In "Romeo and Juliet", Audience first saw Romeo when he fills with full of sadness. He talks to his cousin, Benvolio that he falls in love with a woman. But "she will not be hit With Cupid's arrow", which means that that woman does not love him. When Benvolio persuades him to find another beauty, Romeo says that he could not forget the one he likes. From this scene, Romeo shows his shy and his persistence of keep chasing a girl. When I first read about this, I thought that Romeo was that kind of person who always fear to show their love to others; have a crush on someone and shy to speak out. He is also the person who once falls in love with someone, it is hard to persuades him to give up. I like to make friends with this kind of person. Because he is kind to others, and when he has problems or secrets, he will shear it with his friends.

For Juliet, her first scene talks about her mom told her that she would have a party to meet with Paris, who will be his husband in the future. When she heard this, rather than accepted her mom's choice, she says that she will look to like. This shows her desire to be in love with someone, and her independent thinking. At that time period, children has to accept his or her parents' decision, but Juliet as the only daughter of Lord and Lady Capulet, use an euphemistic tone to say that she will try, but she might change her opinion. When I read about this part, I noticed that Juliet is a mature person, she has her own thoughts about things. I always respect this kind of people, because no one can changes their will once they decide to do something.

Compare with the character Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is a pretty shy, he will not be the person who start a talk with strangers. Juliet is more open and more optimistic. She always yearns for love. I want to be friends with Juliet, because I think Juliet can always spreads positive motions to people around her. And she is also smart; she can help others to solve problems, and she will not involves in the struggles with her friends. Romeo is kind but because he is afraid of talking with others, it is hard for others to talk with him. But he will help his friends no matter what. Like when Tybalt killed his friends, he would fight back no matter what punishment he would get.
