How many females in Romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

There are either four or five "named" female characters, depending on your perspective. The definite ones are Juliet, of course, Lady Capulet, Lady Montague, and the Nurse. The one that's "iffy" is Rosaline, who plays a significant role in early dialogue but never actually appears in any of the scenes.

Answer 2

Depends what you consider to be a main character. Basically there are two: Romeo and Juliet. Those are the starring roles. Everyone else is support.

You could make an argument that "main character" means "essential character" in which case you would have to add another four at least: Friar Lawrence, Tybalt, Mercutio and Capulet.

Answer 3

There are four women in the cast: Juliet, the Nurse, Juliet's mother and Romeo's mother.

Answer 4

In William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," there are three prominent female characters: Juliet, Lady Capulet (Juliet's mother), and the Nurse (Juliet's caretaker).
