Romeo And Juliet Love Theme Essay

Romeo And Juliet Love Theme Essay
The concept of love has always been a controversial topic. Love is a profound and complex feeling developed overtime and involves more than just
looks. Countless individuals are repetitively convinced that they have met 'the one', where in actuality it is only an infatuation that lasts for a short
period of time. This theme is prominent in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. First of all, Romeo and Juliet's relationship is purely physical attraction and
they know nothing regarding the other person's character and personality. Moreover, the short passionateromance that they experience mostly comes
from the thrill of rebelling expectations. Lastly, the fast–paced events leads the characters to make rash and unwise decisions involving their

Romeo and Juliet: Love vs. Lust Essay
True Love Mistaken for True Lust
"An intense feeling of deep attraction." That is the definition of love. Love between a man and a dog, a kid and ice–cream, a mother and her family,
and love between two selfless people. This is true love. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, the feeling of attraction between
the two main characters is not true love. The setting of this play is the streets of Verona, Italy, during a time when arranged marriages at the age of 14
were socially acceptable. Two young teens, Romeo and Juliet, were convinced that they had feelings for each other, but acted more out of lust than
anything else. Lust is defined as "a very strong sexual desire", and it becomes more apparent as the...show more content...
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. . . .
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
As daylight doth a lamp; her eye in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night. (II. ii. 2–6, 19–23)
The previous passage was Romeo describing Juliet as beautiful as the sun, and professing his love for Juliet . At this point, Romeo is in the garden
speaking to Juliet on the balcony. He refers to Juliet as the light of his world, and uses colorful imagery to describe her looks. This is one another
example of the false love that exists. In addition to this quote, the narrator of the play describes Romeo and Juliet as "star–crossed lovers". Another
quote by Juliet describing Romeo in a sexual, lustful way is as follows;
Hist! Romeo, hist!–Oh, for a falconer's voice,
To lure this tassel–gentle back again!
Bondage is hoarse, and may not speak aloud,
Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies,
And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine,
With repetition of "My Romeo! (II. ii. 161–166)
This lust–filled quote proclaimed by Juliet and intended for Romeo is yet another example of false love or love based on looks in their relationship.
Lust is the same as false love, and so this quote can be used as a demonstration of both. Romeo again states his feelings for not Juliet but rather Juliet's

Did Romeo And Juliet Really Love Essay
Romeo and Juliet: Was it Really Love?
'Romeo and Juliet': the most ill–fated tragedy of all time; a tale of the unadulterated strength of Romeo and Juliet's love, pure and young, with power
enough to conquer the hatred of generations even through the veil of death. But, were they really in love? Throughout, Romeo and Juliet's three day '
love' affair, they experience a surfeit of emotions: anger, lust, fear, lust, confusion, lust, excitement, lust, sadness ... more lust and a deep, overwhelming
infatuation with each other, but never love. Romeo's womanising nature and his capricious mind allow him to admire Juliet only for her aesthetic
beauty to the point where he will do anything for lust for her. While Juliet's child–like naivety beguiles...show more content...
From 1595 to 2015, teens have been falling in love, in lust and infatuation then falling straight back out an hour later. Romeo is no exception. Like
many teenage boys, he is impulsive, passionate and most of all a serial womaniser. When first we see Romeo, he is ravaged with dejection and
suffering in the agony of the heart ache of Rosaline's rejection. Romeo appears in this scene as a lovesick puppy in need of nurturing. However,
after failing to acquire what craved from Rosaline, Romeo sees in Juliet an opportunity; an opportunity to manipulate and exploit her affections and,
receiving no resistance, he does. It is not twelve hours later that Romeo presents a proposal of marriage to Juliet, someone whom he had been with
only one hour. Interestingly, this marriage proposal was offered subsequent to a more intimate proposition. This particular invitation was seemingly
unbecoming of a true gentleman, whose duty, as a man who was supposedly in 'love' with Juliet, was to protect and preserve her honour. His words
'O wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?' (2, 2, 125) imply that it was never Romeo's intentions to honour Juliet's integrity as a lady and as one who truly
loved her, but to steal her virtue in an act of lust without even a promise of marriage. Romeo is fickle, cunning and Machiavellian and used these traits
to manipulate

