Character Analysis Romeo

I think that Romeo is love-struck and very emotional. In one of his quotes when he is talking to Benvolio about his love for Razaline He says "Well, in that hit you miss; she'll not be hit with Cupid's arrow, hath Dian's wit, and in strong proof of chastity well armed from love's weak childish bow she lives unharmed. she will not stay the siege of loving terms Nor bid th' encounter of assailing eyes nor ope her lap to a saint-seducing gold; O she is rich in beauty, only poor that when she dies, with beauty dies her store." This quote is showing his love for Razaline and his emotion that he has for her and why he is so depressed. I don't really like him because he is very emotional and very strange and doesn't think before he does something. My reaction wasn't all to surprising because it is a love story and since its a love story, its not hard to guess that he would be emotional. Another quote to show how love-struck he is Romeo says to Juliet the first time they meet "If i profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss." He is then showing that he wants to kiss her and that shows how love-struck he is and after they kiss and leave he goes and tries to find Juliet even though after he knows that she is Capulet and still intends to go after her because he loves her.
