Two feuding families and two star crossed lovers, Capulets and Montagues, Romeo and Juliet. The Capulets and The Montague's hated each other for years. From each of these families come young lovers, Montague: Romeo, Capulet: Juliet. These lovers are doomed from the start. Romeo will do anything for Juliet, and she returns this love. Romeo will even kill himself for her, and we see this in the end. Romeo kills himself because he finds out Juliet is dead. In William Shakespeare's play, "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet", Romeo's obsession with love causes him to be stubborn and impulsive.
Romeo is a very sensitive person. He is in love with being in love. He is obsessed with it. Romeo is explaining this to Benvolio: "Tut, I have lost myself; I am not here/ this is not Romeo, he's some other where" (I.i.185-186). He is very upset with not being in love, he says he has lost himself. In Paul A. Jorgensen's article about Romeo and Juliet, "William Shakespeare The Tragedies" , Jorgensen points out, "Romeo, at first a whining lover of himself in the role of lover, passionate but not truly reaching out to himself, has much to learn" (9). Without being in love, Romeo is very upset and depressed. In trying to discover what was wrong with Romeo, Benvolio realizes is love that depresses Romeo: "I aimed so near when I supposed you loved" (I.i.93). Benvolio knew Romeo gets depressed when he is out of love.
Because of his desire to love, Romeo is very stubborn. In. Paul A. Jorgensen's article, "William Shakespeare: The Tragedies" he says. "Romeo is still young enough to have tearful tantrums and other uncontrolled emotions" (2). Romeo is very stubborn. He can have tantrums and not change his mind about anything. Romeo is very stubborn towards him and Juliet getting married. Before the marriage, he says to Friar Laurence, "Do thou but close our hands with holy words" (II.iiv.6). Romeo really wants to get married to Juliet, and nothing will change his mind.
