The female protagonist of Shakespeare’s cautionary tale about family feuds and fatal romance, 13-year-old Juliet Capulet struggles to define herself outside her family name and in the end, seizes her destiny by ending her life when faced with Romeo’s death and the loss of her autonomy. A tragic character, she is immortalized in the Montblanc 145 Juliet, which depicts the play’s famous scene in which Romeo sneaks into the Capulets’ backyard and finds Juliet looking out of her balcony. Not knowing that the young man was close, Juliet sighs, “Ay, me!” and an enamored Romeo says, “She speaks! O, speak again, bright angel!” 

The pen’s ivory-colored barrel and cap is inspired by how Romeo sees Juliet, with the cap designed with feathers from an angel’s wings. The trims are gold-plated, with the piston knob etched with a ring of thorns symbolizing the hostility around the couple’s lives. The nib is made of Au 750 gold and is etched with a knife piercing a heart bearing Juliet’s name, representing the story’s tragic ending. 

We have for sale a brand new Montblanc 145 Doué Juliet with an M nib. It comes complete with its box, papers, and other inclusions.
