Romeo and Juliet
Act-1 Scene-3
Summary of the scene
Lady Capulet calls Juliet to talk about marriage, but before the conversation of marriage starts the moms knowledge of her own daughter is tested by the nurser of Juliet. The mother starts of the conversation with not knowing the age of the daughter, and the nurse (not intentionally) ashamed the mother by knowing the age and more of Juliet. Lady.Lady Capulet is a foil toward the nurse making the nurse look really good because the nurse knows more than the mother about Juliet. The conversation continues and Juliet puts her input on marriage and says that she doesn't wish for marriage while the nurse and Capulet want her to marry, and its up to Juliet to decide what to do.
Charecters
Nurse
Nurser to Juliet, the nurse is an out going lady who talks a lot, and has a couple dirty comments throughout the scene. As much as the nurse doesn't have a clean mind, and thinks dirty the nurse knows Juliet inside out, and cares for Juliet.
Juliet
Daughter to lady Capulet, Juliet is a very subtle respectful girl. Juliet respects her parents and want to please them. Juliet doesn't like the thought of marriage but because of her parent she is willing to consider
Lady Capulate
Mother to Juliet wife to Lord Capulet. Lady Capulet in this scene doesn't seem to know much about Juliet her daughter, and doesn't seem like the best mother. One thing that lady Capulet wants though is for Juliet to marry a young man called Paris.

Why I Chose The Song
Yes i actually know this song i didn't just find it for the assignment. This song to me gives a feel of isolation, loneliness, being different. I chose it because it applied to Juliet not really wanting to be or get married not wanting to be with anyone, but her mother and the nurse wanting her to get married, but that's not what she wishes, "i'm not the man they think i am at home".
