The Nurse
Nurse is presented as mother figure for Juliet
'What lamb!'
Informal juxtaposes with Juliet's mother
If ye should lead her in a fool's parade ... it were a very gross kind of behaviour'
Cares for Juliet's future more than parents who just want her married
Nurse is presented as a typical Veronese woman
'he that can lay hold of her shall have the chinks'
'Peace you mumbling fool'
Disrespected by Capulet as she is only a woman
Stereotype of male dominance and acceptance of marriage for money and status
She does not understand R&J's love
Speaks in prose
Lower class than R&J
'Romeo's a dishclout to him'
Believes love is only about physical appearance
She is comically mocked by others
'I'll take him down ... and twenty such jacks'
Unwittingly calls herself a prostitute
Comic irony contrasts with tragic irony at end of play
