    In many ways Romeo's attitude to life is childlike and idealistic. Like a child he seeks attention and creates drama in the most unnecessary of situations. He seeks to seem mature by discussing love and the effect it has had on him but his actions have the opposite effect by making him seem childish.…

    To confirm this, “Teenage brains rely on the limbic brain to make decisions. However, the limbic brain makes choices based on emotions. Teenagers struggle to make logical, well thought out plans due to an ineffective prefrontal cortex. The teenage brain seeks pleasure seeking activities.” (Source 2: Teen Brain: Still Under Construction) The two teens are barely reaching adolescence, and because of this, their rational part of the brain is not developed and their decision making is hindered. The brain finishes developing between 15-25 years. Romeo and Juliet just want to be with each other and because of that portion of the brain, they would do anything to see each other. Another quote to support my thesis is “During adolescence, humans go through a process called "synaptic pruning". This Process causes the outer cortex to become thinner, but more efficient; therefore making the rational portion of the brain stronger.” ( Source 2: Teen Brain: Still Under Construction) Romeo would only be experiencing the very beginning of adolescence, and therefore would not have this rational part of the brain fully functional and that’s why he rushes through his decisions. One more quotation for this statement is “The brain finishes developing between 15-25 years. Adolescence brains have not fully developed yet…

    Throughout his diverse emotional states, Romeo, a round character, undergoes the emotional changes of love and hate. In early acts of the play, Romeo is depressed due to his overwhelming love for Rosaline, the woman who swore, “that she will still live chaste,” (I. i. 214). Only, he thought that he loved her. To try to diverge his emotional state from this depression, Mercutio takes Romeo to the Capulet’s party. There, Romeo becomes lovestruck by the, “true beauty,” of the daughter of Capulet (I. i. 53). Romeo’s emotional state completely reverses. He becomes this hopeful and positive man full of love. Nothing can stop this man from going back down to the bottom, or so we think. As we make our way into Act III, things start to go downhill.…

    I first met Romeo when he was just a little child, born in a society absorbed in hatred. Romeo had a good life but was lonely. His parents did not have the time or energy to look after him and show him the attention he deserved. I often saw him wondering the streets at night misbehaving. Once I saw him steal a loaf of bread of his best friend Benvolio. As Benvolio treated him with insults, I came along and paid for that loaf of bread and took him back to my cell to teach him some life lessons.…

    In literature, Romeo’s name has become interchangeable with a true lover. His persona is one resembling that of a perfect youthful love and is desired by any couple wanting a relationship lasting for eternity. In the beginning of the play, he is indifferent towards the feud between the Montague and Capulets. The only thing on his mind is Rosaline but this instantly changes once Juliet walks into his life.…

    The heartbroken Romeo lashes out negatively, behaving like many who have suffered at the hands of love. For example, in Act I Scene I, Romeo describes love as a deadly poison, a smoke, a swollen sea, a madness, and a choking gall. Portraying love as “smoke,” evokes images of a choking black cloud of doom. Millions of those who have tasted the bitterness of love denied know how gloomy and bleak the world feels. Romeo also speaks of love as “madness” with him being the “lunatic.” Again, he depicts love as an unpredictable craziness, but isn’t this typical of one who is hurting? Romeo’s metaphors about love may seem harsh, but they are characteristic of one who has lost in the game of love. His hurt stems from authentic feelings, and he speaks about love as if he is genuinely heartbroken. Romeo’s love for Rosaline is genuine because he demonstrates symptoms of someone heartbroken and he refuses to believe there is life after Rosaline. His actions are typical of many young people experiencing the heartbreak of an authentic…
