Romeo and Juliet Reflection

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

He had revealed this to Benvolio to comfort himself. Around the end, or even after he first lays eyes on Juliet, all of the things that I mentioned above changed. His outlook on life and how he felt while in love changed very drastically.

In love, when he revealed his feelings to the nurse and Friar Laurence, he thought love was wonderful. He told Friar Laurence that there was no love like his for Juliet. His mood changed from being depressed and vulnerable, to confident and exceedingly happy. This could have been
