In William Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet,” the character Romeo goes to the party, or feast, at the Capulet household for a few different reasons.

Firstly, Romeo goes to the party in the hopes of seeing his beloved Rosaline, who is a guest at the feast. Despite the fact that Romeo has recently been telling his friend Benvolio that he is hopelessly in love with Rosaline and that she has sworn to remain chaste, he still wants to see her and try to win her over.

Secondly, Romeo goes to the party in order to try to forget about his own problems and drown his sorrows in the festivities. Earlier in the play, Romeo has been upset about being banished from Verona for killing Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. He is also upset about being unable to marry Rosaline, as she has vowed to remain chaste. Going to the party allows Romeo to temporarily escape his own problems and lose himself in the celebration.

Lastly, Romeo goes to the party as a way of acting out against the expectations placed upon him by his family and society. The Montagues and the Capulets are sworn enemies, and Romeo knows that it is not appropriate for him to attend a Capulet feast. However, he goes to the party anyway, perhaps as a way of rebelling against the strictures of his society and his family.

In conclusion, Romeo goes to the party at the Capulet household for a variety of reasons. He wants to see Rosaline, he wants to forget about his own problems, and he wants to rebel against the expectations placed upon him. These motivations come together to drive Romeo’s decision to attend the feast, which ultimately leads to the tragic events of the play.
