Romeo and Juliet Act 1

I thought that act 1 was not true to life. I think this because a person can't say that they love one person one day and another person the next. I don't think that Romeo really loves Juliet. I think this because He was in love with Rosaline and said that she was his true love and then that night he goes to one party and falls in love with Juliet. I think that putting Rosaline in the story just complicates things more. I think that this play wouldn't have been such a hit if Shakespeare had written it in modern language. I also think that we should take more about what each section is trying t say better because i think it will be easier for us to understand and get a better hold of it. I have read this book before and for some reason i don't feel like i am getting it more now than i did when i had to read it the first time. I think it is because i do not care for the book and I just get it enough to do well on the test. Other than that I feel it is a little easier to understand the wording of the book because it is my second time through.
