William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet

Charlotte 

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

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.

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

O, teach me how I should forget to think! 

Neither, fair maid, if either thee dislike.
