I agree that Juliette does not start out liking the thought of being a hexenbiest, but I'm not sure what she's feeling later. Remember, Nick initially did not want Juliette to take part in "let's reverse Adalind's spell"-thing. Juliette insisted, and she had the same information as everyone else. It is irrational that she should blame the gang for becoming a Hexenbiest. But her actions nevertheless suggest she did – and at the same time she claimed she liked to be a Hexenbiest. She appeared crazy. It is no wonder there is disagreement about her motives and thoughts.
I do not agree that Adalind was as evil as Juliette. There was always a motive behind Adalind's actions, and we know she was influenced by her mother, Renard, or the royal family. It was the surroundings that shaped her. She changed when Nick began to show her care. Most of the characters in Grimm killed someone from time to time. What made Juliette evil in this context was that she betrayed her friends and inflicted more harm on Nick than all his enemies together. In a few episodes, she burned down the trailer, tried to kill Nicks unborn son, almost got Nick to shoot Monroe and helped the royals behead Nick's mother.
The reason for all of this was of course that the writers wanted to pave the way for the Nick-Adalind relationship. Partly by killing of Juliette, and partly by getting Adalind to appear less bad compared to Juliette. What Juliette felt, or if she acted out of her own free will, was not important enough to clarify. As a result, we have these discussions ...
