How would you describe Juliets personality from romeo and juliet?

Answer 1

Shakespeare's Juliet is a headstrong and intelligent character, though she often seems timid to the audience. She is considered by many the true hero of the play, acting as a sounding board and a balance against impulsive Romeo, and taking control of situations with an ease.

When Juliet is compared to Romeo, she seems more grounded but also more imaginative. When Romeo gets lost in poetry, she brings him back down to reality. "O swear not by the moon, th' inconstant moon, | That monthly changes in her circled orb, | Lest that thy love prove likewise variable" (2.1.151-152). The balance and reversal of gender roles between the characters becomes clear when Romeo exhibits traditionally "feminine" traits such as bursting into tears, while Juliet shows "masculine" resolve and logically assesses the situation at hand without letting emotion sway her. She fantasizes without being swept away. She happily dreams about her sexual union with Romeo, and talks herself out of intense fear when anticipating awakening in her family's tomb.

Answer 2

We discussed this in my English class and came to the conclusion that Juliet seems the stronger character of the two. She is presented as rebellions and knowing what she wants. She disobeys her parents (something which girls didn't do all that often back then...) and also takes the initiative in things such as decided to get married and almost forcing Romeo to arrange it, instead of waiting around talking poetry, which although beautiful, was not a solid proof of love. They are both very young and impulsive (eg is they had been older and more mature they probably would not have killed themselves). Martha P's answer is very good! You should also come to your own conclusions, as English is about how you interpret things. Just because one person sees somethign one way doesn't mean that is the only way to see it.

Answer 3

She was silently obedient to her parents at the beginning of the play (like all proper Renaissance girls), but when she falls in love with Romeo she becomes more rebellious. I would also describe her as being kinda naive and a dreamer.
