Romeo's Character

 Romeo is a sad, passionate character. I know this because he is very torn up about Rosaline not loving him back, even though he has not really talked to her and cannot be sure he actually loves her. He is very passionate about her. On page 190, he says, "...She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair..." and again on page 193, "When the devout religion of mine eye..." This quote means he feels like his love for her is more a religion than an infatuation. This also implies, that she is like a goddess, at least to him. He is extremely distraught because she does not love him. We can tell this because on page 187, Montague is talking about his recent actions. For example, "Many a morning hath he there been seen , With tears augmenting the fresh morning dew...shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out, And makes himself an artificial night." Romeo has been crying a lot and trying to be alone as much as possible.
