The Emotions Of Romeo In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

In William Shakespeare’s play/novel, Romeo and Juliet, the protagonist, Romeo, initially falls in love at first sight with a young lady, Juliet Capulet, who is a descendant from the family that the Montague’s (Romeo’s family) are in a feud with. The star crossed lovers are beginning to learn bits about each other and figure out how to make things work for them in a span of less than three days. Not long before he meets Juliet, Romeo is still upset over his love for Rosaline and the fact that she did not love him back. “Ay me, sad hours seem long.” “What sadness lengthens Romeo’s hours?” “Not having that which having makes them short.” “In love?” “Out.” “Of love?” “Out of her favour where I am in love.” (A1,S1, line 154-160) Benvolio discusses Romeo’s sadness with him to figure out why he has been in such a glum mood.

The Opposing Themes of Love and Hate in the Play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

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

In the tragedy 'Romeo and Juliet', Shakespeare presents the inner struggles of Romeo and Juliet, the two protagonists as one of the main themes. This is clearly shown at the end of Act 3 Scene 2 when Juliet receives the news that Romeo has been banished and Tybalt has been killed. Juliet is distraught at the conflict of her loyalties. Should she express love for her family or should she express love for Romeo? By using many different language features, such as oxymorons, paradox, antithesis and dramatic irony, Shakespeare effectively displays Juliet's conflicting emotions. Later in the play, Shakespeare uses the betrayal by adults to again show the inner struggles of Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo becomes convinced that Juliet is the most beautiful creature he has ever seen and ever will see. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” (I, 5, 57-58). Romeo says that his heart has never loved before that moment and that his eyes confirm that Juliet is truly a beauty to be sought. This quote shows how Romeo quickly forgets his lovesickness for Rosaline and falls deeply in love with Juliet. He says that he has never loved before showing that by fate directing Romeo to the party and Juliet to his heart, that fate brings Romeo and Juliet together.

Similarly, Romeo forgets all about how he loved Rosaline and transitions into “loving” Juliet at the sight of her. Romeo mistaking love for lust is voiced by Romeo himself when he witnesses Juliet at the Capulet’s feast, he asks himself, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, / For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night” (I.v.51-60). When Romeo asks if his “heart” loved, he refers to his eyes. Romeo’s reference to beauty is parallel to his feelings of love towards Juliet only with the recognition of beauty or infatuation. Also, Romeo forgets all about his love for Rosaline the exact second sees Juliet, which can conclude he was never really in love to begin with; therefore, proving Romeo’s desire for Juliet is nothing more than meaningless infatuation. Furthermore, Friar Laurence tells Romeo that his sudden change of heart to move on from Rosaline means his desire towards her lies in his eyes rather than his heart. At the time of these events Juliet is thirteen years old and Romeo is eighteen years old showing that they are just teenagers. Although, teenagers do not take love seriously and do not have a full metal grasp of what love

However, at the party he meets Juliet for the first time, and immediately falls in love with her: “Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! / For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” Romeo, who was in love with Rosaline until a moment ago, completely forgets about her and is now all focused on Juliet. But what is very surprising is not the fact that he is in love with his enemy’s daughter, the astonishing thing is the speed at which he falls in love with her. Soon, in fact, he and Juliet kiss each other: “Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.” However, Romeo’s characteristics to love so deeply Juliet is just a symbol of his lacking the capacity of moderation for intense feelings of all kind. Had Romeo stopped himself from being so deeply caught up by Juliet’s beauty, the tragedy would have never happened.

Romeo and Juliet was a classic romance novel about passion, love and tragedy, written and first acted in 1595. According to Alan Durband, many versions of Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet all relate to Shakespeare's understanding of early life in Verona. Romeo, a Montague, falls in love with Juliet, a Capulet, because he is romantically inclined. The Capulets and Montagues are feuding households His impulsivity caused a lot of people to die and experience emotional pain. Falling in love with Juliet was the event that started a chain reaction.

“And but one word with one of us? Couple it with something; make it a

During some of part one, and two, we slowly learn about Romeo and his dilemma. He has fallen in love with beautiful Rosaline and all of his heart is crying out to her. He vows to never see a beauty as fair as her, and complains about the rudeness and pain of love. He allows himself to go to the party with Mercutio and his friends, but remarks he won't have a good time. "I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, But to rejoice in a splendor of mine own."  That is until he sees Juliet. Instantly he forgets all of his lamenting for Rosaline love, and proclaims Juliet is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. "O! she doth teach the torches to burn bright. It seems she hangs on the cheek of night, like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet loved each other, but they knew that it wouldn't be possible to have a relationship because of their feuding families. Their deaths were tragic, as it was mainly the people around them that made them so unhappy. They were so in love with each other that they took risks to be together, which lead to their unfortunate deaths. Romeo is a Montague. He falls in love with Juliet the moment he sees her at a Capulet ball.

He is desperately in love with Rosaline until he lays eyes on Juliet and marries her less than twenty-four hours later. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (I.v.50-51). Romeo said that he was in love with Rosaline, but at the party he lays eyes on Juliet and says that he has never seen a women so beautiful as Juliet.

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, two young lovers seperate families have a long feud that disturbs the city of Verona by their often violent conflicts. The two main characters, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, end up suffering a horrible tragedy that is influenced by many actions and people, a lot relating to their families. By the end of the play you get to see that some of Romeo and Juliet’s actions may have been impulsive and not needed, but in my opinion didn’t effect the play as much as the other problems surrounding them. I disagree that the tragedy that destroys Romeo and Juliet is their own fault, due to the numerous other actions that intervene with their relationship such as their families hostility

In the play and song, the narrative voices of male characters show their enthusiastic response to a romantic emotion associated with a woman. Sir Paul McCartney performed a song titled “Michelle” at the white house for the president and his family. “Michelle” is a song that was intended to expose the male’s emotion towards Michelle. Romeo and Juliet was written by William Shakespeare, in the 1300’s. In this play excerpt Romeo is overcome with an outstanding amount of emotion, and he finds himself falling in love. Both males from these sources explain the unconditional attraction between themselves and the women, and they show their emotions verbally, because they do not know how to do not any other way. In the song “Michelle” Sir McCartney

The emotional structure empowers Shakespeare to present characters who voice a wide range of suppositions, from which we may, on the off chance that we wish, endeavor to surmise the writer's own perspective. Such deduction is, best case scenario provisional: it might prompt a tangled endeavor to comprehend the plays as far as a cutting edge political viewpoint. Consequently, individualists like Richard II or Hotspur (Harry Percy) are seen as "dashing" and "sentimental" (in nineteenth or twentieth century terms) while the down to earth Henry Bolingbroke (Henry IV) is seen as underhanded and unscrupulous: more likely than not these are judgements which would not have jumped out at Shakespeare or his gathering of
