How would you describe Juliet's personality?

Character Analysis Juliet Juliet is presented as quiet and obedient; however, she possesses an inner strength that enables her to have maturity beyond her years. When her mother suggests that she marry Paris because Paris is rich and good looking, Juliet responds: “I’ll look to like, if looking liking move” (I. 3.97).

What Juliet thinks about herself?

A fortnight shy of fourteen, she is an obedient child, but reveals herself to be passionate and willing to betray all that she has been brought up to when she falls in love with Romeo. Though she can play Petrarchan word-games as well as Romeo, she has little patience for them once she has completely fallen for him.