Was Romeo And Juliet Really In Love Essay
The tale of Romeo and Juliet tells a tragic story of a pair of star crossed lovers. But were Romeo and Juliet really in love? This essay will investigate
the play of Romeo and Juliet in order to see if love at first sight was truly possible with this iconic pair.
William Shakespeare was the man who wrote the play Romeo and Juliet, meaning that the play is fiction. So by that account, love at first sight is
fiction and is not a viable reality. The play of Romeo and Juliet is a romantic tragedy. A young couple driven to suicide because they could not be
together is a tragic thing. Shakespeare called attraction love because it made the play all the more tragic. In Act 2 scene 2 Juliet says "Deny thy
father and refuse thy name; or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet." In this part Juliet is contemplating what it is to
be a Capulet and what a Montague is. She seems to be willing to forget her family in order to be with Romeo, who she has not even known for a night.
In today's terms, what Romeo and Juliet experienced when they first saw each other was infatuation. Juliet was thirteen, almost fourteen, she could not
understand what romantic love is like because she has never been in love. Romeo is seventeen, he does not know what romantic love is as well....show

If Romeo and Juliet's families did not hate each other, there would be no suicide, and there would be no reason the two could not be married after
meeting and being infatuated. The reason this is so important is because without this factor the play would most likely not be a tragedy, just a
romance. If Romeo and Juliet had been married for a while, then true love could have been real between the two. Since the two did not know each
other well, and were irrational teenagers, love was not the motivation here, the attraction the two had for each other was the

Romeo And Juliet Love And Conflict Essay
All in all, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet consists of family love, such as when Juliet married the son of her family's enemy and when the Prince got
personally involved in the family feud because his relative, Mercutio, dies in one of their arguments, friendship love, such as when the loyalty Mercutio
and Romeo gets Mercutio killed and Romeo banished, and romantic love, such as when Romeo was madly in love with Rosaline and when Juliet and
Romeo fall in love and get married. In Romeo and Juliet love is emotion of deep affection usually if not always accompanied by conflict. Love and
conflict are the same as comedy and tragedy; two sides of the same coin.

Essay On Romeo And Juliet True Love
The story of Romeo and Juliet has been told to be a tale of true love. But some people may believe this isn't true. True love is defined by Dr. Neder as,
"caring about the health, well–being and happiness of another person to a greater degree than your own health, well–being and happiness,"
(health.howstuffworks.com). This definition helped me understand that Romeo and Juliet's relationship isn't true love. Romeo and Juliet have been
known for liking each other's looks and not for the person they truly are. After Juliet found out Romeo murdered Tybalt she says, "O serpent heart hid
with a flowering face! /Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave? /Beautiful tyrant! Fiend angelical!," (Shakespeare. III. ii. 74–76). The evidence shows that
Juliet knows nothing about Romeo because she believes that since he is a beautiful man he would never murder someone. But is he truly in "love?"
Romeo falls "in love" with Juliet just by looking at her, he has never spoken to her, but he says he's in love, (I. v). It depends what you define as
infatuation. But he seems more infatuated with her looks rather than what is in on the inside. Also many people argue that love at first isn't real
because they are just attracted to what is on the outside. Their relationship is all based on looks so...show more content...
They argue this by saying that they took their lives for each other because they couldn't handle the thought of living without one another, (V. iii). There
is an article titled, 15 Common Causes Of Suicide: Why Do People Kill Themselves?, it states, "Being unable to earn money and provide for yourself
and/or a family can result in significant depression and anxiety," (mentalhealthdaily.com). This evidence sheds light on that people can be in a stable
relationship but still want to kill themselves because of certain circumstances. Romeo and Juliet isn't true love because they killed themselves but
because of many other

Essay On Romeo And Juliet Love
"Young men love with their eyes, then, not truly with their hearts!", Friar Lawrence (103). As Friar Lawrence says in Romeo and Juliet by William
Shakespeare, young men only seek for beauty instead of real love. However, that's the only way to learn what love really is. In this novel, the
"love"of two young teenagers and the hatred between their families lead to a catastrophe that ended killing them. But, who is responsible for the
deaths of Romeo and Juliet? As a priest, Friar Lawrence should've guided Romeo and Juliet into a way of getting them married while no harm could've
been done between their families, but instead, he started a calamity. When Friar Lawrence discovers that Romeo and Juliet "love" each other and that

