 * Nurse**

Nurse, what comes up in your mind when you think of a nurse? A nice person who tries to help you. However, in the play //Romeo and Juliet// the Nurse is one of the most important characters and also a betrayer. The Nurse is known as one of the most important character in the play because she caused Juliet’s death in some what ways. Most of the time in the play people call her “nurse” but her real name is Angelica. We can find out her name on Act 4, Scene 4 Lines 3-5, when Capulet had said, "Come, stir, stir, stir! the second cock hath crow'd, The curfew-bell hath rung, 'tis three o'clock: Look to the baked meats, good Angelica".

The Nurse is usually nice to the Capulets but not to the Montagues, but because of Juliet the Nurse tries her best to avoid being mean to the Montagues. The Nurse does not tell Capulet of Romeo and Juliet loving each other. Then Romeo and Juliet marries. Again the Nurse does not tell the Capulet or anyone and just watches them marry secretly. After Romeo and Juliet married Romeo had fought Tybalt. The prince after knowing that Romeo had killed Tybalt he made up his mind to kick Romeo out of the town. Due to Romeo being banished Juliet was extremely depressed but Juliet couldn’t do anything. The Nurse betrayed Juliet by telling Juliet to forget about Romeo which caused Juliet to think of killing herself or running away. However, Juliet had got a sleeping potion from the Friar in order to pretend she was dead. Romeo came because he thought she was dead and after seeing Juliet he killed himself.Juliet waking up from the potion he sees Romeo dead and she kills herself. These tragic death happened due to the Nurse telling her to marry Parris. If the Nurse helped Juliet feel better instead of betraying then these tragic deaths would not of happened.
