It appears that more people have influenced Juliet in this play than have influence Romeo. If it wasn’t for these influencers, the story most likely would have ended in a much different way. For example, Capulet probably had the most influence on the way the ending of the play began. He told Juliet that she was being selfish for not wanting to marry Paris because the marriage was arranged to cheer her up after the death of her cousin Tybalt (whose death was also an important factor in Juliet’s journey).

She still did not want to marry Paris, so he helped her by giving her a poison that made her appear to be dead so she would not have to attend the marriage
