Romeo Passionate

Romeo is very dramatic and obsessed with love. In the beginning he is obsessed with being in love, it doesn't seem like he loves Rosaline, he just wants to be in love with someone. But by the end of the book I think he might actually love Juliet.

Romeo is portrayed as an emotional and reckless character. His friend Mercutio and Fr. Lawrence comment on Romeo’s fickle attitude when he immediately falls in love with Juliet completely forgetting about Rosaline, his first love. Romeo quotes,” Did my heart love until now? Foreswear it sight, for I never saw true beauty until this night”. His love for Rosaline was superficial. Juliet transforms Romeo’s immature and erotic infatuation to true and constant love. After meeting Juliet he matures very quickly. Maybe Romeo’s love for Juliet is so intense because unlike Rosaline, Juliet reciprocates his

Moreover, Romeo through his infatuation with Rosaline learned valuable lessons that help him come to appreciate and understand the feelings he experiences with Juliet. Romeo felt rejection, sorrow, and misery from his infatuation with Rosaline which is seen when he is talking to Benvolio, “In sadness, cousin, I do love a woman” this particular quote shows the sadness or sorrow he feels from the feelings for Rosaline (1.1.201). Also when he says “She hath forsworn to love”, the words Romeo speaks allow it to be inferred that his feelings for her have been rejected (1.1.220). “At the opening of the play [Romeo] is maundering about like an erotic woman novelist, sighing and groaning because Rosaline will not listen to his tenders of affection” revealing that Romeo’s love was rejected and was upset because of this, allowing him to learn these feelings and what it is like to be rejected by the one he had feelings for (Northwood 19). Due to having felt these emotions from his infatuation, when he finds his love for Juliet and receives love and acceptance from her. Since he went so long, feeling sorrow and rejection when he finally finds Juliet, he can fully appreciate the love and acceptance he is given which intensifies his love for her and does the opposite of weakening the credibility of his love. Through his infatuation with Rosaline, he was able to grow as a person and become able to fully commit to his love for Juliet.

5. From all the signs Romeo shows of what a Petrarchan Lover is, it is shown that he is upset about a woman named Rosaline because he’s crushing on her even though the feelings are not mutual. He does this by shutting himself in

At the beginning of the play, Romeo is infatuated with Rosaline. When Montague’s nephew, Benvolio, comes home from a fight with the Capulets’ servants, his aunt Lady Montague tells him about how her son Romeo, has been in a melancholic mood, walking alone in the gardens. Benvolio promises Lady Montague that he would find out what is troubling his cousin, Romeo. Not one who is interested in fighting, Romeo is preoccupied by what he thinks is love and begins to confide in Benvolio that he is madly in love

Romeo seems to be miserable as he is in love with Rosaline yet Rosaline is not in love with him. Once Romeo learns that the Capulet’s are holding a party at which Rosaline is attending he risks his life just to be with the one he loves. Romeo is passionate for love.

Romeo at the beginning of the play doesn't have the most level-headed understand of what real love is and as an example at the beginning of the play he has "fallen in love" with Rosaline and proclaimed that she is the perfect example of a women. Then later on completely forgets about her after seeing Juliet. This gives the reader the sense that Romeo is not very deep in his feelings for women and has a more superficial idea of what love is. Throughout the play though Shakespeare was able to convey how Romeo has matured in his attitude toward love from a shallow desire to a profound and intense passion. His fidelity toward Juliet is quite abstract in the sense that he loves her enough to commit suicide because he feels that he is not able to continue his lie without her which is a demonstration of his faithfulness and loyalty to her. In Romeo and Juliet Romeo is driven by his emotions a lot of the time when making decisions. Examples of him doing this are that because of anger compels him to kill Tybalt in a duel to avenge to death of his friend and despair causes him to take his own life upon hearing of Juliet's death. He also is driven many times by his love for Juliet. Love forces him to make the reckless decision to sneak into the garden of his enemy's daughter and risk death only to catch a glimpse of her. These intense depths of feeing are what drive the character in this story

