                          1. 'Here's much to do with hate, but more with love' (Romeo, Act 1 Scene 1)
                            1. Romeo’s feelings and emotions about Rosaline not loving him back. Links in with Juliet as he hates that he loves her because they share a forbidden love. Juxtaposition
                            2. ‘Oh, I am fortune’s fool’ (Romeo)
                              1. Though avenging Mercutio's death, he realises too late that Tybalt's death will make it impossible for him to be open about his marriage to Juliet. Links in with the theme of fate
                              2. ‘It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night. As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear --’ (Romeo)
                                1. Similie comparing Juliet to a jewel. Juliet is beautiful and stands out from the crowd. She is impressive, rare and valuable in an emotional sense. Black African slaves would wear jewelery of their masters to impress others
                                2. ‘Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.’ (Romeo)
                                  1. Wasn't really inlove with Rosaline, "Young men's love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes"
                                  2. ‘I defy you, stars!’ (Romeo)
                                    1. Romeo no longer believes in fate. Constant reference to stars, "star-crossed lovers" in prologue. Angry and upset about Juliet's supposed death.
