are you sure

I apologize for the error in my response. The correct answer is that Romeo wishes to attend the party at a Capulet's house because he wants to see Rosaline, whom he is infatuated with at the beginning of the play. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.

is this true for every version of the story

In most adaptations of Romeo and Juliet, including Shakespeare's original play, Romeo attends the party at the Capulet's house because he wants to see Rosaline, who he is in love with at the beginning. However, in some modern retellings or adaptations of the story, the reason for Romeo attending the party may be slightly different. It ultimately depends on the specific version or interpretation of the story being presented.

how can it be different

In some adaptations or modern retellings of Romeo and Juliet, the reason for Romeo attending the party at the Capulet's house may be altered to fit the updated setting or context. For example, in a more contemporary version of the story, Romeo may attend the party for different reasons such as to socialize, rebel against his family, or out of peer pressure. These changes are made to bring new perspectives or themes to the classic story while still retaining elements of the original plot.
