Portrait of Juliet Capulet

Juliet Capulet

Daughter of Capulet, a young woman who experiences profound love and tragic loss.

From "Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare, William

Core Belief

"Love and loyalty are the most important values, worth sacrificing everything for, even life itself."

Worldview

Juliet's initial worldview is shaped by her family's expectations and social constraints. Her love for Romeo shatters this, forcing her to question the feud and the arbitrary nature of societal divisions. She develops a strong sense of independence and a willingness to defy her family for the sake of her love.

Personality

Juliet begins as an obedient and somewhat naive young girl, but quickly matures into a woman of great passion, courage, and determination after falling in love with Romeo. She displays remarkable intelligence and resourcefulness in navigating her impossible situation, but ultimately succumbs to despair.

In Their Own Words

"It is an honour that I dream not of."
"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?/ Deny thy father and refuse thy name."
"My only love sprung from my only hate!/ Too early seen unknown, and known too late!"
