    Romeo and Juliet I made the characters into flowers, and they were carefully chosen based on what family they’re in and what their personality is. In Juliet’s soliloquy, she compares Romeo to a rose, so he is a rose in the book, and Romeo’s speech in act two compares Juliet to the sun, so she is a sunflower. Since Mercutio is part of neither family, he is portrayed as a tulip while Friar Lawrence’s character is a cactus that is drawn to symbolize a cross because he is a minister. For the names of all the flowers, they were just made to sound similar so the reader can identify who’s who. The color of the flowers that are given to each character is based on the personality of them.…

    To argue the difference in the love between Romeo and Rosaline and the love between Romeo and Juliet is a very difficult thing. Upon taking a closer look at this topic, it is evident that many similarities outweigh the differences between these two loves, and the only thing to contrast between them is perhaps Romeo’s actions. Romeo is young still, in an age range of about 18 to 21, and he is still a maturing young adult. His feelings are mainly led by the hormones raging in his body, which allows for brief spurts of infatuation with possibly numerous young women. The following paragraphs will discuss how Romeo fell for each of the girls, his actions towards them both once he had realised his feelings towards them, discuss the difference between…
