Question

In a well-constructed paragraph, describe two ways that Romeo expresses his emotions toward Juliet. Include evidence from BOTH scenes in your response.​

Answer 1

Main Ideas Point of View

Like so much in Romeo and Juliet, the play’s point of view is shared between the two lovers. In the first half of the play, Romeo’s is the dominant point of view. We spend most of our time with him, and he is the character who does most to advance the action. When we first meet Romeo, he is despairing over the unrequited love of Rosaline. Since we see his decision to attend the Capulet party from his point of view, we know he is going in hopes of seeing Rosaline.
