Introduction and Context
Scene Summary and Context Guide: Juliet Capulet, a young girl of nearly 14, is caught between her loyalty to her family and her deep love for Romeo. The play is set in Verona, a city rife with social tensions, including issues of class, honour, and gender roles. Juliet’s protests against her arranged marriage to Paris reflect her desire for personal freedom and autonomy, which contrast with the expectations placed upon her by her family and society. Her secret marriage to Romeo challenges the social norms and highlights themes of individual desire versus societal duty. Juliet’s character embodies innocence, youth, and the conflict between personal choice and social obligation. Her decisions are influenced by her love, but also bring her into conflict with social expectations, exposing underlying social issues such as gender constraints and familial authority.
