Juliet’s evolvement of independence Similar to a parasite, Juliet, the daughter of Capulet and Lady Capulet in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, is a character who is very dependent and doesn’t formulate her own opinion. So, throughout the course of the story, Juliet develops her own thoughts and continuously becomes more independent according to the experiences she faces, consisting of disobeying her parents, falling deeply in love with Romeo and finally accomplishing her liberty.

When Juliet finally found her mom, Juliet demonstrates courtesy and respect to which was typical during that time. “Madam” also indicates obedience to her mom, meaning Juliet respects her mom’s authority and is prepared to listen to her. Overall, Juliet’s attitude toward her mom demonstrates that she was very loyal to her family, the Capulets. In relation to this, when Juliet meets with Romeo to ask him to marry him, Juliet exclaimed, “Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed. / If that thy bent of love be honorable, / Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow”(2.2.149-151). The quote uses symbolism, specifically when Juliet said, “If that thy bent of love be honorable.” The quote shows that Juliet is essentially saying that she loves Romeo and is saying goodbye to him. In relation to this, she also said that if Romeo truly loves her and is serious about their marriage, that Romeo should send a message the next day about their marriage plans. In general, this demonstrates that Juliet has evolved into a character who enjoys liberty and doesn’t care about her parent’s authority, thus this demonstrates a dynamic character.
To synthesize, Juliet is a dynamic character, meaning she has changed her characteristics and traits during the play. Building up upon this, Juliet has made up her mind and improved her decision taking abilities, was able to select Romeo as her lover, and thus, has achieved the prosperity of gaining freedom. By the conclusion of the play, Juliet has transformed herself from a parasite to a bird, meaning she has evolved and formulated her own ideas based on her
