Romeo and Juliet Response

So far in this play, I am in love with Romeo Montague. Not only because he's the only main character we have been introduced to (Juliet hasn't been that much engaged yet), but because the way he talks about love, you can somehow relate to him. Even if you haven't been heart-broken or if you have, Romeo just takes it to another level of deepness.
For the people that haven't read Romeo and Juliet, Romeo in the beginning of the play, is in love with Rosaline, a girl who doesn't love him back. He is all depressed and is crying a lot, and being just acting like he's worth nothing. He always talks about love and how it has mistreated him, and how he would do anything for Rosaline to love him back. One of my favorite quotes/ lines that Romeo said/says is
      " Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs;
        Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
       Being vexed, a sea nourished with loving tears"
I think that Romeo is really like, a sensitive little guy. Like he loves Rosaline so much, and she doesn't, It makes me kinda feel bad for him. But later on he finds Juliet and dies for her, I think thats what makes the story/play so amazing. The simplicity and depressingness of the love story, really captures the readers attention and really makes is a amazing story to read and think about.
