There are quite a few comparisons, in my mind, that can be made about The Capulet’s and Tillie’s family. The most obvious one is between Lord Capulet and Beatrice. They seem alike to me because they are both the head of their family. Both are also somewhat blind to the needs or desires of those around them, and even once they know they don’t always care.
Another comparison that I made, albeit on a lesser level, is that Tybalt and Ruth. Ruth is somewhat more thoughtful and compassionate that Tybalt usually is, but there were still times where Ruth was short tempered or thoughtless in what she said or did, just like Tybalt. She also wasn’t always the most supportive of sisters, just like Tybalt wasn’t always the most supportive of cousins to Juliet.
If I had to pick one person to compare Tillie to it would be Juliet, but it is, in my mind, the weakest connection. Tillie and Juliet both want something, but neither of their parents are helping or even allowing them to get it. Another comparison is that they both seem like very kind girls that are willing to help/care for/mourn for others.
