It is clear that throughout the play Romeo and Juliet have little to no knowledge about each other therefore not only were they, strangers when they first met they remain strangers after. On the first day, they meet Romeo and Juliet know nothing about each other or their situations as evident by this quote, “ ‘What is her mother?’ ‘Marry bachelor, her mother is the lady of the house. And a good lady wise and virtuous I nursed her daughter that you talked withal. I tell you he that can lay hold of her shall have the chinks’ ‘Is she a Capulet? O dear account!

When we are first introduced to Romeo it is quickly evident that he is not only overly dramatic but is also emotionally compromised evident by the following statement,”Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything of nothing first created!O heavy lightness, serious vanity,Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms! Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this.” (1-1-166-173). The emotional and dramatic quote from Romeo describes his feelings after he is told that Rosaline does no longer want to be with him. If the news of Rosaline is no longer wanting to be with him sends into a fit of sadness it is clear that he is uncombable of handling true and real love. Furthermore, it is not just Romeo who is overly emotional Juliet also exhibits this trait as demonstrated after Romeo is banished, she states she would rather die than be without Romeo. In conclusion, both Romeo and Juliet act based on their overly dramatic emotions, therefore, are unable to make clear and understandable decisions and it is very plausible that their overdramatic emotions lead them into believing they were in love even though the feeling were just a culmination of the events that were occurring at that
