Act 3, Scenes 1-3
I think Romeo and Juliet are very loving and caring yet enamoring characters because they have similar reactions to Romeo's banishment. Juliet is very saddened by Romeo's banishment as she might die a widow before ever truly being a wife. In Act 3, Scene 2, lines 135-137, Juliet says,"But I, a maid, die maiden-widowed. Come, cords; come, nurse. I'll to my wedding bed; And death, not Romeo, take my maidenhead!" Romeo is deeply saddened that he may never be able to see Juliet again. In Act 3, Scene 3, lines 29-33, Romeo says,"'Tis torture, and not mercy. Heaven is here Where Juliet lives; and every cat and dog And little mouse, every unworthy thing, live here in heaven and may look on her; But Romeo may not." Seeing as both are depressed and saddened by the fact that they may never see each other again, I can see that they are both very loving and caring towards each other. However, they have known each other on a personal level for about two or three days and have been married for just a few hours, making me think that they easily fall in love and are very enamoring people.
