Characterization
Romeo
For this I choose Romeo. Romeo is from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Romeo is a young teenager who fell quite easily for the young Juliet. Romeo’s personality is highlighted in the very beginning of the book; naïve. He falls in love so quickly and devoted his whole life to a girl he saw at a party. If that were in today’s society people would think he’s insane. He jumps to conclusions very quickly making him immature as well. Romeo is only sixteen years old in the book. He has barely any life experience before he meets Juliet. Romeo doesn’t have the trait of murderous but he does kill Tybalt. He killed Tybalt because he thought he lost his sense of masculinity. He also killed Paris purely
