A rich nobleman who is Juliet's suitor and a kinsman of the ruler of Verona -- Prince Escalus in Shakespeare's play and the Duke of Verona in Gounod's opera. Unlike the play, where he is slain by Romeo after attacking him for breaking into the Capulets' tomb, in both the film and the opera he is relegated to the background, uninvolved in the major action of the drama.
