Lady Capulet

Lady Capulet was a character in William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet.

She was the wife of Capulet and the mother of Juliet Capulet. In Act V Scene III, she saw her daughter's corpse and that of Romeo Montague when she arrived in the Capulet tomb, along with her husband and Juliet's nurse, following the discovery of the bodies by Verona's watchmen. Capulet referenced his wife in his initial exclamation upon seeing Juliet in this state, saying "O heavens! O wife, look how our daughter bleeds!". In an alternative version of the play conceived to "make dark tragedie light", Romeo and Juliet had not killed themselves and were hiding out of sight in the tomb, being replaced on the altar by a Sontaran clone and a Teselecta so that their respective fathers would still resolve to end their conflict.
