Juliet
Juliet Capulet (in Italian Giulietta Capuleti) is one of the main characters in William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet, the other being Romeo Montague. The story has a long history that follows Shakespeare himself. The girl hero's prosperous family lived in Verona, headed by Lord and Lady Capulet. She is their youngest child. She apparently had older siblings at some point, but by the time of the play, she was their only survivor. Juliet is the sole heir to the Capulets. As a child, she was cared for by her nurse, who is now her confidante, or Juliet's caretaker. As the story occurs, Juliet is approaching her fourteenth birthday (her sixteenth in Arthur Brooke's poem). She was born on "Lammas Eve at night" (August 1), so Juliet's birthday is July 31 (1.3.19). Her birthday is "a fortnight hence", putting the action of the play in mid-July (1.3.17).
