Romeo and Juliet has already introduced very innovative and interesting characters. They all have very pronounced personalities which I think really enhances the text. A huge problem I've come across in books are lifeless characters; it makes me feel like the story isn't genuine. A key element to a truly notable book is interesting characters. Shakespere has already shown that.
I think a very noteworthy character in Romeo and Juliet is Juliet. Juliet is very wise for her age. Her sense of self-control and sensibility is very charasmatic. She seems to know what she wants very clearly, without panicking. For example, when Lady Capulet suggests that Juliet gets to know/marry Paris, she simply tells her that she will try to but only for Lady Capulet, and anything further she'll do as she wishes. Juliet presents a sense of peace with every word.
I also see a little controversy to Juliet. I feel that under all of her wisdom and tranquility lies a very fiery and wild personality deep inside. I feel that her love for Romeo will spark a new aspect to her persona. I'm interested to see how it all unfolds!
