Romeo was one to often rush into things; it was made clear in many scenes that most decisions or actions Romeo took were rash, and given almost no thought. During the balcony scene (Act II, scene ii) of Romeo and Juliet, the two decided to get married after only knowing each other for a short amount of time. Whereas Romeo did not…
In the beginning of the story the friar starts of as a kind man who is just careless, but in the end he is truly shown as a coward. Quote. What is preposterous is that he left Juliet with romeo's body in the capulet's tomb even when he knew she was in grief, he was just acting self centered and only cared for the wellbeing of himself. If Friar Laurence was any bit of an honorable man, then he would bring Juliet from that horrible place, not leave her there grieving over her dead lover. Quote. Alternatively, if the friar had not run away from the tomb and had instead gotten Juliet he would have prevented her death.…
Romeo is more compulsive than Juliet in the play Romeo and Juliet. First off, Romeo is more compulsive because he falls in love with Rosaline without really knowing her. “Out of her favor where I am in love” (Shakespeare 999). “She hath Dian’s wit and, in strong proof of chastity well-armed, from love’s weak childish bow she lives unharmed.”(Shakespeare 1000). This passage suggests that Romeo is speaking about his love for Rosaline. Romeo then goes on to tell us that she will not love him back, because she doesn’t want to fall in love. Along with Romeos love for Rosaline, he falls head over heels for Juliet without knowing she is a Capulet. “The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand and, touching hers make blessed my rude hand. Did…
In William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is one of the only characters who takes time to think over her decisions. In addition to this, she sticks to the choices she makes despite anyone else’s input. This is shown through Juliet’s thoughts when her mother speaks ill of her one true love, Romeo. When her mother regards Romeo as a “villain” for murdering Juliet’s cousin, Juliet says “Villain and he be many miles asunder. - God pardon him! I do, with all my heart” (3.5.85-86). In this quote, Juliet is expressing how she forgives Romeo for what he had done and that she does not think of him as a villain. Her saying this shows her fidelity and devotion to Romeo. Her lover for him is so strong that she is willing to forgive him for…
, Romeo is one of the protagonists in the story who shows many characteristics, but his impulsiveness protrudes the most. While Romeo can be characterized by his immaturity, his impulsiveness stands out like a jewel on an ethiopian man. Romeo’s impulsiveness is scattered throughout the story as it is shown in all the acts he is in. His impulsiveness may not be for the same situation all the time, but his impulsiveness is always shown. Romeo’s characteristic of impulsiveness is sprinkled throughout the play in situations of love and friendship. Romeo’s impulsiveness all starts in Act I where he experiences in love at first sight when he sees Juliet at the party. Romeo’s forgetfulness of Rosaline and love for Juliet starts: “Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight!/For I ne 'er saw true beauty till this night” (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet 1.5.4950). The chorus comments on Romeo’s quick decision, “With tender Juliet match 'd, is now not fair./ Now Romeo is beloved and loves again,/ Alike bewitched by the charm of looks” (2. prologue. 46). Friar Lawrence even remarks on Romeo’s actions as he gets enraged at Romeo’s…
Romeo and Juliet, a play written by William Shakespeare, is about Romeo, a passionate young man that tends to act hastily and rashly. Friar Lawerence advises him to behave more moderately to avoid danger and mistakes. Yet Romeo does not listen. There are many times throughout the play where Romeo could have avoided a bad situation if he had only listened to the Friar. Romeo falls in love with Juliet Capulet, a member of the rivaling family, and Romeo decides to marry her within 24 hours of meeting her without consulting with anyone. This is not the first time Romeo has fallen in love so quickly. Before Juliet, he was in love with a girl name Rosaline but he quickly changes his mind when he meets Juliet. Romeo's hastiness and emotional unstability will affect him negatively and lead to his demise.…

Lines 36-39 and 41-52 of Act 2; Scene 2, are significant to me because they have distinct levels of understanding and meaning to the play. Line 41 goes back to the original conflict that Romeo and Juliet are from feuding houses, the Capulets and the Montagues. It shows that Juliet does not want her family to fight the Montagues, and that she believes it is ridiculous because it is not the people they hate and fight it is their name, Montague. The section I chose reveals that the kids, Romeo and Juliet, feel that they can not have what they want because of the parents’ feuds. It makes you feel as helpless as they are, because you know that with their parents’ permission to get married, they would be happy.…

In the play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is more compulsive than Juliet. First, Romeo is more compulsive than Juliet because he was in love with Rosalind without even knowing her. Romeo says to Benvolio, "Out of her favor where I am in love" (Shakespeare 1.1.178). This quote suggests that Romeo falls in love too easily. Second, he was in love with Rosalind then he just took one look at Juliet and he was in love. Romeo says to the servant, "What lady's that, which doth enrich the hand of yonder knight?" (Shakespeare 1.5.46&47). This evidence illustrates Romeo just takes one look at Juliet then switches from Rosalind to Juliet in under a minute. Last, Romeo is so in love with Rosalind that he is only going to the party to see her. Romeo says to Benvolio,…
Romeo is presented in Shakespeare’s play as someone who is emotionally weak and shallow. This flaw is pointed out in his relationship with Juliet which occurs quickly and never really develops any further into anything but them being completely obsessed with each other. He also appears very immature in comparison with his…
The context of Escalus’s speech that I have just performed is in Act 1, Scene 1, where Prince Escalus intervenes a chaotic, hate-fuelled confrontation between the Capulets and Montagues. In Elizabethan times, the King’s power or in this case the Prince who was the representative of the King, has the power and authority to enforce rules, maintain law and order. The extract communicates the theme authority, law, and order.…

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the main character, Romeo Montague changes quite drastically throughout the play.
