Lord Capulet is devoted

"What noise is this? Give me my long sword ho!"
Lord Capulet Act I, Scene i, Line 66


Lord Capulet is extremely devoted. Even as elderly as he is, he still continues to peruse his adversary. When the brawl starts between the servants, he comes out and asks for his long sword. As soon as he does this his wife says that he would need a crutch instead signifying that he is too aged to even fight. Although he knows this, Lord Capulet still has the desire to fight from the precedent of the feud set by his ancestors. Many people those days could barely walk at his proposed age . You could see his anger when his wife held him back for his own safety and the safety of others. This shows the desire and the devotedness of Lord capulet.
