Juliet's own actions and decisions Not only does Shakespeare portray Juliet’s constrained independence by the rigorous social norms, but he also reveals her defiance through her actions and choices. Juliet’s questions on the importance of names and identities: “Any other name [smells sweet] (II, II, 45–46).
