Rosaline

In Romeo and Juliet, Rosaline is the girl who Romeo is in love with at the beginning of the play - and forgets about after meeting Juliet. Rosaline never appears on stage, much less speaks any lines, and is more of a plot device than a character. She’s treated (by Romeo and by Shakespeare) as replaceable and forgettable. But, unlike Romeo and Juliet, she doesn’t die at the end of the play. Rosaline appears on my 2021 debut album as an almost pop-punk piece. I released an acoustic version in 2023.
