The Nurse has cared for Juliet since she was born, and she thinks of her as her own child. The Nurse actually lost her own child, Susan, at the time that Juliet was born, and the Nurse essentially adopted Juliet in Susan's place. NURSE. Susan and she (God rest all Christian souls!) Were of an age. Well, Susan is with God; She was too good for me (1.3.22–24). When Juliet's mother, Lady Capulet, tells Juliet that Paris wants to marry her, the Nurse is complimentary of Paris, but only superficially so.
