the feud with the Montagues.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Heavily, HEAVILY Downplayed, but this version of Lord Capulet is able to easily lift up Lord Montague (who is quite heavy himself mind you) in the air without a sweat, whereas most versions are weak and elderly. Probably from carrying around a battle axe all day.
* AdaptationalDumbass: So in order to compensate for his newfound physical strength, Lord Capulet is a dimwitted alcoholic who doesn’t know what messengers are despite the fact that he owns a Fitbit.

* HarmlessVillain: Despite being the main villain, he serves zero threat to Romeo, Mercutio, Benvolio and even Juliet, despite being the overseer of the latter’s forced marriage to Paris. Even the Nurse manages to be more of a threat, and he isn’t even an actual villain, just an antagonist.

* AdaptationalWimp: This version is by far one of the weakest versions of Paris to date, as he lacks the swordsmanship skills of his original counterpart and the connections to Prince Escolus (aside from dancing with him during the party) which grants him political power.

The matriarch of House Capulet and greedy and manipulative wife of Lord Capulet who seeks Paris’ fortune.

* VillainyFreeVillain: While Lord Capulet isn't really evil, he's the primary source of Juliet’s misery, and he has a clearly unhealthy influence on those around him. [[spoiler: Then it’s revealed that he actually wants to kick Juliet out of the house once married to Paris despite being 14 years old, making this a somewhat {{averted}} trope.]]

* BumblingDad: He is extremely stupid and neglectful, being far more focused on his parties than his own daughter’s wants and needs. [[spoiler: The reveal that he actually wants to kick Juliet out of his house as soon as she’s married to Paris despite being 14 doesn’t help things. In fact, it makes him a downright [[AbusiveParents abusive parent]].

* BumblingHusbandResponsableWife: He has this dynamic with Lady Capulet, who is a lot smarter than he is.
