In the beginning he was an immature boy who thought he loved a girl called Rosaline‚ but was mournful when he found out the feeling wasn’t mutual.

It is only when Benvolio‚ Romeo’s cousin‚ asks him to attend the Capulet ball‚ so he may compare Rosaline’s beauty with others to make “thy swan a crow”
