Romeo: Static Character
Throughout the land we see that Romeos impulsive decisions land him in onerous situations. His capricious behavior is demonstrated through with(predicate) his rash love when he immediately moves on, without remorse or second thoughts, from Rosaline to Juliet whom he falls in love with instantly after laying eyes on her. Prior to seeing Juliet, Romeo talks roughly his infatuation with Rosaline, and the torment he suffers when he finds she does not love him back. Upon searching for her at the Capulets party, sees Juliet, when he says, Did my heart love till now?Forswear it, sight For I neer see true beauty till this night, (i. V. 51). His immediate transition between lovers evinces that his love for Juliet was impulsive and irrational. When Romeo hears of Juliets death, he says to himself, Well Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. Lets see for means. (V. i. 34). His first thought is that if Juliet is dead, he must dies too. Without considering any other options or going to Friar Laurence for further details, he acts on a whim and kills himself, when in reality Juliet isnt actually dead.These actions prove Romeo as a static sheath because throughout the course of the pretend, when his love for Juliet ignites, comes to an end, and in other situations, Romeo does not think his decisions through and acts on impulse. Romeo is in love with the idea of beingness in love. Instead of using his head, Romeo only defines love with his eyes and heart. When it comes to emotions, Romeo is impassioned about being in love. Because he unconditionally loves many characters throughout the play, it causes major conflicts.This makes him static because during the play he always lets love, and other emotions, get in the way and never learns from his mistakes. When Tybalt wants a duel Romeo says, To much(prenominal) a greeting. Villain am I none, (III. i. 63) and backs down. After Tybalt starts to insult Romeo, Mercutio gets in between them and is then killed by Tybalt. Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again that late thou gavst me for Mercutios soul, (III. i. 125) Romeo bellows before he stabs Tybalt.Because Romeo loves his friend, he lets his emotions take over and without thinking through his actions, carries them out no matter the consequences. To further prove that this is a static behavior, when Romeo goes to see the Friar and tells him about his love for Juliet the Friar says, Women may fall, when theres no strength in men. (II. iii. 76) By this the Friar means that *women can be excused for being weak, since mean are not stronger. * This has happened to Romeo many times, and this makes him weak and irresponsible when it comes to love.
