Romeo and His Scattered Emotions

Romeo’s character so far is very dramatic because he at the beginning of the book is very dark and sad and ready to kill himself over this girl Rosaline. He says, “Tut I have lost myself, I am not here. This is not Romeo, he’s some other where. This shows how sad he was the Rosaline didn’t love him. He felt out of himself like he wasn’t even living anymore. Then, he just looks at Juliet and immediately forgets about Rosaline and goes full out in love with Juliet and is ready to marry her. My personal thought about Romeo is that I don’t like him because he is too dramatic and stupid basically. He does everything to the full extent without thinking about the consequences and what’s going to happen next. He says, “O blessed, blessed night. I am afeard, being it night, all this is but a dream, too flattering sweet to be substantial”. This shows that he is so in love with her that he thinks he is dreaming because it is too good to be true and earlier in the play he said he would marry her without thinking of what could happen to him by doing so. I do not identify with Romeo at all. I tend to put the least amount possibly into something I do and I always think about the outcome in everything I do because I don’t want to ever be set up to fail.
