Juliet wants to please her mother by considering Paris, suggesting she is obedient and trustful of her parents' judgments. Romeo, by contrast, is wildly romantic in his despair over Rosaline which immediately dissipates when he lays eyes on Juliet. Juliet, transformed by the love she feels from their first meeting, becomes more like Romeo: passionate and willing to do anything to be with the person she loves.
