Romeo, the lovesick 16 year old who falls in love with his enemies daughter, Juliet. He is 16 years old and lovesick. He is the only son of the Montague’s. Romeo is a static character who displays sensitive, lovestruck, and immature traits throughout the play which affect the other characters negatively. Romeo and Juliet was written by William Shakespeare. This play is about a boy and a girl whose families are enemies. Then later on they meet and falls in love. It is a forbidden love.
We first see Romeo as sensitive when his first love does not love him. Rosaline refuses to give up her virginity so she does not want to be with Romeo any longer. Later we see that he morns on-very the death of Mercutio. Then soon after he thinks his love, Juliet, is dead he kills himself so he does not have to live his life without her. “Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, which thou wilt propagate, to have it pressed with more of thine” (I, i 177-179). Romeo believes Rosaline was his only love so in this quote it shows that he is sad and depressed. Romeo is saying that Benvolio is added more to his sadness. Romeo is very sensitive when it comes to love. He

would kill himself if he lost one of his loves. Therefore, Romeo is very sensitive.
We see Romeo showing signs of being lovestruck when he first sees Juliet.

When Romeo goes to the festival that the Capulet’s hold, he meets Juliet and instantly falls in love with her even though she is the enemies daughter. Also when Romeo leaves the festival he goes back to the Capulet’s house to see if he can find Juliet, so he can express his love to her. Romeo is so in love with Juliet that he will kill himself for her. “Can I go forward when my heart is here? Turn back, dull earth, and find thy center out” (II, i 1-2). This quote supports the details because it shows that Romeo is lovestruck for Juliet. Romeo is saying that his love Juliet and that he needs her in his life. Romeo is in love with Juliet. He would risk his life to be with her. In conclusion, Romeo shows many signs of being lovestruck in this

play.
Lastly, another trait of Romeo is being impolite. Romeo is impolite and immature when he is with his friends. He is a different person around Juliet, but when the nurse goes to visit him she does not like what she sees. She is disgusted at how he would let his friends be disrespectful around her. “He is not the flower of courtesy” (II, iv 43). The nurse says this because the nurse visited Romeo for Juliet and Romeo and his friends were rude and immature. From this quote Romeo is different around his friends then around Juliet. If he acted this way when he is around Juliet she would probably see him differently. So, Romeo is not old enough for maturity in a relationship
Romeo has many different traits in the play Romeo and Juliet. The ones that stick out most are sensitivity, being lovestruck, and impolite. He expresses these traits throughout the whole play. Although these affect the characters negatively what could happen if he changed these traits? Would he still have lived?
