Romeo is portrayed as being totally besotted with Rosaline to the point where he is lovesick and moping because he cannot have his way with her. This literary device of exaggerating his character and behaviour introduces Romeo to us as a sex-mad teenager who will go to any lengths, including gate-crashing a Capulet party, to satisfy his desires. Little wonder he falls madly in love with 13 year old Juliet at first sight and is willing to face death to sleep with her and ultimately to commit suicide when he thinks she is dead.