At this moment, Friar Lawrence should know that marrying Romeo and Juliet wasn't a good idea. "Be off and comfort her. But mind you don't stay
still the night guards start their shift! Then, you couldn't leave for Mantua, where you shall live till the time is right for us to make your marriage
public... (167)", Friar tells Romeo. As a priest and an adult, Friar should try to intervene between Romeo and Juliet's marriage; he knows that Romeo
is a menace to society, and that Romeo and Juliet would do everything for their "love". But, instead of trying to stop Romeo from doing something
worse, Friar is supporting him after Romeo killed Tybalt; consequently, Romeo is now able to do worse things. Additionally, Friar helps Juliet to get
away from the marriage that her father organized between Paris and her. "Go home, be cheerful, and say you'll marry Paris... When you're in bed, take
this small bottle and swallow this distilled liquid... When the bridegroom comes in the morning to get you up, there you are–dead. (197)", Friar tells
Juliet. This results in the Capulets thinking that their daughter is dead, even though she isn't. Because of the help that Friar is providing to Juliet,
Romeo now thinks that Juliet is dead; Friar didn't think about the consequences of the letter not getting in time to Romeo; therefore, Romeo is going
back to Verona–where he shouldn't be, and could get killed because of

Romeo And Juliet Essay About Love
Love Through Shakespeare's Eyes Questions of love and lust have plagued the story of Romeo and Juliet, a romantic tragedy written by Shakespeare
for years. However, the real question would not be whether what the two had was love, but what type of love it was. Romeo and Juliet had a
short–lived relationship bursting with young passionate love, despite family quarrels disputing one another's name. Some say love is purely a
chemical reaction in the brain. Others say it is what separates us from love that shows it most, with some believing that love is life's greatest blessing,
never hurting. It is my belief that Romeo and Juliet had a passionate commitment that never hurt, though costing dearly, with obstacles that proved it
stronger. Love is everything at times when it is tested by the most obstacles. Romeo displays this when he meets Juliet yet again in the balcony scene.
Romeo exhibits this and tells Juliet , "With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls; For stony limits cannot hold love out, And what love can do,
that...show more content...
Of all of the categories, the love of Romeo and Juliet fits into ludus, a playful, youthful affection and pragma, more mature love. The lovers often flirt
with each other, showing ludus to convey their youthful zeal. Romeo often displays this, such as when he says, "How silver sweet sound lovers'
tongues by night , like softest music to attending ears!" (II,ii, 166–167). This excerpt from the balcony scene takes just a portion of their conversation
in which they flirt playfully, which is ludus. Though pragma, the more mature love typically develops between long–term couples after a long period of
time, Romeo and Juliet partially developed this genre of love. The two actively practiced good will, commitment, compromise, and understanding. The
lovers acted more mature than their own parents by overcoming family name to

Romeo And Juliet Love At First Sight Essay
The story of Romeo and Juliet is one of love and terrible tragedy. Many people have argued if it was actually love that they were experiencing, or if
it was just a physical attraction. The article, "Love At First Sight" by Elizabeth Bernstein, provides facts that prove Romeo and Juliet were not in love,
but experiencing strong infatuation with each other. Both Romeo and Juliet were experiencing some sort of heartbreak at the time of their meeting,
causing them to have poor and quick judgement. The article states that both were in a desperate emotional state. Juliet was upset about marrying
Paris, and would have done anything to get out of it. The handsome new boy who had an interest for her was a perfect way to avoid marrying him. It
was so...show more content...
Romeo had just loved another girl, Rosaline, only moments before seeing Juliet and deciding that he had loved her instantly. According to the article, "
Love at first sight is a phenomenon that 15% of people have reported experiencing it. They described it as a once in a lifetime situation." It seems
impossible that Romeo had experienced this with two girls within a few days. As for Juliet, she is only 13 years old. Many studies have found that
children can not love somebody romantically until they have hit puberty. She shows her immaturity towards the beginning of the book, when the nurse
is speaking to her and she gets extremely embarrassed. While she does mature throughout the play, her maturity level at when she first met Romeo was
no where near where it would have to be to fall inlove.
According to the article, three factors are present when you fall in love: "Studies have found: You have to like the other person's physical appearance;
you have to find his or her personality desirable, and you have to feel the other person likes you" The teens had declared their love for each other within
3 hours of meeting. All they knew at the time was that they found each other attractive. This shows that they were infatuated with each other rather than
in love because they knew nothing about each other except their

