How are Romeo and Juliet's circumstances both similar and different?

Write your response in five to seven complete sentences.

(I've only read Act 1 up to the end of chapter V.)

Both Romeo and Juliet are very emotional individuals, as both almost immediately fall in love with one another. One significant difference between Romeo and Juliet is that while Romeo is incredibly mercurial, he is moved from depression over Rosaline to ecstasy for Juliet in the span of just a day, Juliet is a little more levelheaded—she tells him to not swear by the inconstant moon.

Hope this helps!
