Juliet is a very conflicted character, bound by family, and lost in love. Juliet needs to be pensive and nearly breathless when she thinks of Romeo, downright helpless when her father tries to force her to marry Paris, and considerably sound minded when she decides to kill herself. The biggest thing I can tell you is to ham it up. Shakespeare's plays were passionate and emotional, and nobody enjoys a cardboard Juliet. Also, the line "Wherefore art thou Romeo;" it means "WHY are you Romeo," not "Where are you Romeo!" That bugs me most of all; that most people don't know that. That is one of her most important lines, and most people do not even know what it means! She says that, because Romeo is a Montague, and she belongs to the family of their sworn enemies. That is why she moves on to say "Deny thy father and refuse thy name."

So remember, lost in love, resolute, ham it up, and "WHY are you Romeo."
