Romeo And Juliet Quote Analysis

In the story “The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet” I feel it really isn’t romance at all, it’s more so a tragedy. He was going after Rosaline and she said no, but then he saw Juliet and thought she was attractive and as did she. Neither of them really had a connection, they just thought one another was cute and Romeo wanted her to give head. She wanted to have sex with Romeo because her dad brought up in the beginning that she was a virgin and most people her age were not. So as I had said before they didn’t really have a connection, they just thought each other was cute. The quote, “O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant!” This shows that she thought that he was a handsome man and that

there wasn’t really a connection aside from them being married. This is also a tragedy because everyone had lost people in their family. “That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love! And I, for winking at your discords, too Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished.” This helps my claim because it states that everyone is punished because they have all lost loved ones, such as Romeo, Juliet, Lady Montague, Tybalt, Mercutio, and Paris. That makes 2 in each family. Lastly it’s not romance because Juliet is about to be forced to marry a man she does not love, that is a tragedy in itself. “Now, by Saint Peter’s Church and Peter too, He shall not make me there a joyful bride. I wonder at this haste, that I must wed Ere he, that should be husband, comes to woo.” This shows that she really does not love Paris and that she is coming up with excuses to delay the wedding. If that is romance, I know even less than I had thought I had known about romance. I think that Romeo and Juliet finding each other attractive and wanting sex, not exactly romantic or tragic but to the point, 2 deaths in each family, and being forced to marry someone she has not even really met makes this play not romantic but a tragedy.
