Lady Capulet eventually cannot talk her daughter alone. When she is going to tell Juliet about Paris she tell the nurse to go out, then call back again because she feels unfamiliar to speak to Juliet, in Act 1 scene 3:
Lady Capulet
This is the matter. Nurse, give leave a while,
We must talk in secret. Nurse, come back again,
I have remember’d me, thou s’ hear our counsel.
Thou knowest my daughter’s of a pretty age.
In 16th century most of the upper class usually had the nurse to take care everything for their children. The children even drank from the nurse’s breast, not the mother’s. This is not unusual at that time, so Juliet was not distressed with it otherwise it was not mentioned in the play. However, Lady Capulet still play the important role that effect to Juliet. Lady Capulet becomes a mother at about Juliet’s age. (14 years old) She think that at this age Juliet is ready to get marriage and become a wife. Juliet is obedient. She even promises to consider and try to like Paris, before she have met Romeo. Juliet actually grows up with the care from the nurse. The nurse is the one who know all the details about Juliet. They trust each other and they are bonded together with a strong relationship. The nurse is the only one in Capulet that knows about Romeo and Juliet from the beginning. Juliet tells the nurse everything. She is like mother and the adviser for Juliet. To make Juliet happy is what the nurse
desires. However, thought the relation between the nurse and Juliet seems so strong from the beginning, but toward the end of the play it becomes weaker. After Romeo was banished from Verona, Juliet is forced by her parents to get marriage with Paris. She cannot get marriage again, since she got marriage with Romeo already. Juliet goes to the nurse, but the nurse suggests Juliet to get marriage with Paris. This is not the suggestion that Juliet expects to hear, especially from the nurse. Juliet realises that the nurse will not help her, so she goes to ask for help from Friar Lawrence instead. This time, Juliet does not trust the nurse so much like before. That is why she does not tell the nurse that she got the potion from Friar Lawrence that can make her seems dead to escape the marriage. At last, the play ends with tragedy, not only for Romeo and Juliet, but for everyone. It also have shown that the relation between the parents (this means to both Lady Capulet and the nurse) and their children is so important. Parents always play an important role that can affect their children in every aspect.
