William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet

Charlotte 

Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike. 

O, teach me how I should forget to think! 

Tut, I have left myself. I am not here. This is not Romeo, he's some other where.

Juliet is written as a very smart, active character. She decides to get married, she resolves to take the sleeping potion, she really drives the piece.

He speaks them as if they really are his words, and that's something you don't always get in a Shakepearean performance.
