Hi, I am the Nurse of Juliet Capulet!I stand at a height of 150cm and weigh a total of 76kg. I am currently forty-nine years old. I look fat and short, thus, people often call me a strange-looking person.I love to eat Italian Prosciutto(Ham) Panini and drink red wine. However, i don't really get to drink red wine in the Capulet's house. Hence I always sneaked out of the house to buy Italian Chianti. The bottle of red wine is so expensive but don't forget the Capulets are
RICH!
We live in Verona in Venice. In the house of the Capulet family, there is Lord Capulet, Lady Capulet, Juliet, Tybalt, Peter, Sampson and Gregory.
Lord Capulet likes to eat roasted turkey and risotto, a dish whose ingredients vary by location, with fish and seafood being added closer to the coast and pumpkin, asparagus, radicchio and frogs' legs appearing further away from the Adriatic.I always have to spend around 2 hours preparing that Italian dish.He loves to watch television. He is a couch-potato and I guess that results him being quite plump. He has 'green fingers'(means loves gardening) too. He tends to his garden everyday. He named his garden :
" Capulet's Giardino ". He grows flowers like Bougainvillea, Glacial Buttercup. He sometimes interfering, commanding but sometimes he is a caring and courteous man. He cares about her daughter very much.
Lady Capulet looks like a young woman and she gave birth to Juliet at only 20! Lord Capulet obviously is much older than her. Like many other mother of teenagers, Juliet and Lady Capulet have a troubled relationship.She is an ineffectual mother, relying on me for moral and pragmatic support She loves reading books too. She have a room full of books and I always have to clean the books
ONE BY ONE ,it took me a week to finish everything! She loves to eat Cheese Fonduta. She usually dipped pieces of bread in the cheese fondue with mustard on it.As the taste is weird, I had once advised her not to add anything,she reprimanded me for at least 3 hours! She loves to doll herself up too. But the powder make-up is always too thick.
Juliet is the girl I take care of in the family. She was the prettiest baby that I have ever nursed. If I can see her married, I'll be overjoyed. My daughter, Susan, is in Heaven and she was about the same age as Juliet. I'm Juliet's confidante too.Thus, I see Juliet like my own daughter.She was a docile and dutiful child to Lord and Lady Capulet.She loves to eat Pizza Napoletana which have tomato, mozzarella and anchovies on it.She also loves to drink Minestrone soup. I love it too! I prepared the lovely soup twice a week. Thus, I see Juliet like my own daughter.
As for Tybalt, he is always ready for a fight, he's an excellent swordsman. One of the best I have ever seen. He also practices his sword fighting everyday. However, he would always want to kill the Montague household. He hates to eat Baccalà alla vicentina, a dish made from baccalà, dried unsalted cod. I love it too and I cook it on every Friday. He do not eat in the Capulet's house on Friday because he knew there will be that wonderful fish dish.He likes to eat food that are spicy like Italian Spicy Chicken with eggplant. He always add Tabasco sauce to it. I guess that what makes him hot-tempered.He loves to drink liquors like Galliano. He always comes home having the reek of liquor and the smell of tobacco.
Peter is my personal servant and he is a rude boy! He does not stop the person who insults me. I don't blame him because he was illiterate but fortunately he was a loyal servant. He do things the Capulet's asked him to do.
Sampson and Gregory were also the servant of the Capulet's family. They were always trying to pick a fight with the Montagues. Gregory is one who always hesitant to start a fight however Sampson is one wh actively wanted to start a fight. Both of them always follow Tybalt.
Thats all I wanted to SAY!

Prologue
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 7:46 PM
Two households, both alike in dignity,In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,From ancientgrudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.From forth the fatalloins of these two foes.
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;Whole misadventured piteousoverthrows.
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love.
And the continuance of their parents' rage,Which, but their children's end, noughtcould remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;The which if you with patient earsattend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.Adapted from http://shakespeare.mit.edu/romeo_juliet/romeo_juliet.1.0.html
