My friend, lets call him Muhammad, happens to be a real life Romeo. He displays almost every trait that Romeo does in Romeo and Juliet; violent, girls find him attractive, and he moves from girl to girl in a matter of seconds.

On the way to The Eagle, the men attempt to persuade the women to enter a bar and try some shrub to which the women protest with “great blushing and giggling, and hiding of faces in elaborate pocket-handkerchiefs” (269). Here, the women’s desires are seemingly to stay out of the pub and refrain from drinking. They appear to be sincere in their declination to accompany their male companions…
