What is Love? Perspective of Lady Capulet

Lady Capulets Soliloquy on Love:

 "I don't understand why Juliet is hesitant to wed Paris. I was younger than she, when i concieved her, and I turned out great. I did not lose anything but gain money, and power; I have the best parties and I have enough money to last myself a lifetime. I greatly appreciate my life filled with parties, and luxeries."
 "So why does my daughter not want to wed such a handsome and wealthy man, Paris? Can she not see what fortune it will bring her and our family, she has nothing to lose exactly like me. He is handsome, and she is a beautiful gentlewoman just like I am. She would only make him complete. Doesn't Juliet want to live a divine, elegant life of Status and wealth, what more can she want?"
 "Maybe she actually longs for true love... I wonder what would have happened if I was not married and beared juliet at such a young age. I never truly longed for love but now that I think of it, I'm not sure if I am truly happy with Mr. Capulet. I am happy that I have luxerious parties but what if I actually have a problem. Deep down all the drinking, partying and drugs are what I use to cover up my desire for true hapiness. I just want her to be happy, I wouldn't want her to end up like me but this is important to her father."
 All this thinking is giving me a headache, I need some damn medicine. Where is my Nurse..."
