Later, the Nurse is overcome with grief at the death of Tybalt, she goes and fall, "He's dead, he's dead, he's dead! We are undone, lady, we are undone! Alack the day, he's gone, he's killed, he's dead!" The Nurse is the one to deliver the news of Romeo's banishment to Juliet in spite of Tybalt's murder coming from Romeo's hands, Juliet bids the Nurse to seek out Romeo for her at Friar Laurence's cell for one final night with him before he flees to Mantua. It is because of the Nurse's approval that Juliet ultimately decides to go through with marrying Romeo. The Nurse finds Romeo and soon after returns to Juliet with news of Romeo's continued affection. The Nurse is sent by Juliet in act two, scene four to seek out Romeo the night after their first kiss and exchange of vows. The Nurse delivering her "Yet I cannot choose but laugh" line in Act I scene III in an 1847 drawing Juliet is considered by many, historians and fans alike, to be her surrogate daughter in many respects because she raised Juliet in Lady Capulet's absence. Her personal history outside of the Capulet estate is unknown, other than that she once had a husband and a daughter, both of whom are deceased. She is one of the few people, along with Friar Laurence, to be made aware of the blossoming romance between Romeo and Juliet. As the primary person to like, she is therefore Juliet's foremost confidante. She had a daughter named Susan who died in infancy, and then became wetnurse to Juliet.

She is the personal servant, guardian (and former wet nurse) of Juliet Capulet, and has been since Juliet was born.

The Nurse is a major character in William Shakespeare's classic drama Romeo and Juliet. Everyone else, leave this place right now, or I will have you killed.A 1797 interpretation of Juliet and her Nurse Montague, you come this afternoon to old Free-town, where I deliver my judgments. Capulet, you come with me in order to hear what else I want from you. If any of you Capulets or Montagues disturb the peace in the future, you will pay for it with your lives. These battles have forced even Verona’s elderly citizens to take off their dignified clothes and jewelry and instead pick up old and rusty spears in order to put an end to your fighting. Because of nothing more than a casual word from you, Capulet and Montague, three battles have raged in our city’s streets. I will torture you unless you drop your weapons from your bloody hands and listen to me, your enraged Prince. Silence! You men, you beasts, who can only put out the fire of your anger by spilling fountains of blood. You rebels and enemies of the peace, who curse your own weapons by turning them on your neighbors.
