Khushi Patel Period 2 Due date: April 19, 2018 Journal #1 In the first two scenes of Romeo and Juliet, we see Romeo is heartbroken over Rosaline, his "one true love". I would characterize Romeo as handsome, intelligent, a romantic, but very sensitive. Romeo is depressed and sad about Rosaline.
Romeo was deeply in love with Rosaline and wanted to be with her and get married. “For beauty starved with her severity…She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair, to merit bliss by making me despair: She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow…” (Romeo and Juliet 1.1.210-214) Romeo thought that Rosaline was everything he was looking for. Rosaline on the other hand did not care for Romeo, or from what the play tells us. Romeo moved on past Rosaline at a party the Capulets were throwing. If Romeo had not moved onto Juliet many, if not all, characters would have still been alive.
Romeo and Juliet Love and hate similarities If you have ever been in love or experienced some kind of love, you know how rapidly love can turn into something a whole lot less kind and unpleasant. Shakespeare employs literary devices to interrogate conventional wisdom, arguing that it's a feature of superficial thinking in Romeo and Juliet, love and hate are just two sides of the story. ' Romeo and Juliet' by William Shakespeare, is a play about two young teens whose unconditional love was set for failure from the beginning because both of their families, Montagues and Capulets are rivales and don't want anything to do with one another. The theme of love and hate are very crucial in the play.
When Romeo asks the Friar to marry him and Juliet together he agrees because he thinks that it may bring an end to the feud between their families, but he is also shocked that Romeo has gotten over Rosaline so quickly. For example, Romeo comes running in to talk to Friar Lawrence saying, “I love rich Capulet's daughter. I love her and she loves me. We’re bound to each other in every possible way, except we need you to marry us” ( Act 2, Scene 3, Lines 57-59). This quote shows us that Romeo has truly gotten over Rosaline and moved on to Juliet.
Throughout the first few scenes of the play Romeo would talk about his “love” Rosaline. Romeo wasn’t going to get over her, but his friend Benvolio knew that he needed to so he suggested that they go to the party that Peter invited them to so Romeo would seek out other girls: “But in that crystal scales let there be weighed Your lady’s love against some other maid That I will show you shining at this feast, And she shall scant show well that now seems best” (1.2.103-106). Romeo agrees to go to the party, but not to look at other girls, rather to rejoice in Rosaline's beauty. If he wasn’t so caught up in Rosaline then Benvolio maybe wouldn’t have told him to go to the party which would then lead to Romeo and Juliet not meeting. Once Tybalt found out about Romeo going to the Capulet party he was not very happy causing him to get pretty angry and go after Romeo: “Mercutio, thou consortest with Romeo '' (3.1.46), “Well, peace be with you, sir.
At first, it was lust, but then lust became greed. Romeo and Juliet were both attracted to each other, but when they realized they couldn’t have each other, the attraction grew. In the play, Romeo gets easily upset by the things he cannot have, almost like a little child. When Romeo realizes he can not have Rosaline, his first love, he puts up a huge fit. He complains and exclaims that he will never be happy again all because he is too ungrateful to be happy for who and what he has.
In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, two teens fall in love. In the beginning Romeo claims he can’t live without a girl named Rosaline.

This quotation represents that Romeo loved Rosaline without knowing her. In the novel Romeo fell head over heels for Rosaline based on her looks.
To begin with, Romeo compares Juliet and Rosaline, easily maneuvering their placement in his cosmos with their new status of sun and moon.
