Lady Capulet and the Nurse foil                   (with Juliet) 
 
Shakespeare presents Lady  Capulet as distant and cold to Juliet however the Nurse has a 
tender and motherly relationship
...
 However 
when Juliet speaks with her mother, she seems formal and obedient ‘ Madam, I am here, 
what is your will’
...
 There is a strong 
contrast between the Nurse and Lady Capulet’s attitudes to Juliet as the Nurse encourages 
her to make her own decisions whereas her mother influences her into agreeing to enter into 
an arranged marriage
...
 
 
In Capulet's extreme bouts of temper when Juliet refuses to marry Paris Lady capulet 
remains unmoved by her daughter's cries for help and the the Nurse is the person that 
stands up for her
...
 It is only after Juliet’s death that we see the 
love that her mother has for her “O me, O me, my child, my only life!”
