My insight of Romeo

In my opinion, Romeo is irrational, sorrowful, and a foolish boy, who doesn't embrace what "love" is until he meets the love of his life; that will eventually send his sanity spiraling downwards. In the book, Romeo and Juliette, it clearly states "Bid a sick man in sadness make his will? A word ill-urged to one that is so ill. In sadness, I do love a woman." (pg.38) This quote was when Romeo was still madly in love- or thought he was madly in love with this girl Rosaline. Though, later on when Romeo goes along to go crash a Capulet party, he sees who he thinks truly is the love of his life; Juliette. In the book it reads, "I'll watch her place of stand, And touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight. For I ne're saw true beauty till this night." (pg. 68 Line 45) Romeo had just seen Juliette at the Capulet Party, and he again believes he is in love; thus proving Romeo is in fact not just , irrational, and sorrowful, he's foolish as well.
