Act 1, Scene 1

I think Romeo is a emotionally unstable teenage boy. He is lovestruck for Rosaline, but she does not feel the same way. In Scene 1 of Act 1, in lines 201-202, Romeo states that, "She'll not be hit with Cupid's arrow." This line practically states that Rosaline is uninterested in a relationship. Romeo is also very sad because of this, but his friend Benvolio is trying to cheer him up, by telling to look for other girls. In a more "dumbed down" term, he says, "There are plenty of other fish in the sea."
