Over the course of the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Juliet Capulet's point of view on love and marriage changes radically. At the beginning of the play Juliet has mixed feelings about love and marriage, but once she meets her "star-crossed lover", it changes how she feels. In the end, Juliet tragically kills herself when she realizes that Romeo has committed suicide. Shakespeare provides evidence of this change through Juliet's use of language, imagery, and dramatic irony in the play. Juliet's first introduction occurred in Act 1, Scene 3, and establishes the fact that she doesn't think about marriage and love. Lord Capulet asks Juliet what she thinks of marriage and Juliet replies "it is an honor I do not dream of (1.3.67)". Later in the same scene, Juliet's mother asks her if she can "like the love of Paris (1.3.97)?" Juliet responds that "it will feel like (1.3.98)", but does not use the word love. In Act 1, scene 5, Juliet meets Romeo for the first time and he kisses her. At first she tries to prevent him from kissing her hand, playing with his image of the pilgrim and the saint, but then she allows him to kiss her. Juliet's interest in Romeo is different from the indifference she shows in 1.3, when she talks to her mother. Juliet begins to consider love, because she begins to fall in love with Romeo. Juliet's soliloquy on the balcony reveals her true feelings towards Romeo. Juliet thinks she is alone, so she reveals her true feelings towards Romeo, but the audience knows that Romeo is listening to her talk, from a bush in the Capulets' courtyard. Juliet dwells on Romeo's name and longs for his company. Juliet said, "just be sworn my love (2.2.35)." and “be some other name (2.2.35).” She was... in the center of the paper... something she hadn't cared about before. Her love for Romeo changed the way she spoke and the things she cared about. When Romeo convinces Juliet to make her promise of love to him, she changes both the things she spends time talking about and the way she talks. He uses more complex imagery and is less concerned with practical matters, such as family feud or the possibility of his parents finding out about Romeo. Romeo's exile and her parents forcing her to marry Paris made her desperate and gave her the courage to take the potion and pretend to be dead. Her love for Romeo changed her character to allow her to attempt things she otherwise might not. Juliet's suicide is ultimately the final confirmation of her transition to being a romantic. She rejects the practical option and without Romeo, without their marriage and without love, she ends her life.
