In one of William Shakespeare's most beloved plays, Romeo and Juliet, the female protagonist discovers that her intense love for Romeo and Romeo's actions have begun to alienate her from those who he cares about. The playwright originally introduced us to thirteen-year-old Juliet as a still obedient child, and after she meets and falls in love with Romeo, her previously safe and secure life begins to unravel around her. This increase in isolation culminates in the events that lead to the play's tragic climax. Her actions within these pivotal scenes serve to heighten our admiration for Juliet - for despite her arguably rash decisions and perhaps self-inflicted isolation, her incredible courage shines through. This courage shows a new maturity in Juliet, which we find ourselves respecting greatly. When we first meet Juliet Capulet, we find her wrapped in the security of her parents' position and wealth, and in the maternal love of her best friend, a woman. known to us only as “the nurse”. It is the latter's friendship that seems to best define the young protagonist. Because with her parents, Juliet is nothing more or less than a respectful and obedient daughter, and this we learn about her almost immediately after meeting her: "I will seem to like her, if I move with sympathy, But no deeper will I put an end to my ." eyeThat your consent gives her the strength to make it fly."

In the face of Romeo's exile she remains steadfastly faithful and her parents' lack of compassion only makes her stronger. Her isolation forces her to think for herself as she has never had to do first, which has both positive and negative consequences. The fact that many of her decisions seem foolish or poorly planned to us is almost irrelevant in shaping our new respect for this girl ready to die before cheating on her husband. Shakespeare touchingly removes Juliet from all his relationships one by one in the last scene of the third scene until Juliet is left alone. This desperate determination to do whatever it takes to be a good wife to Romeo is repeated in her final suicidal moments later in the play..
