In act one, we learn a lot about Juliet, even though she had few lines. By the end of act one, two boys had already expressed a love interest for her. Paris had asked Father Capulet if he could marry Juliet in act one scene two on page 638. Father Capulet responds by saying that if Juliet saw Paris and liked him, he would be permitted to ask for her hand in marriage. In act one scene five on page 651, Romeo sees Juliet and instantly falls in love with her. He says that he has not seen true beauty until he saw Juliet. Romeo also kisses Juliet twice. By having two boys already act this way towards her in one act, this suggests that Juliet is a very likable person and is shockingly beautiful. Being able to see how Juliet effects others lives shows the type of person she is. **Lindsey Taormina**

 * Throughout Act 1, we learned much about the type of character that Juliet is, although she has little lines. When Juliet was first introduced on page 641, she was being called in by her mother and nurse. As soon as she was called, Juliet arrived and asked what they needed. Arriving immediately and not fussing demonstrates through her first line, that Juliet is obedient. Also, in scene 5 on page 653, Juliet asks the nurse about a few boys before questioning her about Romeo. This shows Juliet tries to be secretive, but when Juliet finds out he is a Montague, she is obvious when she says she loves him in front of her nurse. Those two actions show that she attempts to be secretive but her "love" for Romeo is too overwhelming for her to keep quiet. **

__** Personal Traits of Juliet **__ Throughout act one, Juliet is seen to be an obedient and undecicive character. Act one incldes many detailed examples about Juliet, regarding the issue of marrage. In Act One Scene Two, page 640, Paris is consulting Juliet's father, Capulet about marrying her. The decision is left for Juliet to decide whether or not to take Paris's hand in marrage. In Act One Scene Three, Juliet's mother, Lady Capulet, consults Juliet on her opinion. Juliet's responce reveals that she is unsure about the issue of matromony. In Act One, Scene 5, on page 653, Juliet is kissed by Romeo. She exlaims "if he be married, my grave is like to be my wedding bed." This quote, taken from Act One Scene 5, shows that as time went on, Juliet became more certain about her decision regarding marrage. She will not fight the love. ~Kelly Antonacci
 * In Act One Juliet is a girl of very few words but the words she does say, say a lot about her. In Act One, Scene Three, page 642, it is noticed that Juliet is very good with words. When nurse asks her how she feel about marriage she respondes by saying "It is an honor that I dream not of." This can be interpreted as it is such an honor that she can't even dream about it or she dosn't want to think about it at all. Juliet also saves herself from trouble in Act one, Scene three, page 644, when her mother askes if she could love Paris she responds by saying, "I'll look to like, if looking liking move; But no more deep will I endart mine eye Then your consent gives strength to make it fly." She said this in the exact way her mother would prefer her to say. This can say that Juliet is well beyond her years. **

=== Throughout all of act one there was a lot of discussion about Juliet and who she will marry. In Act One Scene Five her father wants her to try to find someone she likes at the party. On page 652 she eventually finds one man that she likes, Romeo. He starts to flirt with her and eventually they kiss, twice. When Juliet goes back to her nurse she is asked if she found anyone that she likes. To mask the fact that she's very interested in Romeo she asks her about two other men before she asks about Romeo. When the nurse comes back she informs Juliet the man is Romeo and he is a Montague and she realizes that the one person she loves is the person she is supposed to hate. === -Nick Avallone

Juliet and Romeo Juliet is first introduced to us midway through act Act I. She did not speak much at first, until she went to the Caplet party. There, she meets Romeo on page 652. When they meet Romeo tells Juliet of her exquisite beauty, and after that Romeo dived in for a kiss. Juliet did not fight back at this romantic swing, and instead lets romeo kiss her not once, but twice. This shows that Juliet has a support of "Love at first sight". Further proof of her love of Romeo "at first sight," is on page 653 she tells the nurse that she loves an enemy she has always hated, meaning that she is in a difficult position to hide this from her parents and friends, meaning through out the rest of the play, she will have to make important key choices. -Tristan Kieffer

===Throughout Act 1 Juliet says few words, but her words are very powerful. Much of Juliet’s' character is revealed in act 1 just through her dialogue. As the question arises about who Juliet is to wed, she escapes the question by twisting her words. An example of Juliet’s' word twisting is on page 644, scene 3 when Juliet says, "I'll look to like, if looking liking move; But no more deep will I endart mine eye then your consent gives strength to make it fly." This reveals Juliet’s thoughts on marrying Paris, but also these words reveal one of Juliet's most important traits, intelligence. Juliet’s' powerful words are used to demonstrate her intelligence, but her word are also used to demonstrate her passion. On page 653 in scene 5 Juliet says, “My grave is like to be my wedding bed." This quote is emphasizing her love for Romeo, by saying that if Romeo is married she may die. Juliet speaks throughout the play in a very well planned manner. Juliet uses her words for power, passion, and love. ===
