The Immature Of Juliet In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, both Romeo and Juliet are young, however, Romeo is more immature and rash, whereas Juliet is more mature and sensible. To start, Benvolio asks Romeo to forget Rosaline and think about other women. Sounding quite depressed, Romeo asks his cousin, "O, teach me how I should forget to think!" (I. i. 220). Romeo is immature emotionally, as only an immature or childish person would believe that he has no control whatsoever on his emotions - if a more mature person was put in the same situation, they would understand that when thinking rationally, you can control your emotions and react sensibly. Next, after Juliet confesses her love for Romeo, Romeo runs off to ask Friar Lawrence to marry them
