                                  Who Is Romeo?

             I think Romeo is kind of weird. He is kind of impulsive and he falls in love he does it with such a passion it's kind of weird. Romeo based on the movie I think is someone who is SUPER dramatic. Especially in the balcony scene. He is very athletic and somewhat mysterious. In the scene in the movie where he was at the dance and was wearing the mask he was trying to find Rosaline. However, it seems as if when he found her (Rosaline) it was as if he wasn't really interested in her anymore. 
what i think about romeo is that he is a guy that falls in love to fast. he is very passionate about love. i think hes not as committed to love he is just a quick one and done person. i don't think Juliet shouldn't  marry romeo Juliet says we should be marryed.

Romeo Who Are You?

Romeo has many things you can say about him. Romeo is a person who can live in the moment. At the same time he can be very depressed then jump in to a state of happiness as if he never was depressed. Romeo also says that he is truly deeply in love with Rosaline. But as soon as he sets his eyes on Juliet he says he found his one true love. Romeo is able to go from from on women to another. It is as though he does not care what he does to Rosaline, he is just caught up in the moment. Romeo is just to young to know what he should do. He does not know that the decisions he makes will affect everyone else not just him.

Romeo's impulsive behavior

Romeo is an impulsive person, because when he saw Rosaline he said it was love at first sight, and then he saw Juliet and was completely over Rosaline.  He goes for what he wants, even if he has to break the rules.  Romeo says, “Then move not, while my prayer’s effect I take thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged (act one scene 5).”  This shows that Romeo went for Juliet, because he knew she was the one, and that same night they kissed, love struck.  Also, Juliet says, “Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow (act two scene 2).”  This shows that Juliet wanted to marry Romeo and his impulsiveness payed off.  Clearly, Romeo is a very impulse man.  He has shown it threw his love to Juliet.

                                                    Romeo in my opinion 

Romeo is a player in my opinion. He is always throwing out the “L” word but I don’t think he really means it. At first he was desperately in love with Rosaline but then he goes to a party (that he isn’t even sposed to be at ) and then claims that he is in love with Juliet and then forgets all about his precious Rosaline. ”out of her favour where I am in love” ~ act 1 scene 1~  is what he said about Rosaline way before he met Juliet. when he meets juliet he says ''the exchange of thys love's faithful vow for mine. meaning he wants to marry her.i dont really have a problem with romeo i think he just needs to make up his mind

Knowing Romeo Montague 
English 2B 

Romeo Montague is a love stricken man who at first was in love with a girl named Rosaline that can't love him back to her choice of being a nun; this led him to being in a state of love depression while dealing with his household's own personal problems with the Capulet household.  With Romeo being a very peaceful person to others not being a violent person at all.  Until he met Juliet Capulet becoming madly in love with her but in a confused state to loving the Capulet daughter.

Romeo is different in perspectives of others Devin Gao

Romeo is a love struck man who loves anyone that comes in his way. I feel like Romeo is struck with a cupid’s arrow all the time to be able to love anyone that comes up in his path. Romeo also doesn’t let anything get in his way as he finds ways to get past them. Romeo is first in love with Rosaline, which was depressed when he wasn’t able to see her. Soon after, Romeo saw Juliet at the Capulet party and has fallen in love with her. “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright. It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night as a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear – Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear. So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows as yonder lady o’er her fellows shows. The measure done, I’ll watch her place of stand, and touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, slight. For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (Shakespeare Act one Scene five). Quoted from Shakespeare he shows Romeo having love at first sight when he saw Juliet. Romeo can’t be stopped by love quoted by himself “With love’s light wings did I o’erperch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out, and what love can do, that dares love attempt: Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me” (Shakespeare Act two Scene two). I can tell that Romeo is a depressed lover who just wants someone who loves him back. I think he is just looking for love. I like his personality where he is not afraid of anything and will do anything for Juliet’s love. He climbed a stone wall just to see Juliet at her balcony. I do not identify with him at all. He is not shy and afraid and I would not relate to him otherwise.

The few shades of Romeo. By Jake Barker

Jake Barker 11/9/13


Romeo is a depressed and love struck boy. Clearly he is not a fighter because in the beginning when the big fight was taking place between the Montagues and Capulets Romeo was never there. He then shows up after the fight alone with his head down and flowers in his hand. “See where he comes. So please step aside; I’ll know his grievance or be much denied.” (Shakespeare Act 1 Scene 1) This quote said by Benvolio Shows that everyone sees Romeo as depressed and that he is never happy. Consequently once Romeo finds true love “Juliet” he does nothing but love for one. “If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin in this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.” (Act 1 Scene 5) Here Romeo this proofs that Romeo is love struck because as soon as he sees Juliet he wants to kiss and sure enough he does.     

What Romeo is like

My initial opinion of Romeo, in "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare was that he was depressed. He was boring, and dreary. After time, he seemed to get happier, after he saw Juliet. He is a love-struck, rebellious guy. He is so, because the love of his life just so happens to be Juliet Capulet, a member of his family's enemies/rivals. Romeo was a member of the Montague family, so the fact that he liked a member of the Capulet family, was even worse. He was first in love with another girl, Rosaline,  so he impulsively fell in love with Juliet. Romeo was kind of indecisive because he wasn't sure what  his life was for, so he spent plenty of time alone. Romeo was also a pacifist in my opinion. Although the Montague's were at a constant war with the Capulet's, he didn't want to fight with them. He apparently didn't believe in war, or anything, he just wanted to be in love."Is she a Capulet? O dear account! My life is my foe's debt." Act One, Scene five. "I conjure thee by Rosaline's bright eyes,"Act one, Scene five This quote shows that he was technically still loyal to Rosaline, when he departed to see Juliet.

