“I Saw Her Standing There” by The Beatles is the perfect description of Romeo’s first encounter with Juliet. The song illustrates a scene in which a girl and a boy meet at a party, fall in love almost immediately, and subsequently make an unvoiced pledge to never leave each other for someone else.

This is not a difficult task, as Juliet is at the same time entirely smitten with him! Although both soon discover that the other is a member of the opposing house, this information does nothing to diminish the passion of their

    Although Romeo attends the Capulet's feast in scene 5 only because he knows Rosaline will be there, his deep feelings of intense romance and compassion for her are soon shifted to another woman. Romeo experiences what he considers to be ‘love at first sight' when he notices Juliet from across the room: "Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear…Did not my heart love till now? (Act 1, sc. 5, Ln.54, 59)." At almost an instance, Romeo forgets about his hopes too see Rosaline, and instead sets his sights on getting to know Juliet. Although at first thought his actions would most likely be considered ‘fickle', Romeo's confessions that he may not have loved until seeing her makes it apparent that (at least to him) Romeo's feelings for Juliet are far more heart-felt.…
