JULIET
Coming from one of the most intriguing books of a times, Juliet is a character that has a resounding personality. This is a character that brings some element of taste to the book relative to the fact that of all the other characters she is young and goes after what she wants in her life. This does not mean that life is exactly easy for her. However, through the challenges that she faces, she’s able to follow through. With a young and naïve approach though, she seeks after love from her Romeo. This is even though her family is against the love the two has for one another (Levenson & Shakespeare, 1987). She is ready to lose her family to the feelings that she has for Romeo. Juliet does not make apologies for the fact that, she was crossing most of her family members to be in love with someone who she believed was the perfect man for her life. Love is not an easy thing and sometimes it takes the best of even the most brilliant minds turning them against their families and friends. Although it does not end well for the character it is important to note that she brings about some very crucial lessons for the readers.

This is a pretty common aspect as, students have very active hormones at this age (Levenson & Shakespeare, 1987).

This is from the love episodes that most of the teenagers will be involved in. Making the choice to fall in love and get married at her age was the worst mistake she made.
In the case of the placement of the characters, Juliet can be considered as a hero. This without considering that in the end she dies. This is a character that starts off showing no signs of ever getting married. As such, she was very keen to even say that, she never saw herself getting married. However, this is before she meets Romeo. Ironically, she is later on seen to enquire from the nurse about the marital status of Romeo. She has fallen in love and is now pursuing Romeo. This is a rather important element of the character, which basically changes the direction of the story. She is the one that changes the story line into a love story after developing feelings for Romeo (Levenson & Shakespeare, 1987). Had she stayed as she had promised herself before without the urge to love a man or even get married to one; the story would have taken a completely different angle. However, she choose to love Romeo and in the end came to marry him.
Her quest in the story can be considered to be that of indicating the vile of lustful love. She is too young to understand fully what it means to love a man let alone getting married to one. As such, she plays a vital r...
