The relationship of a father and daughter in the Elizabethan age is much different than today. For example in the Elizabethan age children were supposed to respect their parents and do what they are told . They were never allowed to back chat or be rude and if they were then they were punished. Also they didn't really look after there children and weren't very close to them because the maids looked after the children a lot of the time. Even though women and children had no rights the head of the house, most likely the father, were allowed to beat the children into doing their request .Today fathers tend to be softer than years ago and have nicer relationships with their daughters and other family members. They spend more time with their daughters and aren't as strict as they were also interested in their daughter's hobbies and feelings. Forced marriages were popular at this time. Daughters were expected to marry the person that their father had chosen for them . If they didn't they were treated terrible. However the church was against forced marriage that's why in Romeo and Juliet the church kept it secret and let them get married there. This still happens today in many cultures. I believe that every Elizabethan father and daughter relationships in the 1800's is just like the one from Romeo and Juliet because they had arranged marriages and they were supposed to be polite and proper. In the Elizabethan times the fathers were always the head of the house and everything they said was obeyed. Today this is different because women have equal rights in most places.
