When we first meet Romeo in Act 1 of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," he is in a melancholic and despondent mood. He expresses feelings of unrequited love and sorrow due to his infatuation with Rosaline, who does not return his feelings. Romeo's mood reflects his deep unhappiness as he feels isolated and heartbroken, lamenting that love is painful and elusive. This state sets the stage for his eventual encounter with Juliet, which serves as a turning point in the narrative.
When we first meet Romeo, what kind of mood is he in? What is the reason for his mood?
