Examples Of Pressure In Romeo And Juliet
When one faces pressure, emotions can be misconstrued and make one think something untrue. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the reader would assume that both parties have a solid idea of love itself, however, Romeo confuses love with lust and gets ahead of himself.
One instance would be when he cried over Rosaline because she vowed never to get married (I.1.209-210), after which he fell into a post-Rosaline funk where he could not get over that she would let her beauty die with her (I.1.217). The pressure that Romeo faces is put on him by Benvolio, who pressures him specifically to get his mind off of Rosaline is likely to have made him so susceptible his to his later-found love of Juliet. And though he goes on and on about how much he loves
