Which lines in this excerpt from act 3 of shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet best show Lord Capulet's oppressive and authoritarian nature?

*CAPULET: Things have fall'n out, sir, so unluckly, That we have had no time to move our daughter:
* And so did I: Well, we were born to die.
'Tis very late, she'll not come down to-night:
*CAPULET: Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender Of my child's love: I think she will be ruled In all respects by me; nay, more, I doudt it not.
* And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesday next- But, soft! what day is this?