Romeo And Juliet Young Love Essay
In school, kids always hear couples say they love each other, but is it true? In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare pokes fun at the fickleness
of young love. Everyone knows what happens at the end of Romeo and Juliet. But what is it really? It is a comedic play is hidden as a tragedy. Yes
both the main characters die that makes it a tragedy but if you don't read it carefully you will miss Shakespeare poking at young love.
After the party, Romeo sneaks into the capulet's garden and started talking to Juliet. Juliet wants him to swear their love of something and Romeo picks

Also, there is Paris who is supposed to marry Juliet and he went to Friar Lawrence to ask to marry Juliet to him. Paris says this to Juliet when she
entered the church and started to talk to the Fair and Paris "Do not deny to him that you love me." Paris is very denial about Juliet saying that she
doesn't love him. Paris has rarely spoken to Juliet and keeps saying that they love each other but Juliet's heart is for Romeo but he doesn't know that.
Romeo and Juliet have different definitions of love. Juliet is younger than Romeo but she is more mature. She thinks you need to show that you love
someone not just saying it. Juliet says "Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, brags of his substance, not of ornament. They are but beggars that
can count their worth. But my true love is grown to such excess I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth." Juliet has one definition and Romeo has
another. Juliet gave Romeo a ring but he never gave her anything. Romeo keeps telling Juliet that he loves her but never does something to show it.
Romeo explains to Juliet that "By love, that first did prompt me to inquire.
He lent me counsel and I lent him eyes. I am no pilot. Yet, wert thou as far as that vast shore wash'd with the farthest sea, I would adventure for such
merchandise." Romeo throws the word love out very easily. All he does is sleep with girls and never had a serious relationship. Juliet is the first
relationship he had been serious about. Some people change and

How Is Romeo And Juliet Love Practical
Juliet's attitude towards love can best be described as practical. For example,when Romeo and Juliet are speaking in the Balcony scene, she states
"So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world. In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond." This shows that Juliet is practical in her love for Romeo
because she is saying that she will be true to him if his feelings are as he express. This is because Juliet will only love Romeo if he is sure that he loves
her. In addition, when Romeo says he will swear by the moon, Juliet warns him to "O, swear not by the moon, th' inconstant moon, That monthly
changes in her circle orb, Lest that thy love prove likewise variable." This shows that Juliet's love is practical because she is telling Romeo not to swear

someone involves dedicating your life to them. Romeo and Juliet do dedicate their lives and die so they will not exist with fraught with misery without

Romeo and Juliet
The author, William Shakespeare, efficiently employs various events and characters in the play, Romeo and Juliet, to convey that love conquers all.
Through manipulation of Act 2, Scene 2, also renowned as the 'Balcony Scene', Shakespeare effectively demonstrates how Romeo and Juliet's love
surmounts numerous things, in the play. Additionally, Shakespeare portrays that/how the strength of Romeo's love for his murdered friend Mercutio,
creates a desire for revenge despite potentially receiving death penalty; displaying that Romeo's love for his friend conquers the fear of death.
Furthermore, the final scene also depicts how love triumphs over the terror of death and how the Montague and Capulet parents' mutual love for their
children, Romeo...show more content...
As a friend of Romeo's, Mercutio supports the Montague's in the ancient feud. An example of Mercutio defending the Montague's is when Tybalt,
a member of the loathed Capulet family, abuses Romeo and Mercutio intervenes on Romeo's behalf. Attempting to restore peace, Romeo gets
between the two combatants and Mercutio "hath got his mortal hurt" (Page 149; Act 3, Scene 1) on Romeo's account. In spite of his "life shall
pay the forfeit of peace" (page 17; Act 1, Scene 1), Romeo seeks revenge on Tybalt as he loves his murdered friend. As Romeo kills Tybalt out of
love for Mercutio, Shakespeare suggests that love conquered the thought of being penalized with death. Shakespeare manifests the final scene of
Romeo and Juliet to illustrate how love triumphs over the terror of death and depicts how the Capulet and Montague parents' mutual love for their
children dismisses the ancient feud. The protagonists, Romeo and Juliet's preference of being killed rather than "death be prorogued, wanting thy
love" (Page 91; Act 2, Scene 2), indicates they would rather die than death be delayed without the fulfilment of each other's love. Romeo commits
suicide as he is unaware that Juliet's death is fiction, which results in Juliet finding his corpse when she awakens and stabs herself as they both do not
wish to live with the absence of each other's love. Again, Shakespeare portrays that love conquers the most feared prospect of life:

