Act 1 thoughts

Personally, i find it hard to fathom that Romeo actually loves Juliet as a person, i think it was a physical infatution, at least in the begining. I say this because having read this book twice, and i have thought about the meanings in the book, and there are several parts that made me make this conclusion. The main reason is with Rosaline. Romeo was deeply infatuted with Rosaline, and then suddenly dropped her for when he saw Juliet. Before the party scene, Benvolio said that he would make Rosaline "look thy Swan like a Crow" or close to it. Later Paris seeks hand in marriage with Juliet, but has never met her. So in the play it seems to me to just be about the physical qualties of people. further more during the discourse of the party scene (if i used the vocab word right). Romeo really only talks about the physical attributes of Juliet, and while he compares her to light and saints, he just refers to kissing her. now in the end of the story it probably was actual love, but the begining in my mind was actually just a very deep infatution.
