In the Shakespeare play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is very temperamental. Throughout this play Romeo really only goes through three main emotions: hot-headed, madly in love and deep depression. All of these emotions Romeo shows a lot of.
First of all, Romeo is very hot-headed. He kills both Paris and Tybalt in duels. Even though Paris provoked the duel between them, Romeo didn't use his best common sense before fighting over a dead body. He probably killed Paris because he knew that he was going to marry Juliet also and he wanted to get revenge. Also in the duel with Tybalt, he wanted more revenge for the death of Mercutio. "And fire-eyed fury be my conduct now. Now Tybalt, take back thy villain." (III,1,129/130) This literally says that the only reason that Romeo wanted to fight Tybalt was because of revenge.
The second emotion that Romeo has in this play is his madly in love stage. This is the emotion that he shows the most of. Of the hundreds of lines that could exemplify this statement, this one stood out. "Where Juliet lives, and every cat and dog and little mouse, every unworthy thing live here in Heaven and may look on her. But Romeo cannot!" (III,3,32/34) How dramatic is that? He is just saying that everything else, all of which are undeserving to see Juliet, can see her, but he can't because he is banished. It's odd why Romeo gets all depressed about this but he could probably come back to see Juliet which ends up happening. It is understandable that Romeo doesn't want to leave Juliet because they were just married the day before.
Last but definitely not least of Romeo's emotions is deep depression. Such as in the very first scene in the book Benvolio states, "Towards him I made, but he was 'ware of me and stole into the covet of the woods." (I,1,127/127 This really showed how much Romeo wants to be left alone even from Benvolio, his best friend.
