Romeo Can't Think of Anything but Love - Jaimie R

Act 1 Scene 1 Benvolio says, "Be ruled by me. Forget to think of her," to Romeo and Romeo responds, "O, teach me how I should forget to think!". These lines really stuck with me because it really shows how in love Romeo is. Romeo can not get his mind off of his love and has forgotten how to think of anything else. He is so taken by who he is in love with that it has become impossible for him to even try to think of anything but her. Even though Benvolio tries to get Romeo to think of something else he is unable to move his mind from his love. I found this very powerful in showing how in love he is.
