Romeo Impulsive Quotes

In William Shakespeare's “Romeo And Juliet” Romeo is the main character. He is Montague's son. Which means he is the son of his loves enemy, the Capulets. Romeo is very depressed, he is very negative, impulsive, anxious, emotional, and he is a rebel. Romeo is stupid if he would have taken it slow and not rushed things with Juliet they might still be alive. Due to Romeo and Juliet's mad love for eachother, and their families hatred towards each other they died.
In act 1, scene 1 we see Romeo is very negative when he tells Benvolio “Thou canst not teach me to forget”(230). This is Romeo saying he will never forget about Rosaline. This is him being negative because he is putting himself in the position where he can't forget about her. If he

felt that she was not that great and had a positive outlook on it. This is actually funny to me because 3 hours later he is in love with Juliet, after he says he will never find anyone more beautiful then Rosaline but he is all wrapped up in Juliet now (1.1. 230).
Romeo more like Rom-emo I say this because romeo is portrayed by Shakespeare to be really depressed. In act 1, scene 1 Romeo says “Grieves of mine own lie heavy in my breasts” (179).He is saying that his sadness for his denied love is on his chest. He thinks he loves Rosaline, but little does he know that in within a span of twelve hours he will marry someone else. We know he will get over Rosaline when he sees Juliet. I chose this quote because Romeo is actually admitting he is sad (1.1.179).
In act 2, scene 3 Romeo asks Friar Laurence to marry him and Juliet tonight “That thou consent to marry us today”(217). This tells us that Romeo is anxious because two hours ago this fool was all wrapped up around Rosaline, saying he will never get over Rosaline. I find this amusing, he is marrying a girl, and when I say girl I mean girl Juliet is only thirteen, about two hours after he was saying he will not find anyone better than Rosaline. We may never know Romeo may have gotten over Juliet, if they were still alive, and “loved” another woman. With how fast he got over Rosaline you never know (2.3.64).
Romeo is very impulsive in act 2, scene 3, he asks Friar Laurence to marry him and Juliet, “...save what thou must combine in holy marriage” (217).

Romeo is asking Friar Laurence to marry him and Juliet, when they met just hours ago. The quote makes Romeo seem very impulsive because they just met hours ago and he's already asking Juliet to marry him. Don't you think you ought to let there be at least more than one day before you marry someone, well in this case Romeo and Juliet don't think so. I believe this is very foolish of them, because them trying to be together kills both of them. This young man obviously does not know what he wants

(2.3.60-61).
In Act 2, scene 3 Romeo is a rebel, out of everyone in the City of Verona, he had to choose his family's only enemies only daughter “Then plainly know my heart's dear love is set on the fair daughter of rich Capulet” (216).

I chose this quote Mainly because Romeo says that he is in love with the daughter of Capulet which is Juliet. Of course that's what makes Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet. If Romeo wasn't Montague's only son, and Juliet Capulet’s only daughter there would be no point in Romeo and Juliet. You can't find love in two hours, so this shows me that they're looking just for looks. Basically Romeo shallow, he thinks he's in love just by looks. Don't get me wrong sometimes people find your soulmate like that, but it is very unlikely. I know the whole love-at-first-sight but that's nonsense, you may think so but people are not always what they seem to be. Behind every person there is a monster (2.3.57-58).
In act 1, scene 1 Romeo is very in touch with his emotions, “Tut! I have lost myself; I am not here: this is not Romeo, he's some other where” this quote actually makes you think what is Romeo talking. I believe he is saying he's so sad that he is not himself, he's not in the right mindset. Only a person that is truly in touch with their emotions would know this. Then again two hours later he's in love with some other woman. That kind of shows you he is in touch with his emotions but not fully. His mind is telling him something but his heart to telling

him otherwise.
I explained only six of his many character attributes. What am I character attributes looking back at it throughout this essay was negativity because if you didn't notice all of Romeo's character attributes I did were negative. I would go back and change of paragraph but it's 10 o'clock at night and I'm tired. I believe this character analysis make me think more in-depth into the character of Romeo. At first I was thinking oh this guy's in love with one woman and then goes to another woman within a span of two hours. Romeo is very confusing and has many more character attributes.
