Romeo was also a vey loving person who wanted nothing but love with another person. At first he felt that he was in love with a Lady Rosaline.

Feeling sorry for Romeo, I told him to find another woman in Verona, also his friends…

Romeo and Juliet is hailed as a staple of romantic literature, with beautiful prose and loving relationships. However, while its language is eloquent, Romeo and Juliet’s relation is the antithesis of a good relationship. Any relationship which involves both parties ending up dead within a few days of meeting each other is probably not healthy. It’s clear both of them rushed into it based on superficial reasons and stupidity ended it early.…

Juliet’s perspective of love, marriage and relationships have changed throughout Romeo and Juliet. At the beginning of the play Juliet never thought about love or marriage and never considered love or marriage, for when her parents told her that they want her to marry Paris she asked how can I love someone if I don’t even know him. “I have never dreamed about marriage.” When Juliet’s family had a party Romeo snuck in and when Juliet saw him, she told the nurse that he is cute and she thinks she fell in love with Romeo at first sight.

Romeo: The son of Montague, Romeo is first introduced to us as a sad, melancholic, apathetic youth. His reason for sadness is universal; Rosaline his love will not return his affections. Not initially daring, it is his friends Mercutio and Benvolio who suggest he gatecrash or arrive uninvited at the Capulet party to see Rosaline. There he meets Juliet falling instantly in love. From this point on, Romeo no longer is melancholic, but dynamic and courageous, risking his life at the Capulet's house to be near Juliet and later breaking a banishment order which threatens death for him, to see his Juliet again. Well regarded even by Capulet, his enemy, Romeo is a thoughtful man, unwilling to provoke fighting unlike the hot-blooded, adversarial Tybalt, whom he kills. Romeo also kills Paris but in both encounters sought to avoid fighting, winning only to defend his life. At the end of the play, he commits suicide, rather than live without Juliet, the ultimate display of loyalty for his love Juliet since his life obviously no longer had meaning without her...…
Romeo exhibits several appealing traits as he expresses his deep love for Juliet. When Juliet asks how Romeo climbed over the high orchard walls and explains that Romeo will be punished with death if he is caught; Romeo is loyal to Juliet: “With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls, / For stony limits cannot hold love out, / And what love can do, that dares love attempt: / Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me” (2.2.66-69). Romeo exhibits very desirable qualities when he says his love for Juliet is so grand that it has managed to carry him over…

In Act 1 Scene 5, Shakespeare presents the relationship between Romeo and Juliet as sacred. This is evident from Romeo's words to Juliet, " If I profane with my unworthiest hand/ This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this". Romeo is comparing Juliet's hand to a holy place which is unworthy to be visited by Romeo's hand. "My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand/ To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss." These words by Romeo again do the job of making it clear to the audience that the relationship between Romeo and Juliet is holy. Romeo says to Juliet that if she is offended by the touch of Romeo's hand, his two lips are blushing pilgrims which are ready to make things better with a kiss. Juliet addresses Romeo as a "pilgrim" and herself…
