Romeo and Juliet 1.1 Mythology: The Power of Cupid

The video discusses Cupid, a figure who makes people fall in love by shooting them with arrows, often depicted as blindfolded to symbolize the randomness of love. Romeo complains about Cupid's accuracy, causing pain despite his supposed blindness. The video highlights Romeo's behavior as a rejected lover, typical in love poetry, including a loss of appetite. However, Romeo humorously interrupts his complaints to ask for food, suggesting he may not be as noble in his unrequited love as he portrays.
