Question

Romeo: Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee to-night.

Let's see for means: O mischief! thou art swift

To enter in the thoughts of desperate men.

I do remember an apothecary,

And hereabouts he dwells, which late I noted

In tatter'd weeds, with overwhelming brows,

Culling of simples; meagre were his looks,

Sharp misery had worn him to the bones:

And in his needy shop a tortoise hung,

An alligator stuff'd, and other skins

Of ill-shap'd fishes; and about his shelves

A beggarly account of empty boxes,

Green earthen pots, bladders, and musty seeds,

Remnants of packthread, and old cakes of roses,

Were thinly scatter'd, to make up a show.

Noting this penury, to myself I said

An if a man did need a poison now,

Whose sale is present death in Mantua,

Here lives a caitiff wretch would sell it him.

–Romeo and Juliet,
William Shakespeare

Answer 2

The character traits that Romeo exhibits that lead to his tragic downfall are:

* An overly passionate sense of love

* A tendency to act impulsively

* A capacity for feeling all emotions too deeply

Step-by-step explanation:

Romeo and Juliet show a lot of impulsive reactions as well as a lack of analysis and common sense coming from the principal characters.

Romeo shows in many of his lines these three traits as we can see in these examples:

* I will lie with thee to-night.

* Sharp misery had worn him to the bones

* Noting this penury, to myself I said

* An if a man did need a poison now

We can see a constant use of vocabulary with a strive intention and with the rush of emotions a teenager would have towards love.
