Nurse

The nurse is often blamed for the final tragedy in Romeo and Juliet. When she allows Romeo and Juliet to sleep together, knowing that Romeo has killed Tybalt, she is knowingly throwing any chance of Juliet's redemption away. A good question that is raised by these events: Why? The nurse is supposed to be the one making sure that Juliet remains pure, and instead she allows Juliet to fulfill her teenage fantasy and spend the night with Romeo. The answer is simple, the Nurse is a free spirited romantic at heart.

This picture depicts a Nurse that was played by a man. (The entire cast was male.) Looking at this picture, the Nurse is clearly laughing and enjoying the conversation she's having with Juliet. This represents how the Nurse should be played. Her concern for Juliet is strong, but once she sees the love she has for Romeo, and the love he has for her, the Nurse can do nothing but let them bask in their love.
