Although this story is an extreme, it’s underlying message is meaningful. Love can never be easy, people cannot coexist with no problem. We’re all human and have our differences. Love can’t be perfect because us humans are not perfect. Theses differences and their effects were displayed by Shakespeare. The most distinguishable difference Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet. They come from two constantly clashing families.
Romeo is the most impulsive character in this play.
Before Romeo met Juliet, he was depressed about a girl named Rosaline. He was in love with her and she had no intention of loving him back. When he talked to his friend Benvolio, he explain his feelings saying , “Why such is love’s transgression. Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast, which thou wilt propagate to have it pressed with more of thine” (i,i, 188-189). As soon as he goes out to a party and sees Juliet, he instantly forgets about her. It was like love at first sight. He says “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight,For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night” (i,v, line 54-55). It’s ironic because a couple hours before he was still on Rosaline. The night of he goes to Capulet grounds to see Juliet. He risked his life to go see a girl he knew for less than a week. “With love’s light wings did I o'erperch these walls,For stony limits cannot hold love out…. Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.” (ii,ii,65-69). He’s trying to show Juliet how he’s willing to take risks for her. He rushes to marry her the next day. His feelings for her causes him to act impatiently and
irresponsibly.
Juliet is impulsive too. When she falls in love with Romeo, she is ready to go against her parents and marry Romeo behind their back. She's aware of how foolish their love seems. She describes it as “It is too rash, too unadvis'd, too sudden"(ii,ii, 118). But she still married him. When he asks her to marry him, she says “I gave thee mine before thou didst request it. And yet I would it were it give again”(ii,ii, 128).
This sense of rushing accurately symbolizes their love and immaturity. But it does lead to their death. They were victims to their own hormones.
