How does romeo react when the prince banishes him?

Answer 1

Romeo does not like the fact that he is being banished, describing that it is worse than death itself, because of the fact that he will have to live without being able to see the love of his life, Juliet. He throws a temper tantrum, explaining that a fly is more free than he, and that fly will be able to see Juliet, but Romeo will not. Friar Lawrence tells Romeo to man up, and to be thankful for the fact that Romeo is not going to be put on death's row. Again, Romeo explains how death would be better than banishment.

Answer 2

Romeo reacts with despair and disobedience when the Prince banishes him. He sees banishment as worse than death because it means he will be separated from Juliet. Despite the Prince's decree, Romeo refuses to leave Verona, ultimately leading to tragic consequences.

Answer 3

Romeo was sad because he couldn't be with Juliet any more. In fact Romeo hid and was sulking in Friar Laurence's cell or living area or whatever before he had to leave.

Answer 4

He goes kind of crazy and says he would rather die than be banished. Friar Lawrence talks him out of killing himself, at least for the moment.
