They trust each other, they go to each other for comfort and advice, and the nurse and Juliet care about each other because they have a strong healthy relationship. Juliet and the nurse can tell each other some of their most important secrets. If one of them is upset or worried about something, they know that the other person will comfort them. The two of them also care and worry whether or not the other person is feeling ok. Even though Juliet kills herself the memory of Juliet and their relationship will always be stuck in the nurse’s heart. She will always remember Juliet who was like a second daughter to
The Nurse helped out Juliet when her Parents could not. “As I told you my young lady bade me inquire you out; what she bade me say, I will keep to myself”(Act II.II.148-149). The Nurse has offered to keep the secret of the marriage between the two young ones and she will not tell anyone about it. After the Nursze comes back from visting Romeo she finds ways to not tell Juliet the good news instead she starts talking about other things, the Nurse also knows how delighted juliet will be once when she finds out about the wedding “Your love says, like an honest gentleman, and a courteous, and a kind,...where is your mother?”(Act II.II.55-57). The day of Mercutio and Tybalt 's death she did not think Romeo would do such a thing, and now her thoughts about Romeo have changed instead she thinks Romeo would end up hurting her young lady.
This goes against what she originally thought. This causes Juliet to be alone because the relationship ended between her and the person closest to her. Without the nurse juliet made poor choices with the Friar. In conclusion, the nurse is one of the major causes of Romeo and Juliet’s
The nurse is the best character in Romeo and Juliet. She cares the most about Romeo and Juliet. The nurse is the only character that unselfishly cares about Juliet. Romeo cares about her for her physical appearance, her mom doesn’t really know her very well, her dad isn’t a huge part of her life either, and without the nurse, Juliet would be pretty much alone in the world. She also cares about Juliet’s love of Romeo, however, which makes her care about him.
The Nurse is a servant in the Capulet house, but her relationship with Juliet is extremely strong. Thy have been together ever since Juliet was born and she treated Juliet as her daughter. Juliet would go to the nurse for
The Nurse attempts to train Juliet to be more rational through telling her to marry County Paris instead of being with Romeo. After Juliet marries Romeo, he engages in a quarrel which results in the deaths of Mercutio, a close friend to Romeo, and Tyablt, Juliet’s cousin, as well as his banishment from Verona. Because of this, the Nurse tries to coerce Juliet into marrying County Paris, a kinsman to Prince Escalus, the Prince of Verona. Through logic and reason, she deduces that County Paris is better marriage material and that Juliet is “happy in this second match/ for it excels her first” (III.V.225-226) Feeling betrayed by her confidante, Juliet turns to the help of the local monk, Friar Lawrence, without the Nurse’s knowing. Friar Laurence devises a plan in order to reunite the two lovers.
In this case, it seems that Juliet has not had as much bonding with her Lady Capulet as much as she has with the nurse. Lady Capulet has always needed a person to help her even when it is something that she has been doing for years. Some people may argue that she doesn’t take care of her child as much
(Shakespeare 710). The nurse cares more for Juliet and would do anything for Juliet because she raised her like her own child since she was an infant. Lady Capulet uses Juliet as a tool to look good for the Capulet
The Nurse on numerous occasions helps Juliet’s in her schemes to meet Romeo. For instance, she says, “Your lady mother is coming to your chamber. / The day is broke; be wary; look about.” (Shakespeare 3.5.39-40) This quote shows the Nurse warning Juliet that her mother was coming when the newlyweds were consummating.
The Nurse and Lady Capulet with for Juliet wish for Juliet to get married so the Nurse says, “Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days. ”(I.iii 105). Due to the nurse pushing Juliet so much to get married, Juliet immediately fell for Romeo and was a very easy catch. Thanks to the nurse’s desire for Juliet t get married, Juliet fell in love even though she was not interested in marriage and to please the nurse, she got married. If it weren’t for the nurse being so pushy, Romeo and Juliet may have never fell in love meaning that they wouldn’t have had suicidal thoughts for each
Even the Nurse who previously encouraged the romance between Juliet and Romeo, changes her mind and says she should marry Paris. Juliet's rebellion has serious repercussions which leads her to commit suicde over her
It would have been impossible for Juliet to even communicate with Romeo if it weren’t for the nurse. The nurse blindly followed Juliet's orders without thinking of the results her words and actions could cause. Juliet looks up to the nurse who has taken care of her for years. When the nurse provides Juliet with no initial guidance Juliet is forced into making the decision of staying loyal to her husband or staying with her
Throughout the play Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, the Nurse and Friar Laurence played similar roles, both acting as mentors to the young couple. The hatred and tension between the Montagues and Capulets resulted in Romeo and Juliet’s marriage being kept a secret. They had no other choice then to confide their love for one another to the Nurse and Friar Laurence. Romeo and Juliet had warring parents who were not extremely involved in their everyday lives, therefore, the Nurse and Friar Laurence acted as parental figures toward them, guiding them through complicated situations to the best of their ability. These two characters wanted the best for the newlywed couple; however, both contributed to the tragic ending of Romeo and Juliet, making some of their guidance useful and some of it useless.
The betrayal of the nurse by not staying loyal to Juliet in her most desperate time of need caused Juliet to lose faith in her and keep her thoughts a secret.” I think it's best you marry county oh he’s a lovely gentleman, Romeo’s a dishcloth to him”. Hence, instead of staying loyal to Juliet and helping her get out of a marriage the nurse goes against her and insults her husband, this act of disloyalty is what provokes Juliet to keep her plans a secret if the plans were not secret the death could have been avoided. To conclude throughout Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”.
As a reader, I realized how important this feud is and how loyal workers can be too. I also learned about the characters’ personalities. Shakespeare used this as a way to introduce the characters’ tempers. In Romeo and Juliet, the nurse was the messenger for Juliet.
Lastly, Shakespeare uses Romeo and Juliet to show true love. Nurse shows parental love to Juliet throughout the play. Despite being a servant to the Capulet household, she has a role equivalent to that of Juliet’s mothers and regards Juliet as her own. Even with the fact that Nurse is not the birth mother of Juliet, she still treats Juliet like a daughter. Nurse cares about Juliet and wants her to be happy and find success.”
