Romeo and Juliet 9

A detailed Summary of Romeo and Juliet 9

In the play 'Romeo and Juliet', we see many aspects of Romeo's personality and character. There is a link between all of his personalities; they are all severely extreme personalities e.g.:

· At the start of the play, we see that he is a 'wet drip' he is depressed and miserable because of his infatuated love for Rosaline but it is unrequited love from Rosaline. This mood of his goes to the extreme- he does not go out during daytime only at night, he weeps, and he locks himself out from all light and talks of his misfortune.

· After this, he is happy and joking around in the square, this creates a huge affect in change of nature in his personality. Romeo was the one who started off the joking with

This is not usually like Romeo, as all the joking and micky taking is left to Mercutio. You might expect on Romeo to be prying on everyone who walks past because of the messenger, but instead he is joking - this might be because he doesn't want anyone else to know about the marriage OR that he is to excited.

Shortly after this, he changes back to serious when he is talking to Nurse about the marriage.

When Nurse said that she (Juliet) should marry Paris, it is a bit of a selfish move; this is because Nurse is a 'daisy' and a 'romantic' so obviously to say marry another person is an unwise move. This could have been Nurse's natural spontaneous reaction although Juliet has spent the night with Romeo and are in love where as she does not love Paris. Another reason why it was a disagreeable reply was because in them days if you were married to two people you would be committing adultery, they would believe it as a sin and you would go to hell, you would also be excommunicated from the church.

l is joyful towards the marriage scene and at the marriage scene he takes the extreme again - he acts like he has not seen Juliet for years, they can't wait to get there hands on each other - kissing, Friar Laurence had to separate them.

At the start of the play, we see Juliet as a child, she did not know of love and marriage and obeys her parents every consent, she was a dutiful daughter. It all began to change at the party. When she met Romeo, it was 'love-at-first-sight' this is the amazing speed of the play they touch and kiss and then say they would die if they cannot marry each other and then start talking of marriage; and this was in less then 3 hours!

Nurse is not an extravagant/extreme reactive character like Romeo; it is not because she may be old because she does not act like she is old and if she were old, she would not be rushed about.
