Nurse

The nurse has been taking care of Juliet Capulet since she was a tiny baby. She is incredibly invested in her young charge, who she nursed as an infant and continues to care for with every fiber of her being. The Nurse is talkative and opinionated, and often a little bit overbearing - she cares so deeply about Juliet that her feelings tend to run away with her. The nurse cares little for propriety and will be as nosy as she needs to be to feel that she is caring fully for her charge. She is a warm and incredibly expressive woman, whose emotions are as volatile as those of her young adolescent -- whatever she thinks is right for Juliet is the only right. She goes to great lengths, compromising propriety and risking her position, for the sake of Juliet’s happiness. Has a bawdy streak.
