Character Interview: Romeo
Act 1,
Scene 2

An interview with Romeo in Act 1, Scene 2 of myShakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. 

RALPH: Romeo, you've just been talking to your cousin, Benvolio, and he's encouraging you to forget about the person you're in love with and start looking at other women. 

ROMEO: Yeah, yeah, he's as bad as you. 

RALPH: And just then, as luck would have it, one of the Capulet servants walks by, and he asks you for some help reading a letter that he's carrying. 

ROMEO: That's right. Turns out it's an invitation to a party tonight at the Capulets'. 

RALPH: Yes, and one of the invited guests catches your eye. 

ROMEO: Yes, Rosaline is going to be there. 

RALPH: Rosaline, the woman you're in love with. 

ROMEO: One and the same. 

RALPH: Well, and Benvolio thinks that you guys should go to this party. 

ROMEO: Yeah, he seems to think that if I see Rosaline surrounded by other beautiful women to see how she measures up, I'll realize she's not that special. 

RALPH: Now, this party is at the Capulets'. Isn't that a problem? 

ROMEO: No. I mean, I don't care about all this family drama. We can fly under the radar. 

RALPH: So you'll take Benvolio up on his offer and see if there are other women more beautiful than Rosaline. 

ROMEO: That's not going to happen. The sun itself never saw a beautiful woman since the beginning of time. But of course I'll go—to see her.
