If your asking about Romeo from Romeo and Juliet, I think he was the most romantic man to ever be dreamed up. To love that deeply is something I could only hope to know one day. I do think he acted too quickly. They could have had their happiness but just like most men, he was impatient.

Youth is wasted on the young. It is the irony of the human condition that we only realize the fullness of youth when it is gone, and it is too late to benefit from that knowledge. The tragedy of the lovers and their closest relations in the play is not that they died, but that that they died in the flower of their youth. Throughout we are witness to the ecstasy of youth following the will of the heart. It is only when Romeo is in the tomb and about to die that he realizes the loss of youth. It is not at this point that things go wrong, but at the moment when he beholds Juliet and follows his heart instead of his head. Wonderful, yes--in a manner of speaking, but the poet is also making a telling remark on the approaching demise of romantic love in his time. Romeo is a tragic symbol of undying romantic love. How many of us would be willing to die for love alone. We see this again in D.H. Lawrence's Women in Love, but it reappears in a much darker, more fearsome context. B.

He was a silly idiot, but a romantic silly idiot. He went from being heartbroken and in love with one girl to being madly in love with another in the blink of an eye.

I think he was a wonderful idiot. Actually, he was madly in love, and I don't think he could exactly be expected to be acting reasonably. Remember, he was about 16 and in love.

I do agree with the above twos' opinions. However, if you are born within that kind of family and the hatred toward the other, there really isn't much options for you.

He was a rash and unwise young man, too ruled by his passions. He was impatient and foolish, with a tendency to lust after the flesh. Not quite a winner.

I think he gave up too easy and was quick to jump to conclusions.
