William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

In the love story about Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is an important

character as all the events are based on his actions. Romeo the son of

Montague falls in love with Juliet the daughter of lord and lady

Capulet, this creates a grave problem as the Capulet's and Montague's

have had a feud this has been festered for a long time.

The impression I get of Romeo when he first comes on to the scene is

that he sad and miserable he also shows emotion with his words it is

as if he intends on keeping himself to himself.

"Many a morning hath he there been seen, with tears augmenting the

fresh morning's dew."

Lord Montague also says that

"Away from the light steels home from my heavy son."

This shows that Romeo is secretive and keeps away from daylight.

This also shows that Romeo is trying to hide away from people as he

has been seen in the early morning looking sad and even crying.

"So secret and so close"

Romeo won't tell anyone what is wrong with him. Benvolio also makes

his way to speak to him but even though he saw him he turned and

walked off.

"Towards him I made but he was ware of me and stole off into the

convent of the wood."

When Romeo appears he looks sad and miserable, he says to benvolio

"Sad hours seem long."

Romeos hours seem long because he is in love and the lady he loves

doesn't love him back this makes him feel miserable as time is

dragging on. Romeo also says that

"Out of her favour where I am in love"

This shows that Romeo is love sick for this girl but she doesn't want

to give him anything in return, due to this he cannot forget his love

...

... middle of paper ...

...on his enemy. Later on after the party had finished Romeo sneaked to

see Juliet.

When Romeo sees Juliet on the balcony talking to herself about Romeo

how she loves him but how it impossible for them to be as both of

their families are having a feud. Romeo decides to listen you her

before replying

"Call me but 'love' and I'm be new baptised henceforth I never be

Romeo"

When Romeo says this to Juliet he suggests to her that hew is prepared

to deny his name and his family if she will love him. Romeo also tells

Juliet how love overcomes all obstacles, he says that

"With love's light wings did I o'eperch these walls for stony limits

cannot hold love out"

By saying this to Juliet Romeo also tells her that he is risking his

life coming to her this shows that Romeo is brave and would do

anything for love.
