The Real Deal?

My favorite scene in Act 2 of Romeo and Juliet was scene 3. I liked this scene, because it portrayed a love sick Romeo. It was comical in the fact that he just switched out Rosaline for Juliet saying, "I pray thee, chide not. Her I love now. Doth grace for grace and love for love allow.The other did not so." He says this to the friar, this meaning that Juliet loves hm too, unlike Rosaline. So, he switched out the love of his life for someone new. I find this very comical, because Romeo is always trying to find love wherever he is, and he always rushes into things. He is asking the Friar "That thou consent to marry us today." he just meet Juliet, and he already wishes to marry her, because they are so in love with each other. He always falls in love with propels he cannot fall in love with.
     Not only that, but the Friar is shocked saying, "Not in a grave,To lay one in, another out to have."(Shakespeare, 83) this is saying that he told him not to love Rosaline, but he didn't tell him to go find someone else. He didn't expect Romeo to run off and get someone else as quickly as he did. Because then he expresses the fact that sh didn't love him, because she knew Romeo didn't really know what love is. He was just in love with her for her looks, and being a young boy. I find this line comedic, because it shows how Romeo just doesn't yet understand the consept of love, because he always says he has fallen in
love. People can't fall in love and get out of it that quick. This scene ties together the idea of Romeo just wanting to find love in anyway, even if that means dropping one girl for another. I don't think he car what girl it is, as long as he can find someone to love him. This means that could have literally been anyone in this world.
     This scene definitely pulls all of that together, therefore making it my favorite scene. Personally, this scene was very comical to me, because Romeo was just being a teenager, struck in love. He thinks that he should jump into marriage, because it is the only way and they are truly and utterally love, even though they don't know each other that well. It is still almost love at first sight.
