What characters are mostly involved with the theme of love versus infatuation in Romeo and Juliet?

The
characters in who are most involved with the theme of true love versus
infatuation are , Rosaline, and . Although Romeo and Juliet have come to symbolize
"true" love, the action of the play does not allow for that interpretation. It is
apparent that both Romeo and Juliet are in the throes of strong infatuation. Romeo simply
transfers his infatuation from Rosaline to Juliet.

As the play opens,tries to
get Romeo to attend the feast at the Capulets' home in order to get his mind off Rosaline,
"whom thou so loves." He's convinced that once Romeo lays eyes on some of the other
pretty women of Verona who will be at the party, he'll quickly forget about his
"love"...
