When Romeo and Juliet begins Juliet is a good, polite obedient tempered girl. Her words were very eloquent, and, at times, somewhat confusing, but pleasant. One thing that Shakespeare did to indicate this through his writing was to always use relatively short and simple responses when spoken to.
As the play continues and Juliet talks to Romeo more her words make her seem ever more wistful. In scene two of act two even though she desires to be with Romeo she is still seemingly reserved and cautious in her demeanor. Somehow she manages to fall in love with Romeo and get married after only a few days of knowing each other. Of course, as soon as she is married Romeo runs away, and Juliet becomes less cautious as she awaits news of her beloved.
As she is awaiting news of Romeo her father, who she didn’t then know about her first marriage, decides that it is time for her to marry. When she is talking with Paris and her father about her wishes she becomes more reserved, and very vague about what she wants. Her father chooses to ignore her hints, and insists that she marry
Paris. Once Juliet knows her fathers choice she realizes that she might have to do
something drastic to prevent her second marriage her mind immediately jumps to death. Eventually she decides to go talk to Friar Laurence. While she is at Friar Laurence’s she is extremely passionate about being with Romeo or no one, but she also stupid because her version of “no one” means death.
When Friar Laurence says that he has a possible solution she basically says “I’ll do anything,” not caring about ay dangers. With that in mind she takes a sleeping potion that imitates death, Romeo sees her when she’s asleep, so he kills himself. When Juliet sees Romeo she kills herself. To sum up the major changes that occur in the book Juliet starts as cautious and reserved, and ends being passionate and wistful for Romeo, and only Romeo.
