Romeo is too sensitive in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", which .
leads him to react to quickly to the events in the play. Romeo epitomises the .
over sensitive and brooding hero with his instantaneous responses towards .

supposed undying love for Roseline, which gives us an insight to his .
sensitivity that feeds his irrationality as the play develops. The reference to .

Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair skin and kill the envious moon," "Two of the fairest .
stars in all the heaven, having some business, do entreat her eyes The .
brightness of her cheek would shame those stars." Romeo heart is an open.
