As a dynamic character, Juliet Capulet changes throughout the entire play Romeo and Juliet. In the beginning of this well-known classic, she is portrayed as naïve, impatient, and obedient. After meeting her love, Romeo, she matures and becomes faithful to him, which gets her into trouble.
Juliet Capulet, being young, is naïve. In Act 1 Scene 2, you find out she is merely thirteen years old as her father tells Pairs (a man whom wants to marry her) that “she hath not seen the change of fourteen years.” Juliet meets her star-crossed lover, Romeo Montague, at a party and later that day when he goes to see her she says “if that thy bent of love be honorable, thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow… and call my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay and follow thee my lord throughout the word.” (II ii 143-144, 147-148) This shows Juliet as naïve because she has only known Romeo for a few hours and she wants to marry him. The Montauges and Capulets are enemies. Lastly, when the nurse goes to Romeo for the date and time of the wedding she warns Romeo “…if ye should lead her in a fool’s paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind …show more content…
Her age could be at fault for that as well. In act two scene five her impatience is shown best. The nurse was supposed to go to Romeo to find out the information for the wedding. It took her three hours just to find him. Juliet’s soliloquy shows how upset she was with the nurse for taking long. (ll v 1-17) When the nurse finally comes back, Juliet bombards her with questions of what Romeo said. “Nay, come, I pray thee speak. Good, good, nurse, speak.” The nurse replies,” Jesu, what haste! Can you not stay awhile?” (ll v 29) which shows her irritation towards Juliet for not letting her take a break. Just as Juliet is naïve in act two scene two, lines 143-144, 147-148, she is impatient as well. At first, she said it was moving too fast (ll ii 119) but she had a change of heart, and wants to marry Romeo as soon as
