Although they are the basis of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, these main characters are boring, undynamic and do not specifically appeal to some readers. The nurse could be considered a more interesting character because she brings her wit, drama, and insight to the plot. The nurse is an elderly woman who works for the Capulet family and who also appears to be Juliet's mother figure. The nurse has quite a personality and is as unpredictable as a poker hand. She brings humor to this story of star-crossed lovers and throughout the composition it is shown that she enjoys teasing Juliet. A specific example of this is "Your love says, like an honest, courteous, kind, handsome, and, I warrant, virtuous gentleman: Where is your mother?" (II. iv. 38-40). The nurse is trying to work and shape Juliet's emotions just to see how she reacts. Her sarcastic nature also comes out when she says: “Well, you made a simple choice, you don't know how to choose a man. Romeo? No, not him. [...] It is not the flower of courtesy, but, I guarantee you, as gentle as a lamb. Go your way, maiden, serve God. What, have you dined at home?" (II. v. 38-39; 43-45). From the context of this scene, the audience can understand that the nurse is being sarcastic . In fact, she really likes Romeo and thinks he is a suitable match for Juliet. Another example where the nurse's wit is presented is when she says, “Yes ma'am. Yet I can't help but laugh at the thought of that I should stop crying and say 'Yes.' And yet, I warrant, there was a lump on his forehead as big as a young cockerel's stone, and he cried bitterly” (I. iii. 50-55). , Capulet makes a joke. Unlike Lady Capulet (who doesn't even crack a smile), Nu...... middle of paper...... marriage to Romeo). Stay a husband to make you a wife. [...] Hello in church; I must take another path, go and get a ladder, with which your love will soon climb up to a bird's nest when it is dark” (II. v. 69-77). The nurse is willing to help Juliet to a certain extent because she is like a daughter to her. He devises the plan so that the two young lovers can be together. Plus, his actions improve the story overall. “This afternoon, sir? Well, she will be there” (II. iv. 175). In a sense, the Nurse is Juliet's 'wingman'. It helps her get a chance to be with her suitor, which is what the entire plot revolves around. Overall, the nurse brings a certain mood to the play that could only come from her character. The nurse may not be the protagonist of this Shakespeare play, but she manages to make the reader understand her point of view.
