Relationships in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet In this essay I am going to discuss the relationship between Juliet, Mercuito, Tybalt and the nurse. Juliet is very independent. She acts older than her age, she is also very confused and depressed at the moment. She is caught between family honour and true love. The nurse is very talkative, she is very protective of herself and Juliet. The nurse is a servant of the Capulets, and therefore she is very polite. She is also very helpful and has a lot of patience. Mercuito, is a very faithful friend to Romero. He is funny and always manages to find a joke out of something, that would lighten the hearts of his friends. Tybalt is a very violet and aggressive character in the play. He is very cocky and likes a good fight, "tis he that villian Romero" He willing to provoke a fight with anyone from the house of the Montigue, especially Romero. Unlike Mercuito, Tybalt is rather dry and has no sense of humour, he is always serious. Tybalt is a member of the Capulets and deeply honours the family name "why uncle tis a shame" The nurse has raised Juliet since she was a baby. She plays more of a mothering figure than Juliet's true mother does. The nurse and Juliet regularly meet in the play. Juliet talks more casually with the nurse than she does to her mother. When Juliet talks to her mother it is always very formal, calling her "madam". Juliet shows that she trusts the nurse ,ore than she trusts her mother. An example of this would be, that she told the nurse about Romero, and not to her mother. The atmosphere created by the nurse and Juliet, is very relaxed. One way that the nurse show that she cares about Juliet is that she remembers the exact date of Juliet's birthday. "come lammas eve at night shall she be fourteen" Tybalt is Juliet's cousin, and is very dear to Juliet. He wants to fight Romero, to prove that he is better, but Romeo does not wan to
The Nurse has a stronger relationship with Juliet over her own mother, Lady Capulet. The nurse really cares for Juliet and loves her like a daughter because she lost her daughter Susan. “Susan and she-God rest all Christian souls!-/Were of an age: well, Susan is with God…”(Ⅰ,ⅲ,20-21). The Nurse lost her daughter, Susan, and she was born on the same day as Juliet. This leads me to believe that the Nurse must be replacing her own loss with the life of Juliet. The Nurse did do many things that only mothers do. “She was wean’d,-I never shall forget it…”(Ⅰ,ⅲ,26). This quote says that the nurse will never forget the day that Juliet was weaned off of her breast milk. Breastfeeding is something
the Nurse wants Juliet to be safe and happy and that she is not just

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the views of love held by the character Romeo contrast sharply with the views of Mercutio. Romeo's character seems to suffer from a type of manic depression. He is in love with his sadness, quickly enraptured and easily crushed again on a passionate roller coaster of emotion. Mercutio, by contrast is much more practical and level headed. His perceptions are clear and quick, characterized by precise thought and careful evaluation. Romeo, true to his character begins his appearance in the play by wallowing in his depression over Rosaline who does not return his love:
will come into it as they will both be falling in love with the enemy
