Romeo and Juliet

I think Romeo (excuse my language) is a man whore.  He’s dramatic, love seeking and willing to die for a false since of love.  Those are the defining features of Romeos character.  “When the devout religion of mine eye maintains such falsehood, then turn tears to fires; and those who, often drowned, could never die, transparent heretics, be burnt for liars. One fairer than my love!  The all seeing sun ne'er saw her match, since first the world begun. (pg. 46)” If I was asked if I like Romeo I would have to say I dislike him over his compassion to kill himself over love and then switches his heart that quick.  I in all honesty think that this is a pathetic to show love and compaction.  If Shakespeare really wanted to make a good romance play he should have had them grow old and die together instead of committing suicide.  That is why I don’t identify Romeo as a real person.  Plus the fact that Romeo would take his life for someone her barley knows makes him a clingy and desperate person over love A.K.A. a man whore (again excuse the language.
