How does Shakespeare present the development of Juliet's character for Act 1, Scene 3, to Act 3, Scene 5 in Romeo and Juliet?

Even in the
very first scene in which we meet , Act 1, Scene 3, she
shows a bit of a rebellious streak. It is evident that, as expected
by society, she wants to please her parents, but she is also a budding woman who
is learning her own mind and places more value on her own desires than anything
her parents wish. Therefore, it is not really any surprise when we see Juliet
rebelling against her parents in Act 3, Scene 5, after she has married . The main
difference we see is that in Act 3, she is a bit more forceful about her opinion. It seems that
the combination of defying her parents through her secret marriage and the tribulations she has
undergone over the past 24 hours have matured her into a woman who can find her
own voice. Not only that, desperation to prevent sin and remain faithful to her
husband also drive her to find her own voice.

Juliet's
rebellious streak is especially evident in Act 3, Scene 1 whentries to persuade
Juliet to consider marrying . When Lady Capulet asks her, "[C]an you like of Paris'
love?," Juliet's only reply is that she'll "look to like, if looking liking
move," meaning that, as her mother suggests, she'll take note of Paris at the ball to see
what she thinks of him (I.iii.100-01). However, hidden rebellion can be seen in her next two
lines: "But no more deep will I endart mine eye / Than your consent gives strength to make
it fly," meaning that since Lady Capulet is only telling her to see if she can like him,
whether or not she can like him is all she will consider that night at the ball (102-03). While
it is clear here that Juliet is not fully agreeing with her mother, it is also
clear that she is trying very hard to please her, just as was
expected of children in this era.

However, all desires to
please become lost in Juliet's more eminent needs in Act 3, Scene 5. In this
scene she is no longer playing the role of the obedient daughter;
she has found her own voice as a woman. She refuses to consent to
her parents' sudden demand that she marry Paris. Part of her ability to refuse her parents stems
from the fact that her rebellious nature has already matured through the fact that she went
behind their backs and married a man in secret. However, the grief she has suffered due to 's
death and Romeo's banishment has also matured her from a girl into more of a woman. Finally, the
most powerful reason behind Juliet refusing her parents is due to the fact she realizes marrying
Paris would be a sin. As a girl brought up in the Catholic Church, Juliet well knows that
polygamy would be considered a sin under the Catholic Church. Therefore, Juliet's strong
rebellion in this scene is not just based on her preference not to marry Paris, but rather on
her religious convictions. We especially see Juliet express her religious convictions in the
line, "My husband is on earth, my faith in heaven," showing us that it is her
convictions of faith that have also helped her develop into a mature woman with her own
voice.
