In Act III of Romeo and Juliet, if Juliet does not marry Paris, Capulet's initial reaction is anger and disappointment. He does not immediately disown Juliet. Instead, he threatens to disown her and refers to her as a "curse" and a "disobedient wretch." Capulet becomes furious and insists that Juliet marry Paris, even though she expresses her strong opposition to the match. However, it is important to note that Capulet does not resort to killing Juliet or having her killed.
