Romeo and Juliet

Romeo's "book of love" implies that women are cruel to men. Men are supposed to be the more powerful of the sexes, but women do have the upper hand. A man can like a woman as much as he wants, but if she isn't going to accept his gestures, it doesn't matter. In the end, it's up to her. It's interesting that women, seen as weak, may be stronger when it comes to love. Men, like Romeo with Rosaline and Juliet, seem to just fall apart when truly in love. They can handle violence, fighting, etc, but love screws them up. Juliet seems a lot stronger than Romeo. As far as Romeo being a predator, men are supposedly the chasers, but Romeo seems like he needs attention from women in general.
