Juliet Capulet is one of the main characters in Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet. She is from a very wealthy family who has a lot of power in Elizabeth England. She is a girl around the age of 13 and her parents want to marry her to a man who she does not love, his name is Paris. She is in love with another man, Romeo. Juliet is passionate, poetic, innocent, independent, girl who is just figuring out her life. She is forced into her life as an adult with hardly any notice. She is such a wonderful character and she is very inspiring.

 

     One of Juliet’s strongest qualities is her ability to be so independent and make her own decisions. She has a lot of pressure on her from her family, the nurse, and Paris but she overcomes this pressure to be married and falls in love with Romeo. Although at the end of the play her decision makes her suicidal she still follows her heart and follows what she believes in. We can all learn a lesson from Juliet’s ability to be so capable. Juliet is also very poetic. She uses couplets, for example,puns, and she always matches Romeo’s wordplay.
