Romeo And Juliet Nurse Quotes

In consideration of the numerous conflicts in the William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the outcome of the deaths of the two main characters were provoked by Juliet’s nurse. Without this character in this play, much of the tragedy would have not have occurred. The nurse is like a mother and basically raised Juliet like a daughter, which means that she is a mentor for Juliet’s exclusive love life. Firstly, the nurse pressures Juliet various times throughout the play to go after Paris, but that is not what Juliet wants. The nurse relays information to Juliet in a negative way consistently, causing Juliet to become irritated and even causing suicidal thoughts. Finally, the nurse tries to convince Juliet that Paris is a better husband for

As a result, if Juliet wasn’t pressured into meeting Paris and having a future relationship, many conflicts wouldn't of happened later on in the play. The nurse stated “A man, young lady! Such a man, As all the world- why he's a man of wax” (1.3.76-77). The nurse means by “he’s a man of wax”, in this quote she is stating that he is enticing and has a lot of wealth. From this statement, Juliet is compelled into having a likeness with Paris even if she is young age (1.3.13-16). Yet, the nurse interrupts the love scene during the masquerade between Romeo and Juliet, “Madam, your mother craves a word with you” (1.5.110). From this comment it has shown that the nurse interfered in that circumstance, to make sure Juliet is staying on target with Paris, since he is a well suited nobleman. The nurse has a quick presumption that Romeo does know that Juliet is the daughter of the Capulet house. The nurse told Romeo, “Her mother is the lady of the house, a good lady, wise and virtuous.” (1.5.113-114). By this, Romeo realizes his only love is for the Capulet’s only child, which is his only enemy.“His name is Romeo, and a Montague, the only son of your great enemy” and Juliet exclaims, “My love has only sprung from my only hate!” (1.5.135-137). This has clearly shown that the nurse relays this messages between the two lovers, not realizing the consequences it might cause. Later on that night, Romeo

After the death of Tybalt by Romeo, many assumptions could be made. After the nurse got the terrible news of the death of Juliet’s cousin, she was startled that Romeo was the culprit. She exclaims; “Ah weraday, he’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead!”, when she reveals the information to Juliet (3.2.37). Nevertheless, Juliet is absent minded about the night ahead with Romeo and is distraught by the news said by the nurse. The nurse goes on misleading Juliet, “Alack the day, he’s gone, he’s kill'd, he’s dead!”, not telling who has been killed and not giving any source of information and goes on to say “O Romeo, Romeo!”. Then Juliet proclaims “What devil art thou that dost torment me thus!” and makes a deadly remark,“And that bare vowel ‘I’ shall poison more than the death-darting eye of cockatrice” (3.2.43/46-47). This deathly remark, foreshadows the near future (about the after effect) on the two main characters. The nurse, is not fully and clearly communicating current events. Eventually, the nurse informs Juliet, “Tybalt is gone and Romeo is banished” (3.2.69-70). This information is very critical for Juliet, since Romeo and herself are newly weds. At first, she felt agitated by the death of Tybalt and dissed Romeo, “A damned saint, an honourable villain!” (3.2.79). Almost immediately after she believed that Romeo is evil, she changed her mind. However, the nurse affirms “No faith, no honesty in men” and
