Romeo and Juliet Character Profile Poster:
Juliet: A Capulet. She finds strength in her love for Romeo
even though her family refuses to allow their marriage
because of an ancient family feud. Juliet is intelligent and
determined, refusing to simply follow her family’s wishes that
she marry Count Paris. She created a plan with the Friar to
help her escape her planned marriage to Paris and be with her
true love, Romeo. She takes a potion to cause her to sleep
and fake death. When she awakens, she finds Romeo dead
in her family vault. She refuses to be parted from her lover
and stabs herself with his dagger. Her death is the last
installment in the tragic penalty paid for the Capulets and
Montagues refusal to live in peace.

Tybalt: A Capulet and cousin to Juliet. He is referred to as
the Prince of Cats as he is a skillful fencer and kills all the
mice he encounters. Tybalt is hot-tempered and rash,
unwilling to tolerate Romeo's presence at the Capulet party
and seeks revenge. When he finally meets Romeo in the
street, Romeo refuses to fight. Tybalt does not know Romeo
is now married to his cousin, Juliet. Tybalt instead fights and
kills Mercutio after taking a cheap shot under Romeo's arm
when he tries to break up the fight. Romeo finally fights Tybalt
to avenge Mercutio. Tybalt is killed by Romeo, which causes
Romeo's banishment (being sent away from Verona).

Romeo and Juliet Character Profile Poster:
Nurse: Juliet's nursemaid and part of the Capulet house. She
helped raise Juliet and is very devoted to her. She is the
comic relief of the play because of her overly dramatic and
outrageous personality. Her actions and behaviors are over
exaggerated, loud and flamboyant. She assists Juliet in her
plan to marry Romeo. She carries messages between the
lovers. Her ideas of love are much different than Juliet's and
communicated through her vulgar language. She remains the
one Juliet tell her secrets to until after the wedding night. She
advises Juliet to follow her father's order and marry Paris, and
to forget Romeo.

Mercutio: Close friend of Romeo. As a relative of the
Prince of Verona, he is technically neither a Capulet nor a
Montague. He is horrified by what he perceives as
feminine and juvenile behavior on Romeo's part. His
ideas of love are similar to the Nurse's. He is a reckless
man as well as a free spirit and a jokester. He jumps into
battle with Tybalt when Romeo refuses. Tybalt mortally
wounds him and Mercutio blames his death on the feud
between the two families, the Montagues and the
Capulets.
