She is absolutely the most courageous of the play’s characters, due to the fact that she has to make some of the most difficult decisions in the play.She must decided whether to disobey her parents and stay faithful (to) her husband, or to refuse her husband for another man. Juliet is also charged with making the decision to face the world of hate she lives in, or kill herself to get away from it.
She comes of age extremely quickly because the world around her forces her to do so.She responds beautifully, becoming a young woman of honor and strength, a world away from her childish girl self. She is not able to maintain her innocence, because at the tender age of 14 she sees the death of her cousin, marries a sworn enemy, and is left with only the option of suicide to stay with her husband.All of the death, hate, and destruction are more than enough to rid Juliet of her previous innocence.She falls victim to the world, or better said, the world around her in Verona, because of circumstance.If she had been born a commoner and not born into the rich Capulet family, she would never have had these difficulties.Instead, she is received into a world of hate that she cannot escape.This fierce hate is what holds Juliet prisoner, and makes her a victim of the world and of her situation.Even though she works hard at staying true to Romeo and trying to unite with him even after he is banished to Mantua, fate ultimately decides the ending of the play.
