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.
forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.” (Shakespeare, 1999, p.65) This is where Romeo and Juliet’s story of love and persistence begins. After the initial meeting even knowing of here Capulet heritage Romeo’s love is so strong, he does not give up on her, he instead finds a way to reach her at her ancestral home.
forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.” (?????) Despite the fact that Romeo and Juliet
Although Romeo was so sad Rosaline didn’t love him back, he was able to rebound and find interest in Juliet. Romeo says, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! / For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night”(1.5.51-52).
Imagine two young lovers who could never truly be together, take their lives over a misunderstanding and ancient grudges of their families. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare has a recurring theme of immaturity of young lovers that only have irrational actions, will hurt not only themselves, but everyone around them just so that they can be with their one and only. To connect the modern world to this play, we have accumulated five songs that would support this theme while also showing the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. “The Wisp Sings” by Winter Aid is one of many songs that reflect the theme of Romeo and Juliet. It talks about how someone is trying to take their lover away, while also trying to express their feelings all at the same time.
The all seeing sun ne’er saw her match since first the world began.” (Act I, scene ii, lines 92-93). In these lines, he is talking about Rosaline and how no woman could ever be as beautiful as her. However, Romeo quickly switches over to thinking that Juliet is the most beautiful girl in the world. “For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.”
When Juliet and Romeo were faced with a conflict, they would act based upon their emotions rather than coming up with rational solutions that would benefit both parties. They were only thinking in the moment, and not of the future consequences. Unfortunately, their rash decisions led to tragic incidents and the deaths of friends, family, and themselves. The problematic impulsiveness from the main characters could be taken as a moral, that love can control one’s mind to behave recklessly, leading to troubling
Romeo causes his own downfall, with his impetuous and reckless nature. Upon seeing Juliet for the first time, Romeo lovingly says, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! / For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night” (1.5.54-55).
In William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, there are several acts of impetuosity shown through several characters. Impetuous means marked by impulsive vehemence or passion which Romeo, Juliet, and the friar all display. The three of them believe they are doing what is best for their situations, but in reality they are adding to the plot of the demise of the two lovers. In the play, the three characters Romeo, Juliet, and Friar Lawrence act on impetuosity, which leads to the final tragedy of the play.
Another trait eros lovers have is that they believe in love at first sight. Romeo experiences this with Juliet when he is waiting for his love Rosaline, but then he spots Juliet in the faces of many and says, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/ For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.” (i .iiiii.
In the play Romeo and Juliet one of the main characters, Romeo, is a rather impulsive fellow who acts on what he sees and feels. He falls in love in the blink of an eye and just as fast he can get over it. He is always impulsive but when he finds himself in love his impulsiveness doubles. Romeo’s impulsive decisions causes his love, Juliet, to ultimately get killed.
The Immaturity of Romeo and Juliet Immaturity can spread throughout things and people creating problems for the present and future. Similarly, Romeo and Juliet not only shows the development of love, but the loss of maturity that leads to tragedy. People develop maturity, but the amount of immaturity makes the process go backwards. From Romeo and Juliet’s fast evolving relationship to the hate between the two families, and the lack of thought in different characters is recurrent throughout the story. Therefore,the theme of Romeo and Juliet evolves around the idea of immaturity.
So soon forsaken? Young men’s love then lies/ Not truly in their heart, but in their eyes” (II., iii, 65-68). This shows how immature Romeo was when he met Rosaline, because he loved the sight of her, but did not really know her and it shows how he matured after he met Juliet. Also, when Romeo hears of Juliet 's death and goes straight to an Apothecary to get a poison.
A few days prior, he was love sick about Rosaline, and confessing his love about her, but the moment he set eyes on Juliet, he was struck with love once again. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo
At the beginning of this popular Shakespeare play, Romeo claims to be in love with a girl named Rosaline. He cries for days about her before he meets Juliet because she rejected his love for her. When Romeo first appears in the play, he appears to be too distracted with his heartache from Rosaline’s disenchantment of Romeo’s affection. His dwelling over his “love [for Rosaline], feel no love...
