Tybalt seems to see Capulet as letting the family down with his positive remarks about Romeo and insistence that Tybalt, rather than Romeo, must leave. Finally and perhaps most importantly, the readers learn that Tybalt has a bitter hatred of the Montague.

4. When Romeo and Juliet discover each other's identity, they both express their despair. Romeo says, "my life is my foe's debt," and follows this with, "the more is my unrest" (Shakespeare Scene V). It is important to note, however, that he said this after Benvolio urges him to leave and Romeo agrees. Thus, it can be drawn from these words that Romeo may be thinking of refraining from pursuing Juliet. Readers can notice that he never says the word "love." Juliet, on the other hand, begins to react with exaggeration from the start. She implies that she will die if Romeo is married, and says she loves him immediately.


5. Romeo's feelings for Juliet seem different than his feelings for Rosaline because his feelings for Rosaline seem to be based only on her physical beauty. This is why Romeo's friends encourage him to attend the Capulet's dinner, in order to compare Rosaline with other women. Benvolio thinks that if Romeo looks at other women, he will realize that Rosaline was not that special. Although Romeo and Juliet do engage in the physical -- kissing and touching -- just after meeting, it seems that there is at least some chemistry between the two, as expressed by their playful banter. Still, both Romeo and Juliet seem like young children feeling an infatuation rather than mature lovers who feel real desire for each other.
