The Nurse and her relationship with Juliet in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Throughout the play the Nurse continually appears. At the beginning of
the play the relationship is clear. From the outset and throughout the
play the trust, protection, willingness, mischief, and loving care of
the Nurse are shown.
The Nurse has a lot of affection for Juliet. She plays more of a
mother figure to Juliet than her natural mother does, Lady Capulet.
The Nurse has nursed her all her life. The Nurse has been within the
Capulet household for at least fourteen years, the entirety of
Juliet's life. As Juliet grows up, she still plays an important role
in her life. The Nurse was actually Juliet's wet nurse, and it is
proven that a bond between a baby and one who feeds it is very strong.
The Nurse had a daughter of her own, Susan. She was born on the exact
same day as Juliet; she unfortunately died leaving the nurse very
distraught. When she got the job of looking after Juliet she was at
last contented. Juliet was like her own daughter; she took the place
of Susan. This shows that the nurse is quite an affectionate
character. She continuously looks out for Juliet. It also shows that
the nurse is quite caring; taking on the job of a full time nurse is
hard. However, she shows love continuously. Although the Nurse is
Juliet's servant, the attitude of that is hidden. The relationship
between the pair is so close that the idea of the Nurse being Juliet's
servant is hidden.
(Act 1, scene 3) is where we first see the Nurse. This is the scene
that we can gather her background information. The two sit together
reminiscing on the "good old day...

...en the Nurse advises Juliet
to forget about Romeo and Marry Paris she motivates Juliet to actin
and she seeks help elsewhere.
The Nurse suggests that Juliet should forget about Romeo and marry
Paris. She loses
Juliet's confidence, and trust. Juliet decides to seek the help of
Friar Laurence; thereafter she no longer involves the Nurse in her
secret Plans.
That is the last scene in which we see the Nurse. Throughout the play,
she appears, however when she loses Juliet's trust, she is lost from
the play.
The Nurse plays a critical role in Romeo and Juliet. Her relationship
with major characters and her part in the secretive romance of the two
lovers cause the play's actions to move quickly and in a powerful way.
The Nurse acts as Shakespeare's pawn to guide the events of the play
in a dramatic manner.
William Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, is set in Verona,Italy in the 14th century. It is about two families in Verona that are in a feud. One of the main characters, Juliet Capulet, is taken care of by her nurse, Angelica. Juliet trusts Angelica with all the news about Romeo. She plays an important role in Juliet’s life. Angelica is a lot like a mother that talks a lot and helps Juliet with everything.

Juliet as a Disobedient Wretch in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The quote that Lord Capulet said to Juliet, calling her a "disobedient" wretch" in Act III Scene 5. He enters the play delighted because he has good news that Juliet is going to marry Paris. Juliet refuses this and as soon as Juliet tells Lord Capulet this, he is furious.
Mercutio and the Nurse in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Throughout the whole of Romeo & Juliet there is a strong comparison. between Mercutio & the nurse. Neither are a part of either family, but they get drawn into this family brawl.
The Pressure on Juliet in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. In the play Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare pressure builds up to Juliet. This is caused by a number of factors. Because Juliet is the only surviving daughter, the only child of the Capulet s, there there is a big expectancy on Juliet of the Capulets, because everybody expects her to make a marriage with a noble man.
Leo Buscaglia once said, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” In the field of nursing, this concept could not be illustrated more profoundly. The trait of caring within nursing is arguably the most important trait that a nurse could possess. It can be defined in various ways, but to me, caring is the act of being moved or compelled to action by feelings of compassion, empathy, sympathy, anger, intention, sadness, fear, happiness, protection, enlightenment, or love in light of another human being. There are many aspects to the term “caring”. It is an ever-present shape shifter, swiftly
Even though The Nurse may be a servant in the Capulet household, The Nurse has a far more superior role to an ordinary servant. This is seen in Act 1 Scene 3 when Lady Capulet sent The Nurse out and she immediately calls her back in as The Nurse knows Juliet so well. The relationship between The Nurse and Juliet is so strong that The Nurse knows Juliet better than her own mother; this is shown in Act 1 scene 3 when Lady Capulet does not know the age of her daughter.
The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is about a forbidden love between two hateful households which tragically ends in death. It begins with Romeo’s broken heart from a dainty lady and a lively masquerade where two lone souls come together. However, their love for one another was doomed at birth for both households had a constant hatred for one another. Infatuation, rage, and sadness contribute to an unhealthy relationship between Romeo and Juliet.
From “the fatal loins” (Prologue.5) of Lord and Lady Capulet, protagonist Juliet is born in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. Early on in the play Juliet is portrayed as a very dutiful daughter to her family. After her encounter with Romeo however, she begins a rapid transformation from a naive young girl into a woman. By the end of the play Juliet’s transformation evolves her from a dutiful daughter, into a faithful wife that is willing to desert her family in the name of love.
As caretakers of children, family, and community, it was natural that women were the nurses, the caregivers, as human society evolved. Nursing may be the oldest known profession in the world. The Civil War gave enormous boost to the building of hospitals and the development of nursing as a credentialed profession that was led to greater respect for nurses, something that the congresses acknowledge in the year of 1872. Linda Richards was America’s first professional trained nurse. Like most educational institutions during that time, the schools did not admit African Americans, and the informally trained black woman who nursed during the Civil War. The war was served as the beginning of moving the profession from the home to the hospitals and clinics. “There was an explosion of nursing schools in the late nineteenth century.”(www.nwhm.org) Most of the schools were associated with hospital.
The Nurse is more influential than Lady Capulet in Juliet’s life, and she even contributes to the death of Juliet.

The medical field is filled with many rewarding jobs and one of those jobs is being a nurse: the job of taking care of people who are sick, injured, or old. Seems like a pretty easy task doesn’t it?
