Romeo: Static Character

Throughout the play we retrieve that Romeos impulsive decisions get him in onerous situations. His capricious behavior is demonstrated through his foolhardy love when he immediately moves on, without remorse or second thoughts, from Rosaline to Juliet whom he falls in love with instantly after laying look on her. Prior to seeing Juliet, Romeo talks near his infatuation with Rosaline, and the whammy he suffers when he finds she does not love him back. Upon searching for her at the Capulets party, sees Juliet, when he says, Did my heart love trough now?Forswear it, chain reactor For I neer saw true beauty till this night, (i. V. 51). His immediate transition between lovers proves that his love for Juliet was impulsive and irrational. When Romeo hears of Juliets death, he says to himself, Well Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. Lets see for means. (V. i. 34). His first thought is that if Juliet is dead, he must dies too. Without considering any an other(prenominal) options or going to Friar Laurence for further details, he acts on a arbitrariness and kills himself, when in reality Juliet isnt actually dead.These actions prove Romeo as a static character because throughout the course of the play, when his love for Juliet ignites, comes to an end, and in other situations, Romeo does not think his decisions through and acts on impulse. Romeo is in love with the intellect of being in love. Instead of using his head, Romeo only defines love with his eye and heart. When it comes to emotions, Romeo is ardent about being in love. Because he unconditionally loves umpteen characters throughout the play, it causes major conflicts.This makes him static because during the play he always lets love, and other emotions, get in the way and never learns from his mistakes. When Tybalt wants a duel Romeo says, To such(prenominal) a greeting. Villain am I none, (III. i. 63) and backs down. After Tybalt starts to insult Romeo, Mercutio gets in between them and is then k illed by Tybalt. Now, Tybalt, take the villain back once more that late thou gavst me for Mercutios soul, (III. i. 125) Romeo bellows before he stabs Tybalt.Because Romeo loves his friend, he lets his emotions take over and without thinking through his actions, carries them out no event the consequences. To further prove that this is a static behavior, when Romeo goes to see the Friar and tells him about his love for Juliet the Friar says, Women may fall, when theres no capability in men. (II. iii. 76) By this the Friar means that *women can be excuse for being weak, since mean are not stronger. * This has happened to Romeo many times, and this makes him weak and slaphappy when it comes to love.
