I say this because Benvolio convinces him to go to the party to look at other girls, to get rid of the other lad he is in love with.…

Juliet also feels very obsessed about Romeo and so she quickly asks Romeo to marry her if they love each other so much, “thy bent of love honourable, thy purpose marriage send me word tomorrow”. The feelings that is represented by both ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is very strong and so makes the audience feel adrenaline as they do not know the fate of the two star-crossed lovers also because in the real world perfect love does not exist and so it makes the audience more interested because they can relate to it .
