Unrequited love
At the beginning of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo presents himself as broken hearted. Rosaline, the object of his affections, has made it quite clear that she has no interest in Romeo. The attached video does not need English captions; the images tell a story about a couple who view love differently. |

Too much love?Imagine Romeo being interviewed by Oprah. How might he behave; what would he say; how would we react? Watch the video: Tom Cruise announces his romance with Katie Holmes. Take a moment to juxtapose Cruise's ostentatious display of affection with Romeo's instant obsession with Juliet (remember, Romeo could think only of Rosaline up to this point). Thus, how genuine is Romeo's love for Juliet in this context? As Rosaline, write a letter to a friend explaining your thoughts about Romeo. Your response needs to be based on what Romeo has said about her. |
