the nurse is a dramatic foil for Juliet for several reasons:

  • the nurse is old while Juliet is young
  • the nurse is simple while Juliet is complex
  • the nurse is practical while Juliet is romantic
  • the nurse has been married and had a child while Juliet is still young and innocent

these things make these 2 characters dramatic foils
