      hello if you are really stuck which could come up
      here are some characters which could come up
      The Nurse
      -More like a mother to Juliet than Lady Capulet.​
      She tells Juliet that Romeo is “a Montague” but doesn’t put her off him.​
      Arranges the marriage with Romeo.​
      Tells Juliet to marry Paris when there seems no choice.​
      Genuinely upset when she finds Juliet’s “dead” body.​
      Friar Lawrence
      -Father figure to Romeo, giving advice.​
      Marries Romeo and Juliet.​
      Knows exactly what is happening but can’t stop it.​
      Good with herbs and gives Juliet the poison.​
      Runs away from Juliet in the tomb at the end.​

      Lord Capulet
      -Keen to get involved in the fight in Act 1 Scene 1.​
      Protective of marrying Juliet to the right person.​
      Loses his temper with Tybalt at the Ball.​
      Loses his temper with Juliet when she says “no” to him over Paris.​
      Makes the first move to reconcile with Lord Montague at the end.​

      ​some themes
      Family​
      -The feud between the Montagues and Capulets causes a lot of tension and trouble.​
      Romeo has more freedom than Juliet.​
      Juliet is torn between her happiness and her family duty.​
      Juliet ultimately chooses her husband over her family.​
      Romeo says he will give up his name for her (is he just saying that?)​
      Loyalty
      -The servants start a fight even though it’s nothing to do with them.​
      Benvolio wants to find out why Romeo is sad.​
      Tybalt defends his family against Romeo gatecrashing the Ball.​
      Mercutio sticks up for Romeo against Tybalt.​
      Juliet defends Romeo in front of the Nurse after Tybalt dies.​
      Destiny / Fate​
      -The Prologue tells us that Romeo & Juliet are doomed to die.​
      Lots of references to graves and death - we never forget what’s coming.​
      Something bad happens straight after something good.​
      Everything Friar Lawrence tries backfires - they can’t escape what’s coming.​
      Romeo blames fate for what’s happened (not himself).​
      ​sorry about this long comment
      but hope it helps
