The first scene of Act 1 reveals how distraught Romeo is that the girl that he loves – Rosaline – is not in love with him. Lord Montague first makes mention of this when he asks Benvolio to find out what is the matter with Romeo because he locking himself in his room, sitting alone in the dark, and has become very depressed lately. Upon asking Romeo what his problem is, Benvolio finds out that Romeo is in love with Rosaline but she tells him that she does not love him back. By the end of Act 1, Romeo has met Juliet and has completely forgotten about Rosaline. By this point, Romeo is no longer upset or depressed and has a much more positive attitude and outlook because he knows that Juliet feels the same about him as he feels about her.
