Woodrow T. Wilson said, “Loyalty means nothing unless it has, at its heart, the absolute principle of self-sacrifice”. This helps to describe that loyalty involves self-Sacrifice. The Nurse would rather forget the loyalty she has for Juliet and instead tries to convince Juliet to forget about Romeo. The Nurse advises her to marry Paris and forget about her husband, Romeo. Although the nurse tried convincing Juliet to marry Paris, she also could’ve prevented some deaths by remaining loyal. Loyalty, at the same time, can also be destructive.

The character who is the most to blame for in this star-crossed situation that lead to both Romeo and Juliet's death; was no other than the rich Capulet. Capulet who is the father of Juliet, was the most to blame, due to his strong belief in loyalty, his unsentimental characteristic he acquired from his high status, and even just to show his dominance over the other family...the Montague's. These traits are found all over the story and in my belief is what pushed his relationship with his daughter away.

She also affected the tragic ending because she did not intervene when Juliet was to marry Paris. Because of the fight between the Capulets and the Montagues,
In Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo & Juliet’, the 13-year-old protagonist is faced with the tempting idea of forbidden love. The true factor, which inevitably leads to Juliet’s demise, was her lack of experience in love, life, and marriage. Juliet’s lack in experience was what brought her to meet her end.

In spite of how the families hated each other, the advisors are the only two that believed in Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other.
The relationships in Romeo and Juliet constantly change throughout the play at first they are good but as the play goes on and stress in the characters build their relationships break down.
