Juliet, a bracing protagonist in Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, has an effective determination to be with the one she loves no matter the damage it would cause. At the beginning of the story Juliet is this young and obedient girl. In the time period Romeo and Juliet takes place, young girls at her age get married. Juliet isn't worried about getting married nor thought of it one bit. During the story, Lady Capulet brings up the topic of Paris wanting to marry Juliet.

The two young lovers, did not die by fate or coincidentally, but by their own character and imperfections.