Prompt: Character Analysis

     Romeo so far is a guy that falls in love really quick, and he is kind of impulsive, he keeps changing his mind about who he loves. As his friend Mercutio said he is "Romeo! Humours! Madman! Passion! Lover!" even his friend thinks that he is kind of a crazy lover. And so far he has fallen in love with a couple of girls and the only one to love him back is Juliet. I also think that Romeo is not the typical guy, he is more of a lover than a fighter, which you might not find in a guy most of the time. He even talks dramatically, "My lips, two blushing pilgrims". As you can see that quote made it clear that he is very dramatic. But that's what I think Romeo is like so far.

Character Analysis

Romeo is a player,”Leaden feather; bright smoke;cold fire;sick health;wide-awake sleep,which isn't sleep at all!I’m in love...”(Page 37) This is the love that Romeo has for Rosaline, he falls in love so deeply that it makes him sick. “O then, dear saint,let lips do what hands do! They pray. Grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.”(Page 72) This is yet another thing that shows Romeo is romantic but this time he is saying it to Juliet.He also is peaceful because during the fight instead of fighting Romeo was just home and every time there was even close to a fight he wouldn't be in it. Romeo likes to also hang out with friends, before going to the ball at Juliets hes with his friends talking and having a good time.

Character Analysis

My opinion on Romeo so far is, he is very love-struck. What i mean by love-struck is he doesn't know who he loves. At first he loved Rosealine, he didn't even know her, than he meets Juliet and falls in love with her. I am not sure if I like/dislike him. The reason why I am not sure if I like/dislike him is because he needs to make up his mind and figure out who he likes!  I do not identify him because I know who I love, and what I am doing.
If I had to describe Romeo, I would say he is very dramatic. He's dramatic because its almost as if he over reacts over everything. "Too smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss." it goes without saying, this statement didn't need to be as detailed and, awkward... He's also almost like an 'old school player' for lack of a better phrase. Reason being, he kind of goes after any girl he desires and doesn't care what the consequences. However, Romeo is more of a lover rather than fighter. He chooses to be civil rather than get mad and make it an on going argument.

Romeo Montague's Characteristics



Romeo’s character is very mope at the start because Roslyn his lover wants to be a nun and that is not what Romeo wants. Now that he has found Juliet he has gotten happier and he is now in love with the Capulets daughter Juliet. He finds Juliet at the Capulet party and instantly falls in love. Romeo and Juliet both have a case of love on first sight and they are both very respectful to their families and they love each other every much. "Oh romeo, oh Romeo why are you Romeo deny your father and refuse your name and ill no longer be a Capulet"(pg.84). This shows that Juliet loves romeo and he knows that because he was listening to her. "If your intentions are honorable and your object is marriage  then send me a word tomorrow where and will you will go through the ceremony my life will then be yours" (93).

Discribing romeo?

Romeo is a Montague who doesn't believe in violence, and is love-struck with Juliet,  also he is love-stuck because in act 1 scene 5 Romeo saw Romeo and thought to him self that he wants to marry Juliet .

What i think about that young romeo

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William shakesphere I get a sense that Romeo easily fall I love with any one who is beautiful. I believe that he is because a day before he met Juliet he was in love with a girl named Rosaline who was a nun, and a day later he was love-struck with Juliet. I  also believe that Romeo has a golden tongue "As a rich jewel in Ethiops ear." Also I believe that Romeo is a huge lady's man. "Tickle the senseless rushes with their heels." This quote shows that Romeo tickles women with his tongue, the way he speaks to women. All in all I am not surprised that Juliet fell in love with him.

Oh Romeo, Thou Art Romeo!



In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo is very love-struck.  In act one scene one it states, “Out of favour where I am in love” (Shakespeare 34). This shows that when Romeo sees a beautiful girl, and he falls in love. Romeo feels that time runs by so slow when someone is in love. He could also be considered a lady’s man because he says nice things about women. One thing Romeo says is, “Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear” (Shakespeare 68). This quote shows that he “knows” how to get the women. He always tries to sweet talk them. From the parts we have read, I like Romeo. Romeo always strives for love. He won’t give up on it, even if others want him too. I don’t identify with him at all. This is because I don’t say I’m in love with someone and then say nope, this person is better. If I’m truly in love with someone, I will stay in love with them no matter what.

Romeo's character

So far I think that Romeo is very love struck, a pacifist and he is very not fight worthy. He is love struck because he just wants to fall in love with a girl, so far most of theses women have been very not nice to him and they don't want to be in a relationship with him. He has just now fallen in love with Juliet and it makes him happy because she loves him too so this makes him very love struck about women and how they feel about him. He is also a pacifist this is because he doesn't really want to fight anybody he is sort of nice and sweet about everything. He doesn't even ever show up at the brawls between the two families so I feel this makes him a pacifist. Last i feel that Romeo is not very fight worthy. I feel that he doesn't want to fight anyone and if he did he probably would lose because he is to scrawny. In conclusion, this is what  i think of Romeo so far.
