Romeo and Juliet

Romeo
Romeo is a very passionate and loving being. Romeo’s emotions play a big part in every decision he makes. Romeo quickly falls in love with Juliet right after mourning over Rosaline and wants “thou consent to marry us” ( 2.3.64). Romeo is looking for someone to love girl after girl and his emotions are driving him to find someone. When Romeo and Tybalt come to a confrontation Romeo chooses not to fight him because he claims he, “ loves thee better than thou canst devise” (3.1.66). Romeo’s emotions get in the way of his confrontation with Tybalt and he wouldn’t draw on him. When Romeo finds out that Juliet is “dead” his emotions cause him to react and say, “ come cordial and not poison, go with me to Juliet’s grave where I will use thee” (5.3.85-86). Romeo’s emotions cause him to over react and kill himself with the poison in Juliet’s grave. Romeo lets his emotions take over his actions and through my opinion, is the whole reason they ended up in the mess they were in.
Romeo and Juliet
At first sight they fell in love.
Their families hated each other,
They wanted to be together anyways.
They were joined in marriage,
Tragedy struck and their love split.
The world tore their love apart,
But they kept fighting for it.
Juliet's plan was supposed to join them,
Instead it ended in the tragic death of both.
When Romeo and Juliet met, they fell in love. Their families are in the middle of an ancient feud and would forbid their marriage. Juliet fell in love with her enemy as she says,"my only love, spring from my only hate!" (1.5.154)
