Very Quickly he goes to party and sees Juliet and falls in love with her. They end up getting married. Romeo one day has to save Juliet from tomb, and sees her fake dead so he kills himself, when she wakes up she then kills herself. Romeo is a dynamic character. Some of his traits are that his emotions change quickly, he can act childish, and acting without thinking. Due to these traits the play is changed.
First is how Romeo’s emotions change quickly. At first he’s in love with Rosaline. Romeo says this about Rosaline. “She’s too beautiful, too wise to earn her way to heaven to make me suffer” (1.1.220). Then when he goes to dance and sees Juliet and falls in love right away. He says this when he first sees her, “Her
One thing that he does that he sneaks into Capulet garden to watch Juliet. This is what he says sneaking into garden, “How can I leave when my heart is here? I’ll go back and find my hearts delight” (2.1.1). That could get him in big trouble. The second way he acts without thinking is when he finds Juliet dead. After a couple minutes of seeing her he kills himself. If he would not have done this Juliet would have not died either. This what Romeo says before dinking the potion, “Here’s to my love! Your drugs are quick. With a kiss I die” (5.3.119). A normal person would probably not kill their self instantly after finding love one dead, they would probably wait a day

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Romeo’s impulsiveness contributes to the tragedy of the play. There is no doubt that Romeo rushes into love throughout the play. One example of this is when he falls in love with Rosaline. Although Rosaline is not a major role in the play, it shows the sorrow and uncertainty Romeo goes through after not being loved back. Marilyn Williamson said “During the time in which he was infatuated with Rosaline, he was … withdrawn into darkness” (6). The fact that Rosaline never shares the same feelings with Romeo, shows how quickly Romeo is to fall in love. “Out of her favor, where I am in love” (Rom. 1.1.158). Ironically, Romeo falls in love with Juliet during his plan to get closer to Rosaline. He is at a Capulet party when he first sees Juliet and
...se he believes Juliet to dead, drinks poison to take his own life as a last resort. What Romeo is unaware of is that Juliet is very much alive, so it is very ironic when he says, “Death, that has sucked the honey of thy breath,/ Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:/ Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet/ Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,/ And death’s pale flag is not advanced there” (V iii 101-105). This is fate in the works in the play. When Juliet sees that her love has not rescued her and rather is dead, she kills herself with a dagger found in the proximity. “O happy dagger/ This is thy sheath; there rust and let me die” (V iii 182-183).
William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is a love story based in Verona in the 1500s. Romeo and Juliet’s families have been in a feud for years, despite that they still fall in love. Romeo and Juliet hide their love from their families and this destroys them in the end. Romeo is protagonist and tragic hero in this play. He is an passionate and impulsive character that makes him perfect for his part.
Romeo and Juliet, a play by William Shakespeare, is about the tragedy of two lovers. The two lovers are from families that hate each other. Romeo is a Montague, whilst Juliet is a Capulet. Romeo had loved another girl, only to find she was to become a nun. He then went to a party hosted by the Capulets, and fell in love with Juliet. He met up with her, as she also liked him, and they eventually got married. Their happiness did not last long, however, as Tybalt, a man from Juliet’s house, killed Mercutio, a relative to the prince and Romeo’s friend. Romeo then proceeded to kill Tybalt, which lead to his banishment. Juliet put herself in a death-like state to be with Romeo, who found out and actually killed himself. Juliet
...ught about getting married to someone. When her mother asked her of marriage, it was something she had not dreamed of. Because of the use of Shakespearean language, Shakespeare is able to show his readers the change Juliet goes through throughout the play by the language and the tone he uses. Juliets love for Romeo changes her. Before she would always tell everything to her mother and do what she was asked to do. But then she decided to marry Romeo without consulting anyone in her family. She did things that she would have never done if she hadn't met Romeo. Juliet is a dynamic character because of the changes she goes through. Shakespeare is able to show the audience that a character no matter how they are in the beginning of the story, their decision and the events that influence their lives can change them making them a dynamic character.
Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story about a pair of star-crossed lovers whose demises were unexpected to most. However, their deaths were a result of their impulsiveness. It caused their problematic marriage, Romeo’s preventable death, as well as Juliet’s preventable death.
In Romeo and Juliet it is very sad but also happy as even though they
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy of an ancient feud where the children of two families at war fall deeply in love with each other. Set in the 16th century William Shakespeare’s play has many different themes running throughout it, which include love, hate, death and conflict. The play opens with a fight but ends with suicide that creates peace between both families who unite from their losses. The conflict, violence and aggression in the play happen from revenge and an ancient family grudge. An audience from the 16th century would have enjoyed Romeo and Juliet because of the real life drama and tragedy the play goes through. The patriarchal society gave women absolutely no rights and they had to obey their man’s ordering a patriarchal system. The theme of conflict is revealed as the characters argue over Juliet’s disobedience.
The significance of Juliet’s change in character is to show her accelerated transformation from a young girl into a mature woman. In the beginning of the play Juliet is unable to make her own decisions. However after her meeting with Romeo, Juliet becomes more assertive and defends her love for Romeo. In conclusion, individuals cannot be forced to love; love is nurtured and nourished but also is always put to test.
However, no one is able to on account of the fact that the audience is so focused on how rash and unwise they are. Within the first few hours of knowing Romeo, Juliet bemoans the fact that her “only love, sprung from [her]only hate.” First off, she barely met the guy and she’s already saying that he’s her only love. It doesn’t make sense. Then, at the beginning of the play, Romeo is in love with another woman, and then all of a sudden he’s in love with Juliet, whom he’s barely met? What is up with that? You can not forget someone and fall for someone else that fast. The friar says it best when he says “Is Rosaline, that thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken? Young men’s love then lies not truly in their hearts but in their eyes.” And again the friar says wise words when he comments to Romeo as he’s leaving that Romeo should be wise and slow, because “ they stumble that run fast.” He’s clearly telling Romeo to not marry so soon, to think this
Romeo's inclination to fall in love easily was first shown in his love for Rosaline. It was illustrated perfectly when he first met Juliet. "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight. For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night". (Lines 50-51, Scene 5, Act 1) He say this but he seemed to have forgotten Rosaline like old news, even though he speaks of Juliet as he spoke of Rosaline only a few short hours before. "One fairer than my love! The all-seeing sun ne'er saw her match, since first the world begun" (Lines 94-95, Scene 2, Act 1). Romeo immaturity was further shown by the way he handled Tybalt's slaying of Mercutio.
Romeo and Juliet is a romantic love story about a young lad named Romeo who has fallen in love with Lady Juliet, but is unable to marry her because of a long-lasting family feud. The play ends in the death of both these characters and the reunion of the friendship between the families. Romeo is in love with Juliet, and this is a true, passionate love (unlike the love Paris has for her or the love Romeo had for Rosaline) that nothing can overcome, not even the hatred between their two families that is the reason for the death of their two children. Throughout the play, Shakespeare thoroughly explores the themes of both true love and false love and hatred. Without either of these themes, the play would loose its romantic touch and probably would not be as famous as it is today.
When he wanted to get married, “the exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine” (2.2.127) is what he said. Romeo is to blame for the deaths because he did not wait for consent before getting married. I think that if he would have waited, they might not have had the sad, tragic ending that did happen. Romeo is very gullible for believing that Juliet has died. Romeo states to Benvolio “Thou knowst my lodging.
He tells Tybalt that someone is going to give him a friend in heaven. Another time Romeo proved himself loyal is at the Capulet’s family tomb over Juliet’s body, he says “Here’s to my love! O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die,” Here, Romeo is loyal enough to kill himself because he thinks Juliet, his true love, is dead.
Romeo and Juliet is one of the most intriguing stories you’ll ever hear. Begging with the rival families always having conflict. Or even how Romeo is desperately in love with Rosaline, but she doesn't like him and is planning on being a nun. But during this story the one who leads everything down hill is Romeo.
