Why does Shakespeare construct Juliet`s lines so that she never directly lies?

I've read Romeo and Juliet many times, and I can't agree with your question as to "Why does Shakespeare construct Juliet's lines so that she never directly lies" There are several times where she led others to believe something other than the truth-- she led her father to believe she was going to the confessional for her rebellion, when she was truly going to marry Romeo.  She also finally acts as though she has succumbed to her father and will marry Paris. 
That being said: I said "led on to believe" which is our day and age is considered lying/dishonesty.  However when Shakespeare wrote this in 1597, things were much different than the are today.  <span></span><span>Why does Shakespeare construct Juliet`s lines so that she never directly lies? A potienal </span><span>answer could be: <span><em>Shakespeare wanted the character of Juliet to remain innocently caught up in between the</em><em> </em><em>fued of </em>the </span></span><em>Montague and </em><span><em>Capulet</em></span><em>.  If she had </em><em>out right</em><em> lied, her fragile, innocent </em><em>perseption</em><em> could be seen more as deception and connivery. </em>

Lelechka [254]

Although Cory is rich and of an elite class, he kills himself because he is unhappy.

The poem begins describing Richard Cory as a rich gentleman. The speaker of the poem is one of the townspeople and he says, "we thought that he was everything to make us wish that we were in his place." This envy from the townspeople does not cost him his life. But it surprises the townspeople because they thought they wanted to be him, however, they do not want to be dead like Cory is at the end of the poem. It is ironic because his unhappiness is unexpected since he came across as though he was happy because of his money.
