Character Inference Chart: Acts I and II Character: Describe briefly Nurse Evidence and Explanation: Quote and Act/Scene/Line #s “Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days.” II.iii.114 Evidence and Explanation: Quote and Act/Scene/Line #s Evidence and Explanation: Quote and Act/Scene/Line #s Inference: What can we tell about the character from this evidence? Shakespeare seems to be using the Nurse as an element of comic relief. She’s saying, “Go find yourself a husband and make yourself happy (at night).” Romeo “When and where and how we met, we wooed, and made exchange of vow, I’ll tell thee as we pass, but this I pray, that thou consent to marry us today.” II.iii.65-69 Romeo’s saying, “I’ll tell you later about how we met and all that. I just want to know if you’ll marry us today.” Juliet Romeo is very hasty. He acts without thinking about the long-term consequences of his actions.

Help me out. Benvolio was telling the Montagues about trying to stop the fight. Benvolio is telling Mercutio to chill out – that Romeo will answer the letter from Tybalt. “What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds? Turn thee, Benvolio; look upon thy death.” I.i.67-68 “Now, by the stock and honor of my kin, to strike him dead, I hold it not a sin.” I.v.66-67 I won’t help you stop the fight. I’d rather fight with you. I’ll kill Romeo for the honor of my family, and I won’t feel bad about it. (Romeo’s friend) Tybalt Friar Lawrence “Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.” II.iii.101 Take it easy. Don’t rush into things.
