* The Nurse in ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' is an early subversion (or perhaps inversion). While she ''is'' Juliet's guardian and a concerned party in her romantic affairs, she's ''also'' a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who quite quickly becomes convinced (after meeting him) that Romeo is actually good husband material, and subsequently encourages Romeo and Juliet to be together. She's also a bawdy old woman who regales Juliet with tales of the sex jokes her late husband used to tell. It's possible she's supposed to be a ''parody'' of the more familiar "stern and overprotective" version of the stock character, and her unusual willingness to encourage her ward's romance (which, [[ForegoneConclusion of course]], doesn't end well) is part of the joke.

Her guardian would not allow this without a chaperone, so Prunella creates a kind of golem out of old clothes and illusions to give the impression that there is an older maidservant who will travel with them. There is no need for an actual chaperone, as Zacharias isn't a rapist (as is stated in an earlier scene when Prunella is alone with him, the thought would not even enter his mind), and Prunella is a practical-minded woman who wouldn't do anything that would damage her future.
