Comparing Juliet In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Improved Essays
Juliet,

I admire that you have finally found someone you actually have feelings for but you don’t know what his intentions are. You have to be sure that he truly loves you. He is just be using you since he is a Montague. He once said that he loved Rosaline, too. He is just a lovesick person. Don’t develop feelings for him until you know him better. Ask him questions to uncover his real purpose, “If that thy bent of love be honorable, thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow” (2.2.144-147). You might think it is love at first sight but you never know.
Even your family members aren’t supportive of your decisions. When you were impatiently waiting for the Nurse’s message about Romeo, the Nurse “in half an hour promised to return” (2.5.3),

    A basic translation of the line is that women who are made wives at too young of an age can have their lives ruined. This could mean in both a physical sense, or in a sense of her relationship with her partner. Since the pressure would be extremely high on Paris to produce a male heir, that could be even more strenuous for his future wife. Capulet avers this due to his own personal experiences, as well as those of the time he lives in. At the time, many people died during childbirth or of plague, and childbirth was the leading cause of death to women.…
