Content: She has to decide whether to be disowned from her parents and refuse to marry Paris, realize that she and Romeo have no future because he is banished and will never be accepted by the Capulets, take drastic measures, such as suicide, to get out of the marriage with Paris, or go to Friar Laurence to see what he can do to get them together. Juliet is definitely afraid of her father who is a "bully" and wants to have authority and dominate others. Her mother is only concerned with social status since women don't inherit it unless they marry into a family. The Nurse has turned against her and is now sideing with her parents. This is a sign of betrayal to Juliet who considered the Nurse to be her "Mother" her whole life. Her only choice is to turn to Friar Laurence to see if he can remedy the situation and put all her faith and trust in him. If he can't solve the situatio, she will contemplkate suicide. This shows the intensity of her love for Romeo and that this love is more than just physical attraction. She is willing to go to any lengths to be with Romeo. Approved by eNotes Editorial Team
