In the movie, Juliet looks gorgeous, very elegant lady. She is the daughter of the
Lord and Lady Capulet. When the play begins, Shakespeare reminds to readers, Juliet is
about weeks away from fourteenth birthday. Also Juliet shows herself to be an honest
child. She is really respectful to her mother and the daughter who get loved from people.
“Madame, I am here. What is your will?” this quote shows how much Juliet respects Lady
Capulet. When Lady Capulet asks about Juliet to meet Paris, she did not refuse. She
consents to meet Paris, and tries to close with him. In previous scene, respects for parent
were Juliet’s duty. Juliet was docile, dutiful child. Before, she falling love with someone.
When Juliet meets and falls in love with Romeo, she already prepared to defy her
parents. She learns what love is and being more independent. “Shall I speak ill of him
that is my husband? Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name, when I, thy
three hours’ wife, have mangled it? But wherefore, villain, didst thou kill my cousin? That
villain cousin would have killed my husband. Back, foolish tears, back to your native
spring…” According to this quote, Juliet only cares about her husband. Montague and

this point, Juliet is most isolated from her family, even the Nurse betrays Juliet’s trust by
advising her to forget Romeo and marry with Paris. Friar Lawrence didn’t really mention

younger people don’t think before taking their actions. If Juliet was a calculative person,
she does not have a deep attachment to Romeo. The younger people have more pure
heart. Also she said, “Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble and I will do
it without fear of doubt, to live an unstained wife to my sweet love.” This quote refers to

herself. In the last chapter Prince said, “For never was a story of more woe than this of
Juliet and her Romeo.” This speech described Juliet how bravest she was. No one could
brave as her. Even story end up with miserable ending, Shakespeare tried to show how
love makes person pure and brave.
