How far and in what way does Juliet grow more rebellious throughout the play?

This would be part of a longer essayJuliet progresses from a fairly timid and passive character to one who grows out of her obedience into pure rebellion, increasing proportionally with her newfound love for Romeo, as she rapidly matures from Act 1: Scene 3, to Act 2: Scene 2. This can be seen as she now begins to more blatantly contemplate defying her family, saying how “I’ll no longer be a Capulet”. Her internal defiant beliefs culminate throughout the scene, shown through her interactions with Romeo, as she calls him “the god of my idolatry”. In doing so, the extent of their mutual love is emphasised, acting as a continuation from Act 1: Scene 5, where they describe each other by using similar religious terminology, such as “pilgrim” and “holy shrine”, though now their love is greater than ever, with Romeo being described as if he is the centre of her worship. Whilst this furthers the idea of the lovers being devoted to each other in a pure, spiritual love, the metaphor can also be seen as blasphemous, defying social norms during a heavily Christian time period and so acting as a form of defiance against this well-believed in higher power which was said to control their fate, which is consistently hindering the two lovers’ doomed relationship, as mentioned in the Prologue when they are referred to a “star-crossed lovers”. This insubordination would have most likely not been accepted by the Elizabethan society, as not only is Juliet rebelling against her family by declaring her absolute love for Romeo, despite having already have agreed to consider Paris as a possible husband earlier in Act 1: Scene 3, she is also rebelling against the supreme being, showing how this love for Romeo has driven her to dangerous extremes, by disregarding the important social priorities of society in general and those of the higher aristocratic class. However, rather than acknowledging and giving in to such expectations, she encourages this forbidden love in a further act of rebellion. This is shown as the scene progresses, as she becomes the driving force for her relationship with Romeo, interrupting his poetic courtship to tell him to “swear not by the moon”, hence urging Romeo to more away from the Petrarchan lover approach shown with Rosaline, to a more spiritual one, as Romeo's language becomes less poetic and more upfront. The particular reference to the moon shows how Juliet understands how fate is against their relationship, with celestial bodies perceived as being in charge of one’s fate in the Elizabethan era, again showing how she is trying to defy fate itself. As their relationship progresses, due to the feud and lack of understanding from the majority of the older generation, so too does Juliet’s distance from her family.
