The word that best describes Juliet's relationship with her mother in "Romeo and Juliet" is distant. Their relationship lacks communication and understanding. Lady Capulet focuses more on social status and appearances, while Juliet seeks emotional connection and support elsewhere.
Juliet's mother describes Paris as an "unbound book" because he is waiting to be 'unlocked' or revealed, just like the pages of a book need to be opened to discover its contents. She believes that once Juliet gets to know Paris, she will see his true worth and find happiness in their relationship.
Juliet is close to her nurse because while her mother occupies herself with her duties with Lord Capulet, the nurse acts as Juliet's actual mother. In other words, the nurse is Juliet's caretaker. I can't believe I just did your homework for you.... ;)
Why don't you write about Juliet's relationship with the nurse. Does Juliet look on her as a mother? (Since Lady Capulet isn't much of a mother to her) As a friend? As a servant? If she sometimes treats the nurse one way and sometimes the other, why does she change? And which is predominant?
This is from the point of view of having played the role of Juliet. Juliet loves her mother in a dutiful daughter way, but they do not have a warm, close relationship. She respects her mother, and wants to live up to her mother's expectations, but finds she must rebel in order to keep the sanctity of her (secret) marriage to Romeo. Juliet's relationship with the nurse is much warmer. It is the nurse who breastfed Juliet (probably until she was three or so); it is the nurse who cares for Juliet when she is sick, who sits on her bed and holds her hand when Juliet is afraid, who helps her get dressed for parties, who listens to all her girlish chatter. The nurse is much more of what we, nowadays, would think of as a mother. However, the nurse is also foolish and fickle, and these characteristics cause Juliet to eventually turn from her nurse, and realize that she is truly alone in the world.

In all versions of Romeo and Juliet based on the Shakespeare play, Tybalt is Juliet's Mother's brother's son, which is to say that he is her cousin on her mother's side. Please take note, that he is not from the father's (Capulet's) side, so when he gets huffy about Romeo insulting the Capulets it is not even his own family he is talking about
The nurse told Juliet that her mother needed her. When Juliet left, Romeo asked "Who's her mother?". The nurse responded that Juliet's mother was Lady Capulet.
Juliet responds to her mother's request by honoring it. She pays attention to Paris at the party as her mother had requested.
In "Romeo and Juliet," the Nurse serves as a maternal figure to Juliet, providing guidance, support, and advice. Their relationship is characterized by affection, trust, and a deep bond formed through years of close companionship. The Nurse's loyalty to Juliet is evident as she plays a pivotal role in facilitating the secret romance between Juliet and Romeo.
Juliet's mother would like Romeo dead.
Juliet's mother wore a elegant red dress with gold accents at the party.
Tybalt is the son of the brother of Juliet's mother. That is to say, Tybalt's father and Juliet's mother were brother and sister. This means, of course, that Tybalt was not a Capulet, since it was Juliet's father and his brothers and sisters who were the Capulets.
