    Rosaline should be pardoned. All she did was decide to become a nun. “...But beauty starved with her severity…”(1,1) This is Romeo saying that he’s upset because he could never marry her. Another reason for a pardon is that Romeo wasn’t really in love.

    more than a fake worship between Romeo and Juliet. Romeo was just in love with Rosaline and Juliet was obviously looking for an attachment at the ball. Most get that this is romantic feeling but it’s just passing addiction. One reason that Romeo and Juliet are going through fake love is that Romeo is still in love with Rosaline trying to get over her.

    with Rosaline and with Juliet. They have very traits. In the beginning of the story, Rosaline refuses Romeo's love. She is only known by the speech of the other characters, specially Romeo, so it's difficult to know who she actually is. Juliet is the main character, just like Romeo, and she is his wife.

Juliet and Rosaline are completely
