    About Romeo, I think most of his personality traits can be connect to the relationship he has with his parents. Basically the montagues relationship with Romeo is the opposite of Juliet's relationship with her parents, who try to hard to control her life rather than allow Juliet to make decisions on her own. While the book and play doesn't show much of Romeo interaction with his parents, it can be imply that, while montagues show concern for their boy, they keep some distant from him, barely even talking or trying to understant their son causing Romeo to grew so desperate to find attention and someone who loves him.

    He is good looking and rich. Just by that, the guy has a plethora of choices among women. Rosalyn took an oath of chastity, Romeo and Rosalyn were never together and they never actually experienced anything together, so he was mostly in love with love. Romeo is attracted then grow attachment of feelings through passing time with Juliet. With words, he accentuates the beliefs of his attraction and love to her, as she reciprocates, the significance of that takes a new framework, it expends, and it's truly what he wanted. As you said, he didn't sleep with her, even though he could. He had his pheromones up, but Romeo truly wanted was an object to worship, and Juliet, who has been treated like trash, all she wanted was someone to worship her and make her feel like she was important. In that way they entered a symbiotic relationship. All the rest that comes in, it's significance that only means something to the both of them, and that literally means nothing out of them, and that's what makes love beautiful, shared meaning between two people, two people believing in each other. Without that, there is only lust. Love is in essence, a psychological reaction to attachment, mixed with words that reaffirm the beliefs in the attachment.

    Great analysis! While I can see why this tragic story is such a classic, I have one big criticism with it: The whole point of the Montagues and Capulets feud is to show how they are both wrong in continue this circle of violence and how end up causing the death of Romeo and Juliet. Both sides (plus the prince) are punished in the end. But here's the thing : The story focus way too much in the capulet, showing their mistakes and how affect Juliet, while Montagues have very few scenes and most of times are portray in a more sympathetic way. The story doesn't even show Romeo relationship with his parents, and most of the scenes they have, they never come off as abusive and demading like Juliet parents (I don't think they would even have a problem with Romeo marrying the daughter of their enemy). This makes the whole ending were they are all punished in the end feel a little unfair since the Montagues barely did anything that lead to Romeo and Juliet death, compare to the Capulets (It was tybalt who killed Mecution causing Romeo to killed him and it's was lord Capulet who forced his daughter to marry Paris).

    I recently was reading the Book of Adam and Eve and I believe that is what inspired Shakepeares play about Romeo and Juliet.

    How the grudge started is addressed in the princes first line. It only shows how ridiculous the whole feud really is because it was just a random comment taken out of hand between the two houses. What isn't addresses was which one said it.

    People like to play the blame game when it comes to Romeo and Juliet.
    Is it Tybalt's fault for picking a fight, Montague and Capulet's for perpetuating this feud, or Friar Lawrence for not coming up with a better plan?
    Personally, I think most of the blame falls on Romeo for being an impulsive and weak-willed character.
    When Mercutio dies, if Romeo had just let the law take its course, he never would've been banished.
    If he wasn't so weak and impulsive when he hears of Juliet's "death", he probably would've been reunited with her.
    At the start of the play, he's crying over Rosaline. But as soon as he sees Juliet, it's like Rosaline never existed. He hasn't even known Juliet for a full week, and suddenly he can't live without her.
    Impulsive, irrational, and illogical horny teenagers.
    But is it Romeo's fault, or is it Shakespeare's fault for writing him that way?

      @@benaniokabi One of the primary themes in Shakespeare's tragedies is fate. These people are just characters in a play that they don't even know is being performed. Shakespeare is the higher power that dooms these characters from the beginning.

    There was never a person alive in England or elsewhere named "William Shakespeare." There was an actor who acted in the plays named William Shakspere (pronounced "Shack Spur"). His name is listed as an actor in some of the plays, with the spelling like his will, William Shakspere. The entire works of "Shake-Speare," always written with a hyphen (a hint to the founding deities of the Rosicrucians), were not written by "any Tom, Dick or Francis," but by the true Bard, Sir Francis Bacon, as was the King James Bible translated by him and the Rosicrucians founded by him.

    Old grouchy here. I see two silly children who should have been doing their school work to mature their brains and volunteering for local charities to mature their sense of gratitude. Maybe at 20, after showing good moral character for years, they could respectfully ask their parents to court, including chaperones. A sensible parent would look back at their child’s good behavior first the last 5+ yrs and allow it. After both win the favor each others’ parents, they’d have been allowed to marry and the stupid feud fades away. The End.

    1) pronunciation of names is off
    2) some elements of story is a bit wrong
    3) opinions shown towards different characters when he shouldn't really (people should learn to make 2 different points of view especially for tests)
    4) states some opinion or inferences as fact (again... he shouldn't really as it's not like that in the play)
