At the beginning of Romeo & Juliet...?
Rosaline. Romeo and Juliet is one of the most celebrated romantic stories of all time, with Romeo considered to be the quintessential romantic hero. Upon closer analysis, Romeo can be characterized as a young man transformed by love. This can be seen in Romeo's initial interest in Rosaline, which is superficial and passive in comparison to the more complex and active relationship he develops with Juliet.

Can someone please tell me what these quotes mean?
1: The first is about perceptions and appearances versus reality. To "feign" is to pretend or give the impression of. So man acts as if he is great, but knows he really isn't. Man pretends to be happy, but is really miserable. Man gives the impression that he is loved, but is actually disliked. Etc. When reality overcomes his ability to keep up appearances, he becomes passionately angry. He's angry at knowing that his problems are of his own making. He's mad at the truth. He can't wrap his head around the reality of his situation, and is misdirecting his anger. 2: Mortar holds bricks together in a wall or building. Slime for mortar would be even worse than having no mortar at all. So whatever they built is going to fall apart. They had a very bad plan.
How can you lower your heart rate to fake death?
That would be tough since these days a doctor would be called on to certify a death. A doctor would examine the pulse, especially the carotid pulse, check for heart sounds with his stethoscope, flash a light into the pupils to assess brain function etc. Most likely since the person would be in a hospital there would also be an ECG recording which would show a flat line indicating absence of cardiac activity. Feigning death would be a really tough job in this era before a medical doctor, I'm afraid.That being said let us assume a more hypothetical scenario where you would want to feign death to escape a bad guy. You would want to remain perfectly motionless and create a appearance of no pulse. I did read in an old James Bond novel where they placed a small ball in the arm pit, which when the arm is closed will compress the brachial artery to make the radial pulse disappear. That plus your unresponsiveness should freak out the villain to give you the opportunity to escape!
Is Hamlet's madness real? Why does he start acting insane?
There's no 'data' in a playscript, sorry.However, there's never a point that Hamlet does anything "crazy" that isn't for a purpose, even if that purpose is just to show that he is mad so that other people will treat him as such. However, he says to the audience and Horatio multiple times that he will show himself to be mad.The one possible exception is his railing against Ophelia in 3.1 ("Get thee to a nunnery") where his words match previously expressed feelings against sex, the body, makeup, etc. - feelings that are largely targeted at his mother, even if Ophelia takes the brunt of it in that scene. However, many Hamlets show that he is aware that he is being watched by the King and Polonius, and so even that may be an act. The far more interesting question (I think) is whether the Ghost is a demon or actually the ghost of Hamlet's father. While 'the play's the thing' and we learn that Claudius did, in fact, kill Hamlet's father, the revenge may or may not be the right thing to do. Hamlet himself wrestles with this question until he is poisoned by the king, and revenges himself as much as he does the ghost. The question of whether revenge is right or wrong largely comes from the source of the ghost. And we can't say that the ghost is Hamlet's imagination, as Horatio, Marcellus, and Bernardo all see the ghost before Hamlet does.
