Why does Shakespeare construct Juliet`s lines so that she never directly lies?

I've read Romeo and Juliet many times, and I can't agree with your question as to "Why does Shakespeare construct Juliet's lines so that she never directly lies" There are several times where she led others to believe something other than the truth-- she led her father to believe she was going to the confessional for her rebellion, when she was truly going to marry Romeo.  She also finally acts as though she has succumbed to her father and will marry Paris. 
That being said: I said "led on to believe" which is our day and age is considered lying/dishonesty.  However when Shakespeare wrote this in 1597, things were much different than the are today.  <span></span><span>Why does Shakespeare construct Juliet`s lines so that she never directly lies? A potienal </span><span>answer could be: <span><em>Shakespeare wanted the character of Juliet to remain innocently caught up in between the</em><em> </em><em>fued of </em>the </span></span><em>Montague and </em><span><em>Capulet</em></span><em>.  If she had </em><em>out right</em><em> lied, her fragile, innocent </em><em>perseption</em><em> could be seen more as deception and connivery. </em>

b. a time log.

Explanation:

<u>A time log, as the name suggests, is basically a record of activities performed by someone and the amount of time spent doing each activity. In this particular example, it also provides columns for location and others involved. Time logs are mostly structured as spreadsheets that help you visualize where your time is being invested.</u>

Compare the characters of Hedda Gabler and Daisy Miller: A Study. Both are the inventions of realist writers, but which is more
Dennis_Churaev [7]

In my view Hedda Gabbler is the most morally ambiguous between the two. Allow me to compare the two characters in order to clarify my views. Hedda Gabbler is an older Norwegian housewife of upper-*Middle class who chose to marry because she was starting to grow older. Her motivations are not always clear and sometimes it seems as though she suffers some kind of mental illness. Also, the etymology of her name is quite revelatory, her name comes from " the Germanic name Hadewig, derived from the Germanic elements hadu "battle, combat" and wig "war" (https://www.behindthename.com/name/hedwig). Hedda is obviously in conflict with the patriarchal society of her time and she aims to not only be in command of her own destiny but also to control her husband. She kills herself in order to deny the power of a man over her. Even in her death she is defiant. Daisy Miller on the other hand is a very young adult and rich American who loves Europe and its ways. She is naive and innocent and her behavior is not as vindictive as the behavior of Hedda Gabbler. Daisy is in opposition to the conservative and patriarchal views of society more because of her exposition ot European cultures and less due to a conscious realization of her condition. Her name is the name of a flower and her death is also symbolic as she dies from malaria. Flowers die during winter and Daisy's winter is the disease that kills her. She is more a victim than a proto-feminist.

How does the lack of information available about Shakespeare influence people’s opinions about his authorship?
olganol [36]

The lack of information about Shakespeare presents questions of credibility and reliability. People may believe that Shakespeare was a front to hide the identity of the real author/authors, and that Shakespeare did not write plays credited to him rather than another discredited author.
