The speaker is writing about an athlete that had passed away at a young age. In this stanza, the speaker is comparing human life to two different flowers. The young athlete is similar to the laurel flower; he blossomed earlier than a rose, but he also died earlier as well.

Write an essay about the thesis of Romeo and Juliet. Use information from the play or book.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

the start of the play, Romeo is a hopeless romantic, That is to say, He is in love with his enemy's daughter 1 day after breaking up with his first love, for example, at the start of the play when Romeo is talking with Benvolio, Romeo says: “bid a sick man in sadness make his will- a word ill urg’d to one that is so ill: in sadness, cousin, i do love a woman.” He is saying that he is in love with Rosaline but a couple days later he is in love with juliet, he say this to juliet: “My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss” He confessing love for juliet even though he just broke up Rosaline, this shows me that Romeo falls for people to easily and he is hopeless romantic who doesn’t understand …show more content… When Romeo finds out about Juliet’s death, he rushes to her tomb only to find paris, kills him, finds juliet and then kills himself. For example, by the end of act 5 he says; “O my love, my wife, Death, that hath suck’d the honey honey of thy breath, Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.” He is explaining how he loves her and she didn’t need to die. Another example is; “Here’s to my love! O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss i die.” He has killed himself over a girl he barely knew. This shows me that Romeo is being dramatic and foolish when he kill paris and himself. In conclusion, Romeo is a foolish young boy who overreacts when a girl he just me dies. In conclusion of this entire essay, Romeo is a victim of fate, Romeo is a rash and emotional young man. He feels deeply and acts quickly, often without thinking through his actions. His attitude towards love is over-enthusiastic. Romeo believes that love is what makes life worthwhile, which is why he is so desperate to be in love. He stays in love with Rosaline, even after she rejects him, up to the point when he falls in love with Juliet.
