Over the course of Romeo and Juliet, her character grows in depth and strength. When we first meet Juliet she is perceived as shy and innocent, however as her character grows throughout the play she shows great signs of strength, bravery and independence through events such as defying her father, marrying whom she wants to marry leading ultimately to her own suicide. A great quote to use that shines a spotlight on her strength and resilience to her father and her Capulet family is; "My only love sprung from my only hate". 

We can see her character development which is portrayed through Juliet taking control of her own destiny, "If all else fail, myself have power to die", declining the thought and action of ever marrying Paris.

How is Juliet presented over the course of Romeo and Juliet ? Please can you add quotes as well

Hi tom,

One main theme that is portrayed throughout the text of 'Of Mice and Men' is dreams. This theme is introduced within the first part of the text through the hope of the two main characters, George and Lennie who long to own a farm of their own one day. This key theme is introduced from the start, yet is referenced throughout the text where the introduction of Candy, reinstalls this theme and helps to create a sense of the dream or even this idea of the American Dream, perhaps actually being achieved.

Other key themes may include loneliness or even friendship... try and see if you can find these themes throughout the text, including specific quotations which may help you analyse the text in depth!
