hello if you are really stuck which could come up here are some characters which could come up The Nurse -More like a mother to Juliet than Lady Capulet.​ She tells Juliet that Romeo is “a Montague” but doesn’t put her off him.​ Arranges the marriage with Romeo.​ Tells Juliet to marry Paris when there seems no choice.​ Genuinely upset when she finds Juliet’s “dead” body.​ Friar Lawrence -Father figure to Romeo, giving advice.​ Marries Romeo and Juliet.​ Knows exactly what is happening but can’t stop it.​ Good with herbs and gives Juliet the poison.​ Runs away from Juliet in the tomb at the end.​ ​ Lord Capulet -Keen to get involved in the fight in Act 1 Scene 1.​ Protective of marrying Juliet to the right person.​ Loses his temper with Tybalt at the Ball.​ Loses his temper with Juliet when she says “no” to him over Paris.​ Makes the first move to reconcile with Lord Montague at the end.​ ​ ​some themes Family​ -The feud between the Montagues and Capulets causes a lot of tension and trouble.​ Romeo has more freedom than Juliet.​ Juliet is torn between her happiness and her family duty.​ Juliet ultimately chooses her husband over her family.​ Romeo says he will give up his name for her (is he just saying that?)​ Loyalty -The servants start a fight even though it’s nothing to do with them.​ Benvolio wants to find out why Romeo is sad.​ Tybalt defends his family against Romeo gatecrashing the Ball.​ Mercutio sticks up for Romeo against Tybalt.​ Juliet defends Romeo in front of the Nurse after Tybalt dies.​ Destiny / Fate​ -The Prologue tells us that Romeo & Juliet are doomed to die.​ Lots of references to graves and death - we never forget what’s coming.​ Something bad happens straight after something good.​ Everything Friar Lawrence tries backfires - they can’t escape what’s coming.​ Romeo blames fate for what’s happened (not himself).​ ​sorry about this long comment but hope it helps
