Let Go

Some excerpts from my homework assignment about my first impressions of Romeo after reading Act I Scene I of Romeo and Juliet:

• “Not only is Romeo disgustingly susceptible to the throes of love, but, to give him even less of a back-bone, he is a victim of unrequited love.”
• “…Romeo had fallen into a never-ending well of self pity…”
• “…his ‘love’ is, in actuality, a shallow crush that does not even give the guise of being more than a physical attraction.”
