How long does it take for a teenager to grow up? One might say a few years or months, but in the tragedy of Romeo And Juliet,by William Shakespeare, it takes just a week for two teens to grow up. This play is about two star crossed lovers that have fallen in and can’t be together. The young lover Romeo only being from the house of Montague falls in love with Juliet is from the house of Capulet. Romeo and Juliet both mature during the play at certain times. This is a big change that shows through the drama.
First, we start to see the maturity of Romeo. where the first time we see Romeo he’s off on his own sulking about Roseline, a girl he loved, but she didn’t like him back because she promised herself to god. He was taking this heartbreak to his cousin, Benvolio, who decides to take him to a party and that's where he meets Juliet. He instantly fell in love with her as stated in “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night” (I.,iv,52-53). He goes on talking about her beauty, but what he means is that he feels like this is the first time …show more content…
She's doing everything her parents tell her to do, even possibly marry a guy that she doesn't even know to make her parents happy. When she meets Romeo she seems to be slightly more mature than him. When he goes to kiss her she was very hesitant at first, but then allowed it. “Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer” (I., iv, 101). She was talking about praying and how the lips are used for that, not kissing. Then she says, “Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake” (I., iv, 104). She means she promises not to move while Romeo kisses her, as she is taking his “sin” away. Another example of her being slightly more mature is the balcony scene, Juliet was just flirting but Romeo states his love for her and even asking for her hand in marriage whilst she states her love back her intentions wasn’t to get married at
