Answer:
"Romeo and Juliet" is a tragic and romantic play that was written by English author William Shakespeare and which was first presented to the world between 1595 and 1597.
The story of Romeo and Juliet is of the lives of two star-crossed lovers whose families oppose completely to their union. However, this union is reached in secret and a series of event s begin to happen to drive them apart. In the end, faced with the reality of a final and irrevocable separation, death, the two decide to live together on the other side, and both end their lives.
During the play, there are a lot of characters involved, but none are more attention calling than three of them in particular: Romeo, Juliet and her Nurse. The reason for Juliet is that, aside from being the main female protagonist, she is in the beginning a truly innocent, obedient young girl who would not dare to go against her family´s opinions or decision, but this changes as she becomes more and more involved with Romeo, falls in love, and starts to face hardships. The Nurse also becomes interesting because she becomes a key piece in the success of Romeo´s and Juliet´s romance. These two characters display a lot of qualities throughout the play that make them unique. These are:
1. Young and independent-minded: Juliet. This is only achieved as the story progresses. Not at first.
2. Naive and protected: Juliet. She shows this at the start of the play but changes as events develop.
3. Cynical about women´s roles in society: Nurse
4. Idealistic about life: Juliet. This idealism starts changing as events unfold.
5. Pragmatic and practical about feelings: Nurse. She is the one who keeps both Juliet and Romeo grounded.
6. Unpolished and crude: Nurse. The nurse is a member of the servants of Juliet´s family and a commoner.
