How Does Romeo And Juliet Change Throughout The Play

In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet Juliet is portrayed as an immature teenager. Although she shows signs of maturity, it is overshadowed by her childish behaviour. To begin, Juliet is impatient throughout the play. For example, when Nurse returned home and had news about Tybalt’s death Juliet kept pestering Nurse for information. The Nurse was attempting to speak, but whilst trying to explain that Tybalt was dead Juliet became irate, and impatient with the Nurse saying:
What devil art thou that dost torment me thus?
This torture should be roared in dismal hell.
Hath Romeo slain himself? Say thou but ‘Ay’,
And that bare vowel ‘I’ shall poison more
Than the death-darting eye of cockatrice.
I am not I if there be such an ‘I’;
Or those eyes shut that makes thee answer ‘Ay.’
If he be slain, say ‘Ay’; or if not, ‘No.’;
Brief sounds determine of my weal or woe. (3.2.43-51).
Next, Juliet is dramatic which is often a trait of young teenagers. To further explain, when Juliet first met Romeo at the Capulet’s party she was clearly in love with him. At time of parting she did not know his name and wished meet him again. She attempted to get his name by asking Nurse, and while asking she demonstrated her dramatic nature, “Go ask his name. - If he be married,/ My grave is like to be my wedding-bed” (1.5.133-35). In this quote she said that if he was married she would die which is dramatic, and quite childish. Finally, Juliet shows that she is immature through her naivety of love. Juliet has had little experience with love, and that is shown when Romeo and Juliet decide to get married less than 24 hours from the time that they met. Romeo indirectly shows her naivety when he asks Friar Laurence to marry them, and Friar Laurence
