Connect with our sweet Juliet and our daring Romeo.
Starting out the play, we meet Romeo in love with Rosaline and controlled by her good looks and witty status. Seeming to make the outcome of the book different than ever expected, we don't believe he will get over Rosaline and love Juliet for his examples of stubborn behavior. Romeo is a young boy experiencing with the feeling of love, and the complications that come with love, and how lust takes a big part in the beginning of relationships with teenagers. For how much Romeo claims he loves Rosaline, the moment he lays eyes on another gorgeous girl (Juliet) he isn't in love with Rosaline anymore and wants to spend the rest of his time with Juliet Capulet. Many teens can relate to the feeling of lust, although in relationships, they say "I love you" and "I want to be with you forever". But you can never know with relationships that are between kids. Marriages will make more sense with saying those words, but coming from middle school children or immature teens, all you could end up with is a broken heart in the end (by the boy or girl that said those words and then later never actually meant them.) As for Juliet, you meet her and she is so sweet and innocent at first but then later she goes against her parents and takes her life for a boy she has only known for a couple weeks. Many teens can relate to these feelings of sadness as well. Having a broken heart or a downfall in a relationship that you thought was going so fantastic can often lead to death in some kids. For me, I would never take my life for a boy I had only known for a month or a week. Juliet risked the relationship with her parents for the marriage of this boy and she had only known him for so long, explains how some people can be nowadays as well as back then. Quick to make life changing decisions and full of lust. Not love.
