Answer 2

It really depends on which 'angry' speech you are talking about.

Capulet is angry with Tybalt at the party as Tybalt wants to fight Romeo. Capulet is furious for a number of reasons, firstly that Tybalt wants to disrupt the good humour of the party. The main reason for his anger here is that Tybalt, a junior member of his family visiting his house, dares to argue with Capulet and disagree with him. In Shakespeare's day, and when the play was set, junior family members where expected to do as they were told without question.

Capulet's most angry speech is when Juliet disobeys him when he suggests she marry Paris. Again, much of his anger is at the disobedience. It would have been usual for a father to select a husband for his daughter. As far as Capulet is concerned, he has chosen a wealthy young man, who Juliet has met, and she has no reason not to marry him and therefore is behaving in a disobedient and ungrateful manner. According to the rules of society at the time, Juliet is her father's property to dispose of as he wishes. He looks after her, which is what he feels he is doing with the wedding to Paris, but can also cut her off and leave her destitute - something he threatens to do. He believes she has 'green-sickness', a type of madness that was meant to aflict virgins, and that is the reason she behaves in this way.

Juliet's strength of argument is, obviously, because she is already married to Romeo - to marry again would be bigamy and a sin. However, this is also the first time that Juliet has disagreed with her father - compare this scene with her discussion with her mother before the party.