Essay On Love In Romeo And Juliet
Without any doubt, love is definitely seen as the most prevalent theme throughout the entirety of the play. However, the argument that the romantic
love between Romeo and Juliet is the only kind of love presented in the play is a stupendous understatement. There are many different forms of love
presented in the play, even though the most obvious of those being romantic love between the pair, such as paternal, maternal, unrequited as well as
the love between friends. Within the play, love is viewed as a powerful, passionate and violent entity and in doing so Shakespeare vastly explores the
forcefulness of love and how love has the ability to overthrow a person's fidelity, emotions and even their values and cause them to defy the rules
imposed upon them. Every single form of love introduced in the play is the driving...show more content...
Just as Laura is seen as as an unknown, mysterious figure, so is Rosaline within the play as she makes no appearance. However, the audience
begins to realise quickly that Romeo's love for Rosaline is not true love through various techniques presented by Shakespeare. Shakespeare use a
vast variety of oxymorons while speaking about Rosaline as she is seen as a "heavy lightness, serious vanity" in the eyes of Romeo. The use of
oxymorons effectively emphasises this idea as Romeo's speeches are structured very much in the form of poems and his natural speech, that he uses
while talking about Juliet, is completely forgotten. His love for Rosaline is genuinely seen as a cliched and scripted thing not a heartfelt emotion.
However, the use of oxymorons also allow the audience to understand the complex nature of emotions and experience the inner turmoil Romeo is
facing. Shakespeare portrays Romeo as a love sick person,

Romeo And Juliet Love Essay
The story of Romeo and Juliet is well known for depicting young love. The play Romeo and Juliet has both title characters commit suicide to be
together in the afterlife. This demonstrates the speed and emotion of young love, the dramatic gestures of young love, and the self destructive nature of
love. Shakespeare demonstrates the self destructive nature of young love through the suicides of Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare demonstrates the
speed and emotion of young love involved through Romeo and Juliet. He demonstrates this using the story's timeline which takes place over only five
days. Romeo and Juliet meet at a party and the next day they marry each other. They both convey so much emotion to each other in such a short time.

This drama is no better demonstrated in the real world by the case of Matthew Barnes who in 2008 committed suicide after he and his girlfriend
had broken up with him. Matthew had a bright future a head of him. He had good grades and was a very gifted tennis player and was overall
happy. However he was unable to cope with the break up. He did not want to live in a world where he was not with her and this grief lead to his
suicide. Romeo and Juliet are similar to Matthew. They were both born into families that they would have set for life in. However young love
made them obsessed with each other when they were un able to be together they ended their live. This is the same as Matthew ending his own life
after him not being able to stay with his girlfriend. Another example of the drama of young love comes from the play Romeo and Juliet in a quote
from Romeo. "Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye than twenty of their swords. Look thou but sweet, and I am proof against their
enmity."(2.2,71). Romeo in this line is telling Juliet that he would rather die at the hands of her kinsmen than leave her. Romeo is making the
situation overly dramatic gesture as he, if he were thinking rationally he would realize that in this scenario he would not only lose his life but a
chance of a life with Juliet. He is making Romeo overly dramatic in this scene depicting the fact thank young love by every nature is overly dramatic
because of the nature of this

