Earlier in the Act than the above referenced examples,
Juliet tells her parents 'No, thank you,' in reference to marrying Paris. It would take
a considerable strength and confidence to have said no to parents in that culture. Not
only did she say no to her mom to tell her dad, she continued to tell her dad no, and
then asked her mom again to tell her dad to at least delay the
marriage.
Juliet stood her ground with them. When the Nurse
then bailed on Juliet, she still remained on target with her purpose, to stay with Romeo
and not marry Paris.
