In Act 2 Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, why is the figure of Cupid, with his arrows and his blindfold, so appropriate to this play and what does he represent?

Cupid is so appropriate to the play as its central focus is oung love. His present state of being blindfolded signifies the blinding nature of their passionate love and provides an insight (or explanation) into their often rash, unconsidered actions.
