Romeo and Juliet: Response

My favorite character in Romeo and Juliet is Romeo Montague. Not only because he is the main character, and I'm supposed to like him, but because of his amazing qualities. Romeo is determined and has a sensitive heart. He was so heartbroken when Rosaline wouldn't be with him. But he was still determined, and he never actually gave up on her. Well, of course until Juliet Capulet. At first he was shocked she was a Capulet, but he couldn't help his feelings and he was determined to love her the way he couldn't love Rosaline. He will do whatever it takes to be with Juliet, even if it means his whole family will hate him. Romeo also has a kind and caring heart. Whereas his cousins Mercutio and Benvolio are more able to shake things off and forget, and move on. Although, Romeo is more sensitive. I personally believe Romeo and Juliet belong together because they're both young and naive. They both don't know much about the world, or love to begin with. They're just two wanderers who found each other out of misfortune.
