The Nurse was a servant of the Capulet family and it is common to have a nurse in wealthy families. The Nurse has looked after Juliet since she was a baby. The Nurse is a very funny, disturbing and
The actions of the nurse and the Friar are responsible for Romeo and Juliet’s deaths. From the very begging of Romeo and Juliet’s newfound love, the nurse is supportive and helpful with Juliet. The nurse was an influential adult to Juliet and knew that the Capulets planned for Paris and Juliet to be married. She should have known better and discouraged Juliet from seeing Romeo. Instead, the nurse acted as a messenger between Romeo and Juliet for information about the wedding (Act II, scene iv).
Juliet’s parents, the Capulets, wanted her to marry Paris. Juliet didn’t like Paris and wanted to marry Romeo. She refused to marry Paris (Shakespeare 66).

She’s just self-obsessed, and unable to judge herself and her position honestly. It seems at every chance she gets, Curley’s wife likes to talk about her lost opportunities. She speaks of a traveling actor who told her she could join their show, without gathering that this is a pretty standard pick-up line. Same with the offer to go to Hollywood: Curley’s wife has convinced herself that her mother stole the letter, rather than realize the men weren’t really interested in her for any actual talent. Curley’s wife’s obsession with herself ultimately leads to her death.
She always seemed to want the best for Juliet and do good things for her but she also seemed confused throughout the story. One thing she did in the story that shows this was when she conspired with Friar Laurence about a plan to give the new made bridegroom their honeymoon night.

Even though Romeo and the nurse didn’t get off on a good start, she told Romeo that she will still deliver the message he sent to Juliet. “Good heart, and i’faith I will tell her as much. Lord, Lord, she will be a joyful woman.” (II.iv.156) The nurse had a change of heart since the start of her conversation with Romeo. All she cares about is Juliet and her happiness, so she’s willing to do what it takes to keep Juliet happy; even if it means caringly telling Romeo that she will deliver the message to Juliet, after he was so rude to her. When Romeo finds out the news that he is banished, he reacts immaturely.

Juliet can no longer trust
