Respect your elders!

The family elders in the Capulet household are supreme. Tybalt learns this at the party when he is verbally abused by Capulet for saying that he should start a fight with Romeo. “this trick may chance to scathe you, I know what. You must contray me!...Be quiet, or… for shame, I’ll make you quiet what!" This quote is significant in that it makes Tybalt very angry to just sit and watch Romeo at a party at his house and he cannot do anything about it, he vows to get his revenge later, “I will withdraw, but this intrusion shall, now seeming sweet, convert to bitt’rest gall.” The Capulet family elders are the most important in the house and hold absolute power.
