Impulsive behaviour is something people can do everyday which can affect them for the next few days or the rest of their life. Impulsive behaviour can begin with a small action, and soon result in a huge catastrophe. Whenever acting without thinking about the consequences, you are acting impulsively.

In this line, Romeo demonstrates how superficial his feelings are. He dramatically muses about his "love" for Rosaline to Benvolio. And then suddenly he's able to go from heartbreak and pining to "Where shall we dine?" And then he notices the ruin of the earlier feud. His feelings are shallow here, and his positions are lingering, indicating an impulsive and whimsical tendency. Friar Lawrence even provides foreshadowing to the fact that this rashness will prove to bring about dire results when he
