Rambling Nurse

Peace, you mumbling fool!
Utter you gravity o'er a gossip's bowl,
For here we need it not.
The Nurse is not able to keep her mouth shut during the entire story of Romeo and Juliet. She rambles on about nothing most the time, and cannot really give any sound advise. The reason for this is because she cannot make up her own mind. One minute she is telling Juliet what a wonderful man romeo is, and that she should stay with him as a good wife. Next, she is saying how great of an idea marrying Paris would be. This happens throughout the play, and she is also constantly putting in her "two cents" when no one asked "a penny for her thoughts." Unfortunately for Juliet, this is the motherly figure in her life, and is somewhat of a "scatter-brain."

I agree with leto. The Nurse is there for Juliet and listens. Maybe she talk a lot, but at least she helps Juliet.
