Because of the intensity of the relationship between Romeo and Juliet and the complex development of events during the few days of the play’s action, the story can certainly seem to take place over a while much longer than the one it occupies. By compressing all the events of the love story into just a few days, Shakespeare adds weight to every moment. It gives the sense that the action is happening so quickly that characters barely have time to react, and, by the end, that matters are careening out of control. This rush heightens the sense of pressure that hangs in the atmosphere of the play. While it may not seem plausible for a story such as Romeo and Juliet to take place for only four days in the real world, this abbreviated time scheme makes sense in the universe of the play.

Romeo is a passionate, extreme, excitable, intelligent, and moody young man, well-liked and admired throughout Verona. He is loyal to his friends, but his behavior is somewhat unpredictable. At the beginning of the play, he mopes over his hopeless unrequited love for Rosaline. In Juliet, Romeo finds a legitimate object for the extraordinary passion that he is capable of feeling, and his unyielding love for her takes control of him.

Juliet, on the other hand, is an innocent girl, a child at the beginning of the play, and is startled by the sudden power of her love for Romeo. Guided by her feelings for him, she develops very quickly into a determined, capable, mature, and loyal woman who tempers her extreme feelings of love with sober-mindedness.

The attraction between Romeo and Juliet is immediate and overwhelming, and neither of the young lovers comments on or pretends to understand its cause. Each mentions the other’s beauty, but it seems that destiny, rather than any particular character trait, has drawn them together. Their love for one another is so undeniable that neither they nor the audience feels the need to question or explain it.

As Mercutio tells Benvolio, he hates Tybalt for being a slave to fashion and vanity, one of “such antic, lisping, affecting phantasy- / ims, these new tuners of accent!. . these fashionmongers, these ‘pardon me's ” (2.3.25–29). Mercutio is so insistent that the reader feels compelled to accept this description of Tybalt’s character as definitive. Tybalt does prove Mercutio’s words true: he demonstrates himself to be as witty, vain, and prone to violence as he is fashionable, easily insulted, and defensive. To the self-possessed Mercutio, Tybalt seems a caricature; to Tybalt, the brilliant, earthy, and unconventional Mercutio is probably incomprehensible. (It might be interesting to compare Mercutio’s comments about Tybalt to Hamlet’s description of the foppish Osric in Act 5, scene 2 of Hamlet, lines 140–146.)

Answer:

I don't admire Romeo's character. He falls in love with Juliet at first sight, and would, quite literally, die for a girl he barely knows. He knew about the family's feuds and still fought to be with her. They spoke on the balcony, but they wouldn't have had any meaningful discussions. How can you fall in love with someone you don't know?

Answer:

The given extract is taken from the play of William Shakespeare "Othello".

Explanation:

The lines are spoken by Iago in Act 3, Scene 3.

Iago is the antagonist of the play and the most villainous among Shakespeare's villains. Iago had manipulated Othello in believing that his wife Desdemona is cheating on him with his lieutenant Cassio. He does so because he is jealous that he was overlooked for this position so he plans revenge.

In the given quote, Iago is trying to convince Othello of Desdemona's unfaithfulness. He asks Othello to keep watch on Desdemona. Othello eventually agrees.
