Emotions In Romeo And Juliet

In William Shakespeare's play, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare discusses how Romeo portrayed the emotions of love for his now wife Juliet, but he experiences a moment of crisis to make his emotions quickly change. Currently in the Play, Friar Lawrence has declared the marriage of Romeo and Juliet, and both of the teenagers couldn’t be happier. Romeo has just had the best day of his life, and was walking through the Plaza when he encounters Tybalt. Tybalt had announced that he wanted Romeo and himself to duel through a letter that got sent to Romeo, but Romeo never received the letter. That is because Romeo hasn’t been at home, he was getting married to Juliet. Romeo is just on cloud-nine and doesn’t even want to fight Tybalt,
