Lady Capulet believes that "I would the fool were married to her grave!" In other words, Lady Capulet thinks that Juliet is foolish for not wanting to marry Paris. Lord Capulet, when he learns of Juliet's rejection of Paris' marriage, is furious, saying that "you shall not house with me." Capulet also ridicules Juliet saying that she is "proud" and "not proud" (aka pleased and not pleased) about her parents' sentiment to her being married. All the while, the nurse is a chaotic presence; in earlier Acts she supports Romeo, but now, her view changes; she says that "I think it best you married with thee County... Romeo's a dishclout to him." All of these conflicting viewpoints cause chaos and panic for Juliet, and slight confusion for the reader.

Not only was the role of women in the middle-ages evident in the actions people took, the things people said, and the social customs in Romeo and Juliet, but the character growth also expresses this. As commonly known, Juliet's character starts out shy and obedient but slowly she grows more confident as she deepens her love for Romeo. Near the end of the story, however, Juliet's actions express a commitment to the social theme of woman during that time. When Juliet's father ridicules her for not wanting to marry Paris, he gives her an option to either obey, or be disowned. If she would have chosen the latter, she would have been free to run away with Romeo, yet she chooses to stay due to the bonds of social morals. This decision was a key moment in the story that eventually led to the demise of the star-crossed lovers. All of this because of social norms.

Shakespeare portrays the different levels of love in this story. At the beginning, Romeo thinks he loves Rosaline. However, we find out that it is a very shallow love.

(lines 97-100). When Romeo meets Juliet, though, his love is very deep for her. In act II scene II, he talks about Juliet: "But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!" He goes on to talk about Juliet with other words related to light, making her seem like the only thing that brightens his life. He loves her so much that when he finds out that she is "dead", he kills himself just to be with her: "Here's to my love! O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die."
