RATINGS: Sites are rated from 1 owl (good) to a high of 5 owls. Read more- Romeo & Juliet: Juliet
A brief essay on this Towson University webpage focuses on Juliet — her relationships with the Nurse, her parents, and Romeo, and her burgeoning independence. The page's casual approach to the text makes it far more approachable than more academic pieces on William Shakespeare's most famous leading lady.
- Shakespeare's Unruly Women
The Folger Institute maintains this webpage dedicated to the presentation of Shakespeare's heroines during the reign of Queen Victoria. Beautiful illustrations accompany the text, which argues that Juliet, among others, received an idealized interpretation because there was a woman on the throne of England.
- Love, Marriage, Romance, and Women in Medieval and Celtic Culture
Scroll down through this webpage to find several essays that address issues that have surrounded the institution of marriage over the centuries. Of special importance to readers of Romeo and Juliet are the sections entitled "Marriage in the Middle Ages" and "Love and Marriage." These historical perspectives show how bold Juliet was to defy the wishes of her family.
- Images of Adolescence
Romeo and Juliet: Were they truly in love or were they just a couple of hot-headed, irresponsible teenagers? This is just one question that this scholarly article attempts to answer as it explores the representations of adolescence in English literature from the Middle Ages to the modern era. More than just characters in a play, Romeo and Juliet fit into an evolving literary category.
- Youth and Marriage
Don't they seem a little young to be getting married? Don't worry, lots of people think this about Romeo and Juliet. In fact, Shakespeare's original audience may have said the same thing. Learn more about the age factor at this Canadian university's website.
