interested in a woman named Rosaline, and only shortly after is intrigued in a new lady, Juliet. “ God pardon sin! Wast thou with Rosaline” (Act II, Scene III, Line 1104). Analyzing this, we can clearly deduce that Friar Lawrence (who is a older man in the play) is shocked that Romeo has found a new woman (Juliet), who he says makes him feel the same feelings he did for Rosaline. This means that Romeo’s feelings must be construed, as Romeo stated that he loved Rosaline more than anything, but,…

attractive. And never values the girls above what is on the outside: “one fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun ne’er saw her match since first the world begun” in this little spiel he is speaking of Rosaline whom he originally loved in the beginning of the play.

We attempt to achieve our happiness through discovering the path that will appease our emotions and help gain individual complacency. So, in order to achieve true…

Romeo forget about Rosaline. However, it would have benefited Romeo more if he stuck with Rosaline, rather than falling in love with Juliet.

He was in love with the idea of love and as a result of this he falls in love with Juliet the moment he lays eyes on her. At first he falls in love with Rosaline, a girl…

While she is only briefly mentioned, it could lead readers to believe that Romeo’s love for Juliet isn’t as strong as hers is for him. In Rosaline's case, it is an unrequited love, while with Juliet, things move very fast and they end up getting married. “Why, such is love’s transgression.

Were Romeo and Juliet truly in love? Many people think Romeo and Juliet is the greatest love story ever, but there is much evidence that they were not in love at all. In reality, Romeo and Juliet did not know each other long enough to know if they were in love.

They also had…

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is considered one of the finest romances in literature. However a large question comes about, weather or not the two protagonists, Romeo and Juliet, are truly in love. Throughout the play many events take place that question whether the two are really in love, or if they are just over dramatic. They may have died for eachother, but more often than not their love proves to be counterfeit. Juliet marries Romeo to get rid of her name and leave…

loves Rosaline, Capulet’s niece, but she does not love him back. There in the feast, he sees Juliet for the first time. Romeo says to himself, “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight/ For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (Ⅰ.ⅴ.54-55).

This also shows that Romeo’s love is not real because at first he claimed to love Rosaline…
