My thoughts on Juliet

I think that Juliet is an interesting character because of her relatioship with her parents. She feels obligated to please them but she also has her own wants. She feels like she has to please her parents and keep them happy. She is a people pleaser but to a much lesser degree, because she only does that with her parents. I think that her meeting Romeo will be good for her because it will help her stop feeling like she has to do what her parents say and she can't speak up for what she wants. She is obediant to her parents but she wants to do the complete opposite.

In the beginning of the play Juliet's dad and Paris have a conversation about Paris marrying Juliet and then her family has a conversation about it. While there is a conversation between the nurse Juliet and Juliet's mother Juliet is willing to marry Paris just because her mother and father might want her to. She doesn't tell them her feelings at all, she just listens and agrees with what her mother says.

Romeo is different than Juliet because he is willing to express his feelings and emotions about the things in his life. I think that he will teach Juliet to eventually speak up for herself and let known what she really wants.
