What is Juliet saying? What can we tell about her from this?

Hist! Romeo, hist! O for a falc'ner's voice To lure this tassel gentle back again! (II, ii, 171)

She views Romeo as a falconer-a person who trains falcons-who will "train" her; this shows that she is submissive to male authority.

Like Mercutio, she views Romeo as beastly-he must be "trained"; this shows that she is maternal and treats Romeo like a child.

She is calling Romeo like a falconer; this shows that she is assertive-which is not considered an ideal trait in a woman in Juliet's day.

She is telling Romeo to be quiet by repeating "hist"; this shows that she is caring but perhaps a little too controlling.

    Juliet is comparing Romeo to a bird and her a bird handler to better explain her feeling. She is comparing Romeo's leave to that of a Falcon flying away, and herself, a Falconer, wanting to call him back to her.
