Question

In act 1 of romeo and juliet why does romeo wish to attend a party at capulets house

Answer 1

In Act 1 Scene 1 of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo tells his cousin Benvolio that he is madly in love with Rosaline, but that she does not love him back.

Benvolio sets out to help Romeo forget about Rosalind. When, in Scene 2, they encounter Peter, a Capulet servant who was given a list of people to invite to the feast despite not being able to read, Romeo reads the list outloud and finds out Rosalind is attending the party.

Benvolio insists they go to the party so Romeo can find another woman, but in reality, Romeo only accepts because Rosalind will be there.

Answer 2

Benvolio, hearing that Rosaline will be at the party, suggests that Romeo accept the invitation. Because Romeo is in love with Rosaline, he agrees to go to the party in order to watch Rosaline.
