Lord Capulet is acting impulsively and emotionally. He is angry that his daughter is not following his directions and refuses what he feels is a perfect opportunity for her. (Remember at this time, women in high society did not often marry for love, but their marriages were arranged for social status.) Becuase he is reacting so strongly and giving Juliet an ultimatum - marry him or get out - he is pushing Juliet out of his life. Lord Capulet is forcing Juliet to desperation to get out of her situation. From the prologue, we know the consequence will be that he loses his daughter forever, not to banishment from the household, but to death.
