As she said :” my only love sprung from my only hate.”
Juliet is a dutiful loyal daughter. She is always trying to be sensible. This can be shown when Juliet is standing on the balcony and Romeo, who is in the garden of the Capulets, talks romantically to Juliet .
Romeo says : “Lady , by yonder blessed moon I vow, That Tips wih silver all these Fruit –tree tops “. Juliet replies :” O swear not by the moon , th ´inconsistant moon , That monthly changes in her circled orb , lest that thy love prove likewise variable”.
She is trying to say to Romeo that love is going to change like the moon. Today they are in deep love .
Next morning they may not love each other any more.She is trying to be sensible about the marriage , but Romeo isn´t.
This puts more preesure on Juliet.
Next day when Juliet and Romeo marry , more pressure is put on Juliet´s shoulders , because the whole mariage has to be kept in secret.
She has to keep the marriage in secret , because she would be in big trouble if she didn´t .
When Juliet hears about the death of Tybalt , she doesn´t know how to react.
So much new pressure is put on her .
When she hears about Romeo being banished from Verona , she is at the point as low as she gets in the play from her feelings.She wants to end her life.
The same day her parents put more pressure on her daughter because they tell her that she is going to marry Paris , a rich kinsman of the Prince, on Thursday.
Also the treatment of her father she thinks is not appropriate to a girl of the age of 13 years. She is a loyal daughter who wouldn´t want to hurt her parents feelings by telling them the truth about her.
A good quotation from the book which describes her fathers treatment and rude use of language :” I will drag thee on a hurdle thither out, you green-sickness-carion!out, you baggage ! you tallow-face! “
This her father says after Juliet tell her parents that she doesn´t want to marry Paris .
If you look at the position of Juliet now you see why Juliet is looking for help desperately.
Her father threw her out of the house .She is depressed so much pressure is put on her ,she is thrown out of the house,she is married in secret to Romeo , even more pressure gets put on her because her cousin Tybalt is killed by her husband Romeo.
This really gets her Juliet , because she is married to Romeo, married by Friar Lawrence in St Peter´s Church , and is now expected to marry Paris in the same Church .She knows that she can´t be married to two man because of the law, this really put a lot of pressure on her , because she knows the way it´s now it it not going to work.
She says to her mother which indicates that there is something wrong with her , she say´s :” Now by Saint Peter´s Church and Peter too, He shall not make me there a joyful bride.
Her fresh married husband is banished from Verona for the rest of his life.
She thinks she is never going to see her husband again in her life.
Also there is another big pressure acting against Juliet because she isn´t divorced to Romeo, and by law you are only allowed to be married to one husband at a time.
But she is forced to marry paris on Thursday which really starts to get to her nerves.
The point when Juliet is hopeless you can see when she goes to the Friar to get immediate help, We can see her desperation in the way that they talk to each other.Juliet is so desperate for a solution because the pressure is so big on her ,she can´t stand the pressure anymore .She wants to find a way out of there.When the Friar Lawrence found a solution Juliet is desperate to get is , Juliet:”Give me,give me ! O tell not me of fear.
The plan which she worked out , was working very well until Romeo gets the message that Juliet is dead , but doesn´t get the message from the Friar about his secret plan .He is so upset that he buys poison liquid to kill himself in the Grave of the Capulet.
Virtually as Romeo drinks the poison , Juliet wakes up out of her sleep .At this point of the play they both knew that it is the end for their relationship , and out ofo such a strong love she kisses his lips and they both die in peace.Also she kills herself aswell out pure hassle and because she is so down she doesn´t know what to do because the pressure on her is so big at that point , that she takes the easiest way and kills herself.
