Rosaline did not love Romeo which made him depressed. If he hadn't been depressed, Benvolio never would have suggested they "Go thither, and with unattainted eye Compare her face with some that I shall show" during Capulet's party since there would be no need to break him out of his depression (Hinds 20). If they never went to Capulet's party, Romeo would not have seen Juliet. He might have met her somewhere/sometime else and had a different and safer reaction to seeing her which in turn would have completely changed the final outcome to the point that Romeo and Juliet would not have died.

Romeo felt overwhelming feelings for Rosaline that he believed to be love. In fact, he claims that since she does not feel the same, he will "live dead, that live to tell it now" (Hinds 15). In other words, he lives in constant sorrow that does not allow him any joy. Because of the strength of his feelings for Rosaline, he believes himself in love. When he then sees Juliet and feels far more for her than he ever felt for Rosaline, he comes to the realization that what he felt for Rosaline must not have been love because it was never as strong. He had set one definition of love that he then modified when he gained more information. However, since he had gone from one "love" to another, he believed whole-heartedly that the second was the "true love" which eventually led to irrational and ultimately tragic decisions. Had Romeo never first fallen in love with Rosaline, this escalation would not have happened so quickly and drastically.]]> 2022-04-27 15:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/micaelabeck1/Bookmarks/wish/2160632447
