In Romeo and Juliet, each character has a specific role and for the main character, Romeo, seems to be the one who changes the most. Romeo changes throughout the play as he is constantly become mature. As Romeo’s thoughts, feelings and actions have revealed his great changes among all other characters. According to the play, Romeo presented three palpable changes as the followings, he gets over Rosaline right after meeting Juliet, his hatred towards Tybalt changes into love back and forth, and he forgets about his desire to die right after receiving the message from Nurse.
These changes made Romeo’s character even more important and appealing, which presented the love, hatred and violence of play. Firstly, Romeo changes the most because he quickly gets over Rosaline right after meeting Juliet in the first Act. Romeo is first presented as a lovesick boy who is greatly depressed about Rosaline’s refusals. But then, after Romeo encounters Juliet in the Capulet’s party, he apparently forgets about Rosaline and falls in love with Juliet. Meanwhile his mood changes from vulnerable to excited and confident, this has shown that Romeo is quite fickle and immature in love. For example, in the play when Romeo first sees Rosaline in the party he mutters “Did my heart love till now?
Forswear it, sight!/ For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” (I. v. 52-53). He completely forgets about Rosaline that he loved so much before and how fast he falls in love with Juliet at first sight. Also, in the play when Romeo leaves Juliet’s balcony to Friar Lawrence place, he informs Friar Lawrence about his plan for marring Juliet, “With Rosaline, my ghostly father? No!/ I have forgot that name, and that name woe.” (II. iii. 46-47). Romeo even forgets Rosaline’s name with the sorrow she brings him. Indeed, Romeo is becoming positive and enthusiastic about love again while he gets over Rosaline after meeting Juliet.
Soon, Romeo’s love changes to hatred easily. Secondly, Romeo changes the most as his hatred towards Tybalt changes into love back and forth. Regarding Romeo marries Juliet and his love grows deeper than anyone, he becomes more pleasing in front of Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt. For example, although Tybalt tries to draw Romeo into a fight, Romeo convinces him that he loves him as he has secretly become one of his family members by marrying Juliet, “Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee,/ Doth much excuse the appertaining rage/ To such greeting. Villain am I none;/ Therefore farewell; I see you don’t really know me.” (III. I. 58-61).
Since Romeo marries Juliet, he loves Tybalt as a family of Juliet’s and that helps him overcome the anger he should really feels from Tybalt’s insults. However, Tybalt kills Mercutio ultimately and that makes Romeo become really angry. Therefore, Romeo’s hatred exceeds his love towards Tybalt again as he realizes Mercutio dies and he declared, Away to heaven, respective lenity, Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him.” (III. i. 199-126). Romeo loses his temper and looks for revenge for his friend, Mercutio. After he killed Tybalt, he is banished from Verona by Prince Escalus. In this situation, he has completely changed his love to hatred and this also portrayed Romeo’s impulsive and bad temper character. Therefore, Romeo’s hatred towards Tybalt changes into love back and forth made him the character who changes the most throughout the play.
Yet his banishment leads him to a great emotion change afterwards. Lastly, nevertheless Romeo changes from desiring of death into being statisfy and forgets about his mind after receiving Nurse’s message. Thus Romeo realizes banishment might keeps him and Juliet apart from each other, he wishes to be dead instead and he tries to stab himself. Moreover, in the play when Nurse brings Juliet’s ring to Friar Lawrence’s place for Romeo, Romeo forgets about the grief and tears from recieving banishment and becomes comforted right away. “How well my comfort is reviv’d by this” (III. iii. 169) Romeo is greatly satisfied by the ring that Nurse gave him. In addition, in the novel play when Friar Lawrence suggests Romeo should do what his marriage decrees him to do, to climb to her room to comfort her and stays with her the night, Romeo revived and being confident again.
Romeo says “ But that a joy past joy calls out on me,/ It were a grief, so brief to part with thee.” (III. iii. 177-178), meaning that this idea, this joy surpasses all any other happiness, which would be sad if he misses and leaves Juliet so quickly. From this scene, capricious of Romeo’s character is seen once again, also it illustrated his great emotion change in the play. For this reason, Romeo changes the most throughout the play. In conclusion, no doubt that the character who changes the most throughout the play Romeo and Juliet is Romeo because of his great emotional and physical changes from getting over Rosaline right after meeting Juliet, changing his hatred into love towards Tybalt back and forth, and forgetting about his desire to die right after receiving the message from Nurse. Believing that this is also how Romeo as a main character in a romantic and tragic play is developed, becoming a strong man from being a “lost” man, to a revived man all by love and passion.

For as long as I can remember, taking classes physically is a phased out compulsory phenomena. Online learning is now the new trend in town. It is the outspoken way of doing studies. The essence of its introduction and efficiency can only be supported by the day-to-day advancements in technology.
Just to be sure we are on the same line of thinking and understanding; I will break down online learning based on its merits and demerits. The reason for this is because it isn’t the most efficient way of doing classes. Again, it is not the worst depending on individual approaches. In its essence, online learning is basically a decision by an individual to take their classes and tests in an online platform. It rules out physical attendance of classes as every work involved is done virtually. As such, the only reasonable approach is based on personal preferences and commitments.
There are many merits of e-learning. For instance, the most basic one is cost reduction. As there are almost no physical commitments done in physical learning, a student can cut off such costs as in traveling and material resource. Again, there is profound flexibility in both time and financial commitments. As a student can access their classes at any time with the help of a computer and internet connection, they can organize and plan their schedule in a way that favors them. It should also be noted that self-knowledge, self-confidence and material access by learners are enhanced as different self-paced learning modules facilitate successful course completion as learners can select learning materials suiting them. The culmination of all these factors enhances the need for e-learning.
However, e-learning comes along with its downfalls. When poor learners with unmotivated study habits take the option of e-learning, they are sure to fail in structure and routine adaptation. Online schooling is as successful as the efforts an individual puts to realize their potential. Poor internet connections and slow computer systems define a failure path which may affect the general progress of an individual. The lack of physical, social connection can relate to poor grades as confidence is rarely inspired online. It can be noted that instructor’s and student’s availability may not coincide with the basic requirements for accessibility. It can lead to different parts of the education scheme lagging behind.
As such, a person should beware when choosing an e-learning scheme. They should notice that it is not always a win-win situation, but rather a coincidental interaction which only prospers at different levels of complexity. The main logical part of social connections is never enhanced. Humans perform more on instinct that intuition. It means that if a given phase of the study fails, the rest are bound to be inconvenienced. Therefore, e-learning should be encouraged on a need-be basis.
Some truly memorable cues of e-learning are available at different online platforms. By visiting an institutions website and accessing their schedules, requirements, and dedication, a person is best suited to avoid failure. It is through intensive research that they will learn their best line of approach based on the information they come across. Otherwise, the only way to ascertain their chances of success is through going through the system itself.
