Oh Let Me Introduce You to the One and Only Juliet

Brave and beautiful as always, Juliet is the joy and pride of the Capulets. Young and vulnerable she seems, her deceitfulness alongside her passionate love for Romeo makes her seem much older than she appears to be.

When we first encounter Juliet, we see her as the young, obedient daughter to her loving family.  Finding out she is not even 14 years old yet, we infer that she is immature due to her age. Well... our judgement is completely wrong; Juliet Capulet is a very a deceitful, rebellious, intelligent and courageous teenager, who acts older than she looks.

At the beginning of the play, Juliet is introduced as a very tame and compliant daughter to Capulet. She respects both her parents which shows her loyalty to her family. As the story progress, Juliet falls in love with Romeo and this causes her to become more devious and rebellious, losing the respect and loyalty she originally had for her mother and father. This is revealed in Act 2 , Scene 2 during the balcony scene, "...sworn my love, And i'll no longer be a Capulet", where Juliet  declares her love for Romeo through a hyperbole to exaggerate her willingness for him to love her back.

Juliet is also a very strong, determined and courageous women which contradicts her youthful and innocent appearance. This is prevalent in scenes such as: when she sneaks off to Friar Lawrence's cell to get married, when she refuses to marry Paris, when she drink the potion to presumably kill herself. These events show that Juliet is a risk taker. Her outer beauty, is eventually overpowered by her inner beauty in the scene where Juliet ultimately decides to kill herself. This dramatic moment uses an oxymoron"O happy dagger" to depict Juliet's death as an ironic one, since it opposes her original plan to be with Romeo. 

We can see these personality traits Juliet has, makes her the perfect counterpart for  Romeo
