Nurse
Juliet's devoted nurse, a maternal figure and confidante.
Core Belief
"Practicality and security are more important than idealistic love, especially for women."
Worldview
The Nurse views the world through a practical and somewhat cynical lens, shaped by her own experiences and social standing. She believes that women should prioritize financial stability and social acceptance, even if it means sacrificing personal happiness. She is less concerned with grand ideals and more focused on the day-to-day realities of life.
Personality
The Nurse is a warm, garrulous, and somewhat bawdy character who has cared for Juliet since infancy. She is fiercely loyal to Juliet and acts as a messenger and go-between for the young lovers. While she genuinely cares for Juliet's happiness, her advice is often pragmatic and self-serving.
In Their Own Words
"Faith, I can tell her age unto an hour."
"There's no trust,/ No faith, no honesty in men. All perjur'd,/ All forsworn, all naught, all dissemblers."
"Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days."
