Romeo and Juliet

At the beginning of “Romeo and Juliet”, Romeo is a love-sick boy, but by end, he is a man. Romeo’s language and actions emphasize his attitude and behaviour throughout the play.

At the start of the play, Act 1 Scene 1, Romeo is a love-sick boy. He talks of his love for Rosaline constantly.
“Alas that Love, whose view is muffled still,
Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will!”
His language is very poetical and over-charged, and Shakespeare uses sonnets in this part of the play, which portrays Romeo’s attitude. He is in a depressed state of mind, caused by his love for Rosaline. He over-exaggerates everything he says, and creates a drama.
“Tut, I have lost myself, I am not here,
This is not Romeo, he’s some other where.”
At this point in the play, Romeo is melancholy due to his unrequited love. This is completely changing his behaviour and makes him seem petty and immature.
