Shakespeare's use of blank verse for the Nurse in "Romeo and Juliet" serves to highlight her role as a character who bridges the gap between the higher status of the Montagues and Capulets and the everyday concerns of the common people. By giving her blank verse, he allows her to express both emotional depth and a certain level of sophistication, reflecting her importance in Juliet's life. Furthermore, her speech contrasts with the more formal language of the noble characters, emphasizing the social dynamics at play in the story.
