In each of these examples, the rebellious actions of distinguished women caused an initially negative impact of chaos with little change in their corrupt society values, but their efforts are ultimately rewarded with the positive impact of common unity within their people to realize the error in their ways (or the ways of their government) and finally, a

It is difficult for her to display her compassion toward anyone, even if she truly feels that way on the inside. Rosa displays “tough love”, being a stern woman. She believes showing her true feeling and being soft to be a weakness. She calls only those she loves “saumensch” or “saukerl”, not to be mean, but because she loves them. However, Rosa’s relationship with Liesel changed toward the end of the movie, allowing herself to show the more loving side of herself twice.
Romeo only wanted Rosaline because he was infatuated with her, not in love with her. Send pity on Juliet, for it seems as if she was only used as Romeo’s rebound, if you may, and like Rosaline, Romeo was simply only infatuated with her. He loved how she loved him, he loved that she gave herself up to him, he loved her naive sense of what love is, but he didn’t love her. Romeo is not in love with Juliet because of his naive sense of love and quick urges to jump from woman to
