When Capulet speaks to Paris in Act 1 Scene 2 we feel that Capulet is being fake and pretending.
In Act 1 Scene 1, Lord Capulet wants to defend is honour, but he is a bit foolish: he really needs a crutch. His self image isn’t accurate, he thinks he is a hero, but he is an old man:
Lord Capulet: “What noise is this? Give me my long sword, ho!”
Lady Capulet: “A crutch, a crutch! Why call you for a sword?”
