Juliet, one of the main characters in Shakespeare's play. She is still a young girl introduced in the play, not yet fourteen. Juliet at this young age goes through a tragic love story. Even though it seems like Juliet is intelligent, and could be responsible, she actually proves to be an immature young lady, who makes irresponsible decisions.
During a conversation that Juliet is having with her mother before the feast, Juliet proves on making prudent, and slow decisions. Once the conversation between the two begins, lady capulet says, " marry, that "marry" is what I came to talk to you about that's "the very theme". "Tell me daughter Juliet" are you ready "to be married?"( act1. Sc.3) and Juliet responds with "it is an honor that I dream not of." (Act.1 Sc.3) in this scene, Juliet reveals that she's not ready for marriage. Juliet is also hinting that she's too young for marriage, and that's not what she currently wishes for, or "dreams of". Lady capulet later on asks Juliet "can you like of Paris' love?" Juliet responds to her with a very mature, and solid answer. Which makes the readers believe that Juliet is very careful on making future choices. Juliet then responds to lady capulet, "but no more deep will I endart mine eye" and I won't give my observation of him this night, "strength to make "it" fly". (Act1. Sc4) Juliet then shows the audience that she wouldn't make any rash choices, saying "I won't give it strength to make it fly" meaning that she won't let any relationship, or love go out of control. Intelligent words, and choices for a fourteen year old girl, you'd like to believe, but barley do you know, that that's the opposite of what Juliet turns out to be in the future.

...espeare's play, that everything needs to be taken slow, and needs to be thought out. Because humans can make mistakes, we are again... Humans with flaws, and problems, and that's okay. As long as us humans with the problems, and flaws, take things slow, it will also end slow. There's a famous quote that says "what begins fast, ends fast, and what happens slow, ends slower" and this quote can also be looked as in life. If we make fast decisions like romeo and Juliet, maybe our lives will result in death faster. But what if every decision was thought out, and proceeded calmly (which is impossible cause we all, EVERYONE do tend to react) life could be way different, calmer, peaceful. We should all take in the lessons and murals in this story and try to improve ourselves on being better people, because everyone can fix something in themselves because no one is perfect.
