Rosaline, Romeos first love, has made a swear on her life that she would never again love someone. Romeo is deeply hurt by this and that the fact that he is being kept away from his dear Rosaline. Later on, Romeo sees Juliet. Both Juliet and Romeo know that they are destined for each other, not caring about the fact that their families are at war. Juliet will do anything to stop the wedding with Paris. These two occurrences of love are very different because Rosaline and Romeo's relationship was denied and forever to not be successful although Romeo and Juliet's relationship was in a pickle but still possible if Juliet comes out in the end and has the wedding with Romeo not Paris.
When Romeo and Juliet find out who each other is, they are not shocked, but hypnotized by love. Romeo didn't care about who she was except the fact that she was pretty to him. Juliet was worried about him being a Montague and that they may never be together. Juliet's point is true and Romeo is setting that point of view aside. Romeo didn't possibly think of the fact that if he was caught in love with Juliet, his life could be taken.

Cameron - good thoughts on love and on Romeo & Juliet's reactions. I definitely need to see more elaboration on your opinions and citations to support your thoughts. Also, include visuals/features to enhance the appearance of your blog and to show your depth of understanding.
