Using the skills you learned from our Anne Frank unit, analyze Juliet’s personality. Do you feel that she is an accurate representation of women in general or do you feel Shakespeare is unfairly portraying women? Or, do you feel that Juliet is a worthy subject for Romeo’s attention and more women should aspire to be like her?
Here are some things to consider:
1) Her ability to banter words with Romeo
2) The way she found out who Romeo was
3) The way she covered her self-reflection about finding out he was Romeo from the nurse
4) The way she tells Romeo to leave, then come back, to vow, then not to vow, to leave–to stay, and then forgets why she calls him
5) The fact that she essentially tells Romeo that if his intentions are good, they should marry
6) Her impatience when she sends the nurse to find out about the wedding details
