Juliet’s character is a collection of innocence, youth and naïveness. Her portrayal, however, did not fit well with the stereotypical view of how an Elizabethan women should have been.

Once in a while making bad choices doesn’t affect someone as much, but making then many times regularly does affect one’s life. This teaches people that we must think our actions through before committing them.
Juliet’s weakness to be controlled by love leads her to make unadvised and irresponsible decisions that contribute to her choice of ending her life. Characterized as a young and rash teenager, with no interest in love and marriage at first, Juliet wants to be independent. However, after she first lays eyes on Romeo, Juliet’s perception of love is quick to change. Their strong love easily manipulates and clouds her judgment. Even if she is cautious and realizes their love is too fast, the rush of feelings from having a first love overcomes her.
Juliet awakes to see Romeo dead next to her, and she, unable to live without him, takes his knife and kills herself. This is another showing of how obsession lead to depression.

Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story about a pair of star-crossed lovers whose demises were unexpected to most. However, their deaths were a result of their impulsiveness. It caused their problematic marriage, Romeo’s preventable death, as well as Juliet’s preventable death.
They were too impulsive and thought that ending their lives was the only option left. Juliet couldn’t just live with the fact of having to marry Paris. Romeo couldn’t live without his precious wife. So they decided not to. They killed themselves and now everyone else had to deal with the consequences.
The significance of Juliet’s change in character is to show her accelerated transformation from a young girl into a mature woman. In the beginning of the play Juliet is unable to make her own decisions. However after her meeting with Romeo, Juliet becomes more assertive and defends her love for Romeo. In conclusion, individuals cannot be forced to love; love is nurtured and nourished but also is always put to test.
An obedient, loving daughter would follow everything her parents said and was not able to even think for herself. First, Juliet goes behind her parent’s backs and marries Romeo, displaying an immense amount of strength and bravery. Also, she had the guts to sneak Romeo into her bedroom so they could seal their marriage. While it was normal to consummate the marriage the night of the wedding, it was extremely risky what Juliet did because one, she went behind her parent’s backs and two, Romeo is her sworn enemy. This was Juliet’s first experience of adulthood and it was a huge step considering, unlike young males, she has never had any experience with adult activities or decisions (Kahn). Moreover, Juliet tells her father, Lord Capulet, that she will not marry Paris, “Not proud, but thankful that you have/ Proud can I never be of what I hate,/ But thankful even for hate that is meant love” (III.v.151-153). Given the circumstances, Juliet had to obey everything her father said and a large part of that was Lord Capulet arranging Juliet’s marriage. She decides her own marriage plans and also refuses the plans her father had for her. Throughout the play Juliet is either seen at the Capulet compound or at shrift, the traditional way a young girl would be raised, out of sight from the outside world. According to Hamilton, “She is either at home or at church, and she is subject to [Capulet’s] rule. But she keeps striving for some control.” Even in Juliet’s last few minutes of her life she continues to convey great strength and courage, unlike being the stereotypical “weaker vessel,” when she kills herself with a dagger, a much painful way to go (Kahn). All in all, Juliet does in fact take some control over her life because of her defiance of the teenage girl stereotype and she leans towards the brave, rebellious, and strong personality causing her
The major climax of the play comes when the friar gives Juliet a potion that will make it seem as though she has died, when in fact she is alive the whole time. While in Mantua, Romeo mistakenly hears that Juliet has actually died and he goes to lay by her side. Just as he takes a vile of poison and dies Juliet awakens to find her love lying dead at her side. She cannot fathom living in a world without Romeo so she takes his sword and ends her own life.
