Q

“hang thee, young baggage, disobedient wrench”

A

1 - derogatory language - reduces Juliet violently to a source of shame - “disobedient” casts an idea of not only a personal betrayal but a public one alike.

2 - showcases the crumbling structure of the Capulet family, he has regressed back from a warm father who cared about his daughter to stop her getting married at a young age, now lashes out when his authority is challenged

3 - imperative verb “hang” shows his descent into tyranny - he wishes to see his daughter hung, unstructured family perhaps due to the family feud in place
