Rome and Juliet act 1 paper

This is Benvolios comparison of Romeos current love for his new one.

Act 1 Scene 2 Line 84

Benvolio: At this same ancient fiest of Capulet sups the fair Rosaline, whom thou so loves, with all that admire beauties of Verona. Go thither, and with untainted eye compare her face with some that I shall show, and I will make thee think thy swan a crow

This quotes importance is the fact that Romeo will go to the party and go to see Rosaline but instead fall in love with Juliet. To this play this is a key event which leads to Romeo declaring undying love for Juliet and then dying with her.

This is Romeo and Benvolio planning to go to the party they had just heard about