The audience witnesses Romeo’s immaturity early in the play after Rosaline breaks up with him. He was depressed, heartbroken, and speaks as if he would rather not be alive. In act 1 Scene 1 Benvolio, Mercutio, and Romeo are all talking about Rosaline and Romeo states “She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair, To merit bliss by making me despair: She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow Do I live dead that live to tell it now.” Romeo talks as if the world is ending. He also says, “ Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes” He is suffering from severe heartbreak and feels pain from his breakup. He blubbering like a child throughout

Romeo’s character shows deep emotion and extemporaneous actions, even if it was for his youth and immaturity. He was sure of his infatuation with Rosaline at the time, but he quickly turns around and proclaims his love for Juliet. Romeo says, “My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself/ Because it is an enemy to thee. / Had I it written, I would tear the word” (2-2 [55-57]). Romeo’s not thinking about the consequences of his actions or what he’s saying; all he cares about is

Romeo answered, “Out of her favor, where I am in love” (1. 1. 173). The dialogue indicates Romeo loved Rosaline, but she did not reciprocate those feelings. He tells Benvolio, “In sadness… [he did] love a woman” (1. 1. 212.). Benvolio tried to lift his spirits by explaining how love is “tyrannous” (1. 1. 175) but nothing seemed to work. Despite Benvolio’s words of encouragement and empowerment, Romeo slipped into a deep sadness.

Romeo and Mercutio are one of the most dynamic set of character foils in the play, due to the extremeness of their contrasting characteristics and how they still manage to become best friends. These powerful characters act as a catalyst on the entire world renowned play. Above all, Romeo is a love-driven, poetic and passionate kid who sees through tunnel vision when it comes to finding his true love. For one, Romeo was in love with a character names Rosaline from the beginning of the play, although he’s never met her. In Act 1 Scene 1, Romeo asks, “Is the day so young?”

Romeo’s first love in this play is Rosaline but she doesn't even like him. When he first saw Juliet he said that he hadn't seen true beauty till that night. Young love is portrayed by dangerous and rapid in this play. Romeo fell hard and fast for Juliet. On that hand he tends to do that alot.

Romeo frequently displays how vulnerable he is to any form of issue before he even attends the Capulet party and meets Juliet. As for Romeo’s lovesickness, Dr. Stanton Peele notices that “Shakespeare begins the play with a long development of Romeo's withdrawal from his previous affair with Rosaline-he is so disconsolate he is already threatening suicide- well before he meets Juliet!” (Peele 2009). Considering that his only issue with Rosaline is that she does not love him - suicide is a major overreaction to this . Unrequited love, while painful to those who experience it, is in no way a reason for suicide. Even so, it requires Benvolio’s persuasion to keep Romeo from killing himself over something as insignificant as an unrequited crush. When he does meet Juliet later at the play, he goes from one extreme to the next, which Dr. Stanton Peele explains by saying “Note that Romeo goes instantaneously from pathological lovesickness to total infatuation” (Peele 2008). From one glimpse, his love consumes all of his thoughts and actions. He then proceeds to drag her down with him into his insanity-disguised as true love. Chaos unfolds as what they think is love at first sight spirals into an endless cacophony of fighting and death. Later through the play, the two lovers continue speaking of suicide-all in the name of

At the start of the story, Romeo is tormented by the the fact that the woman he loves, Rosaline, does

Romeo was infatuated with Rosaline, who paid no attention to him whatsoever, which in turn made Romeo depressed and desperate for mutual feelings. His friend, Benvolio, tells Romeo to go to the party to get over his love-sick feelings for Rosaline, and at said party he sees Juliet, a “Saint/Angel” — words he would have used for Rosaline. Romeo immediately becomes obsessed with Juliet despite declaring his love to
