Romeo and Juliet: Journal #1

(Journal for Act I, Scene I)

I think Romeo, from the inferences I can make right now, is a very emotional person. After he falls in love, he cries all day without doing anything else, just one whole day with pathetic emotions. We can prove this in his actions and words. 

Look at some lines when Lord Montague is describing his son when he returns to home at Act 1, Scene 1, lines 131-133: "And private in his chamber pens himself, shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, and makes him and artificial night". At night, he goes out to the woods and cries all night. When he returns, he locks himself in his room having nothing but sad emotions. These actions shows that he is completely driven by his emotions (love) and nothing else.

Through his conversation with Benvolio, the mood he is in is all shown in his words. I believe that there is no need to quote a specific sentence because any line he says can be quoted! I even feel surrounded by sad atmospheres when he starts talking. Romeo is so sad and emotional that it can be easily spotted in the words he speaks.
