One of Juliets most famous soliloquies in the play Romeo and Juliet is spoken while she is waiting for her love to make her his own. Her passionate and restless musings intensify and embolden her character further, as Juliet exposes her various faces. Youth and vulnerability are two qualities which Juliets every word portrays, and never so clearly as in this soliloquy. ... Yet, in her innocence she displays a subtle maturity, for Juliet is, despite her physical youth, amazingly grown up while dealing with herself. ... "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds," she orders, for Juliet is always in control; she commands nature, her life, her decisions, even fate. ... Not quite a woman yet, she feels awkward and finds it is not appropriate for someone her age to feel such passion burn within her. ... Juliet expresses her character as a mixture of a childlike naivety, woven in with bold and fiery passion for her lover.
