Does Juliet from 'Romeo and Juliet' have a nurse?
The answer is both, Yes and No. The term 'Nurse' that Shakespeare uses in Romeo and Juliet, does NOT refer to what we, in modern times, call a Nurse (as in a Medical Nurse). Another meaning of 'Nurse' is a Lady in Waiting (a Valet for a woman) or more simply put, a Woman's Personal Servant/Maid. Typically speaking ALL, and usually ONLY, wealthy women had a 'Nurse' or 'Nurse-maid' at that time. But that is not the meaning of Nurse in Romeo and Juliet. This Nurse was Juliet's wet-nurse, which means that Juliet fed as a baby from the breasts of the Nurse rather than from her mother. The nurse remembers in Act 1 Scene 3 that it was eleven years since Juliet was weaned (stopped breastfeeding) because the Nurse put bitter wormwood on her nipple to make it taste bad to Juliet. She has continued as a servant since but is remembered as a Nurse and has a special relationship with Juliet.
In the story of Romeo and Juliet Is Juliet closer to her mom or nurse?
Her nurse is like a mother to her. Her mother is not close to her at all. We see this in Act One, where Lady Capulet sends the nurse away so she can talk to Juliet about marrying issues, then realizes in a panic that she and Juliet are like strangers, and calls the nurse back.

How does shakespeare introduce Juliet to audiences?
juliet is introduced to the audience when the nurse and her mother aske her opinion of marriage.Lady Capulet tries to rush juliet to marry as if she wants her gone.The nurse,however, is patient and quite close to juliet this is because the nurse had a daughter like juliet but she died and the nurse was there throughout juliets life she remembers all the memories.People would think mothers would want a bond between their children and them but not Lady Capulet.Lord Capulet and Lady Capulet are very different as when Paris had asked Lord Capulet permission to marry juliet lord capulet said that she was still young and immature he also says that she means the world to him for this reason he tells paris to wait two summers (2 years ) he also tells paris to woo her(make her fall in love with him).