Romeo And Juliet : The Greatest Love Story
Romeo and Juliet: The Greatest Love Story
Cleopatra and Mark Antony, Lancelot and Guinevere, and Paris and Helena are some of the best and most know love stories of all time. Romeo
and Juliet by William Shakespeare stands far above all of these, and is definitely the greatest love story ever written. This play is renowned for its
passion and is one of the most viewed plays ever, being republished twice in Shakespeare's lifetime. This story also contains several different kinds of
love.
The play is so well known since it shows the deepest example of passion. The proclamation of love for the first time between Juliet and Romeo adds a
great deal of passion to the play, as it helps develop their journey of love. In the balcony scene, Juliet expresses to Romeo, "My bounty is as boundless
as the sea,/My love as deep. The more I give to thee,/ The more I have, for both are infinite" (Shakespeare 2. 2. 133–135). Juliet reveals to Romeo that
the more love she gives him, the more love she has, and that her love for him is limitless. Additionally, the passion that Romeo and Juliet share is
violent and disobedient. As Friar Laurence tells Romeo, "These violent delights have violent ends/And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
/Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey/Is loathsome in his own deliciousness/And in the taste confounds the appetite./Therefore love
moderately. Long love doth so./Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow" (2.6. 9–15). The Friar tries to notify Romeo that his and Juliet's intense passion
may end violently, as they go behind their parents backs to get married. As a result, this passion lead to the lovers death. Little did Romeo and Juliet
know that something so bad could come out of their intense passion. Romeo says,
Oh, here
Will I set up my everlasting rest,And shake the yoke of inauspicious Stars
From this world–wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last.
Arms, take your last embrace. And, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death.
Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide.
Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on
The dashing rocks thy seasick, weary bark.
Here's to my love

(5.3. 19–29). Romeo expressed that he is happy to

Love in ShakespeareвЂ™s Romeo and Juliet Essay
What is love? Is it an object? Is it a feeling? Is it even attainable? Love is everything, it is an object, it is an emotion, and it cannot be bought, stolen,
given. Love can only be found. Love is discovered in the most unthinkable places during the most unimaginable times. It can never be predicted who
you fall in love with or when you do but all you do know is that you are in love and you would give anything for that person, and for your love to
always stay resilient through all other obstacles and distractions. In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Montague's and Capulet's are know and expected
to hate each other until the miracle of love presented its self. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet. They both fell in love when...show more

Once love is found, any obstacle presented will neither diminish nor terminate that love, even when tragedy strikes with the loss of a loved one.
Tybalt, the cousin of Juliet is one of the Capulet's that despises the Montague's and he will do anything in his power to kill them all, and once he
confronted Romeo, he met his fate and died by Romeo's sword. The Prince arrived to the scene and said "Romeo slew him, he slew Mercutio"
(III.i.181), him referring to Tybalt, and once realized, he banished Romeo out of the city. Once Juliet discovered the truth about Tybalt's death and
Romeo's banishment she said in grief "Romeo is banished– to speak that word is father, mother, Tybalt, Romeo, Juliet, all slain, all dead
– Romeo is
banished" (III.ii.122–124). Her heartache for Romeo's banishment more than her cousin Tybalt's death shows that he is her life, her world, and her
breath, and without him she would be nothing and life as she knows is would end, even through tragedy and anguish.
Love is being willing to sacrifice everything for your everything, and giving your family, friends, and life for one person. Romeo gave everything for
Juliet. He risked his family, his friends, his way of living, and his life in the pursuit of his true love. Juliet risked all that was central in influencing her
to be the person she is, even

Romeo And Juliet Essay Love
In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, young love takes an unfortunate turn. Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet are from rival
families and are meant to hate each other. But one night at a party, they see each other from across the room and fall madly in love. In the time span
of a week, they get married that ends in them taking their own lives. In this story, I feel like Shakespeare is trying to say that young love can be
self–destructive but not to the point of killing themselves. Romeo and Juliet are the exception. Romeo and Juliet is a play created to show
Shakespeare's idea of the highest form of love. This play is meant to show what real love is and drastic measures one would take to maintain said
love. Shakespeare seems to believe that love is meant to be the ultimate emotion. Love is the emotion which one would risk their well being to
possess. Shakespeare captures that feeling in the final scene of the play when Romeo and Juliet both end their own lives because they believe that
they will never feel love that is that powerful again. The "suicide impulse" the play shows does not relate to the play's theme of the highest form of
love. But it does show a different theme; young love. Not saying young as their age, but young in the sense that these two...show more content...
Attraction, love, and lust are two completely different things. The definition for attraction is, the action or power of evoking interest, pleasure, or
liking for someone or something. The definition for love is, an intense feeling of deep affection. And then defintion for lust is, very strong sexual
desire. These three words have completely different meanings and all show the difference between Romeo and Juliet's relationship and the
relationships between teenagers today. I feel like the meaning of love today is much different than the meaning of love was back Shakespeare's
