romeo and juliet character audition - Juliet
Um hi, I want to be famous. Can you make that happen?
Good.
My name is tiffany brown, you might want to remember that, I’m 16 and obviously I’m auditioning for the pretty one, you know, that gets the hot boyfriend. What’s her name...? Um Jillian or something, whatev…..
Why do I want to be Juliet? oh that’s right I knew it started with a J.

Well firstly she is a Capulet, they are like the richest family in all of Verona, so I’ll get to dress up in really nice clothes, ill have servants and a nice house and I’ll get my hair done nicely before each performance, and the best thing is that her name is in the title, which means she is a main character, so I’ll get lots of time on stage for all the talent scouts to see how great I am.

How do I relate to Juliet? Well we are like practically twins, we both have guys running after us, and we are also close in age so you won’t have to spend money on Botox and stuff. Juliet is also a bit of a rebel; she got married without her parent’s permission. Sure I haven’t done anything as bad as that but it would be fun to play someone who just does whatever they like. Shakespeare portrays Juliet as an innocent young girl, but I can see past that act. She is practically a hero for women’s rights, she like stands up to her dad when he tells her she has to marry that old guy Paris, because she wants to marry for love.

Oh yeah of course I know about the other characters I’ll have to work with.
Well firstly there is the nurse she is like her mother 'cause her real one, Lady Capulet didn’t care about her so much, in the beginning her dad lord Capulet seems to care but them is like really mean to her.
She marries Romeo who is the enemy of her family, but she only met him like a day before they got married. Romeos friend mecrutio killed her cousin tybault, and Paris wants to marry her. Also Friar Lawrence is her friend and does the wedding. So yeah.

Important events? Well Why do you think I want to be Juliet she has

    Death always tends to grasp people's attention, especially the deaths of children just like in Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. For the deaths of both Romeo and Juliet, the Families, Friar Lawrence, and Fate all played a part. First, the Capulet Family pushed Juliet to get married without considering how she felt, as well as Friar Lawrence, who planned for Juliet to fake her own death by giving her the potion. Although, they are only partially to blame, ultimately, Fate is the most to blame for both the children’s deaths due to Romeo and Juliet being destined to be together. Because of this, there is no way they could have avoided this tragic incident.…

    Juliet’s personality and character is one of the most obvious and significant element that has been recontextualised. In Shakespeare’s play, Juliet is described to be more than just a pretty face; she’s smart, witty, determined and mature. She knows what she wants, and she gets it as it is Juliet who proposes to Romeo not the other way around. In the text, she is written to be thirteen years of age and begins the play as a naïve child who has thought little about love and marriage, but she grows up quickly upon falling in love with Romeo. Being a girl from a high social class family, she has none of the freedom Romeo has to roam around the city or climb over walls at midnight. However she shows amazing courage in trusting her life and future to Romeo, refusing to believe the worst reports about him and even willing to shut important people out of her life (nurse) the moment they turn against Romeo. "And when I shall die, take him and cut him up in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that the entire world will fall in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun." Juliet’s role in society is very minor and simple. She is the pretty, ‘prized’ daughter of the Capulets and is expected to be obedient of men in their families. In the novel, she receives little guidance and help from her family and is expected to marry Paris as her father decided. This gives a clear example of women’s role and its unimportance.…

    October 16th was the opening night for a Carroll production of Romeo and Juliet. Many familiar faces around Carroll are involved with the shakespearian production and everything seems to be going smoothly. On Thursday night (the 15th), a dress rehearsal was given to an open audience and was very well received with seemingly everything going according to plan. However, behind the show are some interesting characters as well.…

    Last, Paris, in my option showcases a dramatic element by asking Lord Capulet for Juliet's hand in marriage when he has yet to meet her. Paris says "But now, my lord, what you say to my suit?"(1001) Paris has never met Juliet so he doesn't know what she's like. I predict that Paris may be the reason Romeo and Juliet's marriage would have to concluded.Juliet will probably pick Romeo over Paris because she's fallen in love with him and that creates yet another conflict in the story.…

    Amanda said ”Our whole modern understanding of adolescence is there to be found in this play. Shakespeare essentially created this new category of humanity, and in place of the usual mix of nostalgia and loathing with which we regard adolescents, Shakespeare would have us look at teenagers in a spirit of wonder. He loves his teenagers even as he paints them in all their absurdity and nastiness” (Brown and Schulten). Juliet and teenagers share similar personalities, attitudes, and emotions. Teens today have kept the same personality as they had hundreds of years ago during Juliet’s…

    I took the job with the Capulets because of my own daughter Susan. I needed to look after my own daughter, so some might say I was desperate. Unfortunately she passed away and is with God now, my little Susan was too good for me. And now for Juliet, hey always got on but she was too good for me. I kept on looking after Juliet because I still needed to look after myself and because Juliet became like a daughter to me. I didn’t want to lose a second daughter. When Juliet asked me to go and see Romeo, I agreed so she would be happy. I would do anything for my Juliet, she meant the world to me, and she was my daughter. Although we are not bound by blood, I care for Juliet as if she was my own; I know that Juliet thinks of me as her mother at least more that Lady Capulet. Some may beg to differ that without being bound by blood I am not her mother but my love for Juliet is like for Susan. Love is what makes real family. I knew he had asked her to marry her because she told me as soon as it had happened, but I didn't realize that the wedding would be so soon. But my Juliet’s happiness is all that matters to me, but I knew the Capulets would be furious if they found out I was helping the star-struck couple. When I got back from seeing Romeo, she had obviously been up waiting for me to tell her when and where the wedding would be. I didn't tell her to go back to bed like I normally do because I knew she would get frustrated but I did keep her hanging on because I knew that she would be more grateful to me. When at last I did tell her, she was very happy. 'Hie to high fortune! Honest Nurse farewell', I think were her exact words. When I found Juliet's 'dead' body, I felt like my whole life had fallen to pieces around me because her and Susan were my life. I hurt my poor Juliet, I did not believe her love was true, I recall saying will we were bickering, “Then, since the case so stands as now it doth, 
I think it best you married with the county. 
O, he's a lovely gentleman!…
