    Subsequently, we see the Nurse; Juliet’s handmaiden and close friend. Her role as comic relief can relieve tension at conflicting points in the play, such as the discussion with Juliet’s mother on Paris’ worth as a husband. The Nurse is the person that Juliet feels comfortable talking to about the situation with Romeo, and she also serves as a “romantic go-between” for the couple.

Despite not understanding Juliet’s idea of love she continues to support her by arranging meetings for the…
