Read the excerpt from Act I, scene ii of Romeo and Juliet.
Benvolio: Tut! you saw her fair, none else being by,
Herself pois’d with herself in either eye;
But in that crystal scales let there be weigh’d
Your lady’s love against some other maid
85
That I will show you shining at this feast,
And she shall scant show well that now shows best.
Romeo: I’ll go along, no such sight to be shown,
But to rejoice in splendour of mine own.
Romeo decides to attend the Capulets’ party because he wants to
Answers
Romeo decides to attend the Capulets' party because he wants to see Rosaline who will be there too.
Although Romeo says he has a "soul of lead" and believes that he cannot attend the party because he is too much "under love's heavy burden", he is still eager to see the beautiful Rosaline.
Benvolio says:
"At this same ancient feast of Capulet’s
Sups the fair Rosaline whom thou so loves
With all the admired beauties of Verona.
Go thither, and with unattainted eye
Compare her face with some that I shall show,
And I will make thee think thy swan a crow."
In answer to his confident challenge, Romeo replies sincerely:
"When the devout religion of mine eye
Maintains such falsehood, then turn tears to fires,
And these, who, often drowned, could never die,
Transparent heretics, be burnt for liars!
One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun
Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun."
This speech of Romeo is a dramatic irony because later the same hero will be smitten with Juliet and Rosaline will appear to him as a "crow".
