I journaled about Romeo for my project
Throughout the play, Romeo practically did a one-eighty. From his feelings to his life, everything changed. At the start of the play, Romeo was portrayed as a fragile, love-sick child. (well, maybe not a child, but you know what I mean right?) He practically moped about the scenes, his heart broken by his love Rosaline, who vowed to never marry.
Upon receiving information on a party Rosaline would be attending, he was determined to see her. I guess things didn’t go as plan, because Romeo met Juliet instead. He fell face-first in love with her, kissing her after minutes. With her being a Capulet, and him being a Montague, things did not bode well for the young pair. In there somewhere is a marriage, and the quarreling families are secretly joined by “The Powers That Be.” (Yeah, I mean God.) So, Romeo skips off, meeting up with Mercutio and Benvolio. With the luck of a tragedy, Mercutio and Tybalt die and Romeo is banned from Verona.
Romeo high tails it to Mantua with Balthasar. Back in Verona, Juliet is set to marry Paris. Inlay deceit and anger – all that nasty stuff….And voila! Master plan of “killing” Juliet and cue the turmoil. Romeo is lured back home to Juliet’s tomb. He drowns himself in heart-chilling poetry (and a little poison of course.). Just as it happens Juliet wakes seconds later and also kills herself – for real this time – with Romeo’s dagger.
Thus ends this play.
