JULIET AND THE NURSE:

Juliet is a fourteen year old who has a very rich family called Capulet. She has a very friendly and loyal Nurse in which she tells her everything about herself. They are good friends and Juliet knows that the Nurse is a good person. When Juliet meets Romeo and they decide to marry, she tells it to the Nurse. If the Nurse hadn't existed probably Romeo and Juliet would have never married. The Nurse gave Juliet good advice and said that it would be fine if she and Romeo married. She is a good Nurse also because she is loyal to Juliet and doesn't say Juliet's secrets to Juliet's parents. The Nurse also goes back and forth to Romeo to tell him what Juliet is saying and thinking. The Nurse is the character that influences Juliet the most because if the Nurse hadn't existed, probably Romeo and Juliet would have never married and none of this big tragedy would have happened!
