Complicated Love Infatuation is often blind. When you fall head over heels in love with someone, you do not realize some bad choices you make until it is too late. In Verona, Italy, two kids named Romeo and Juliet fall deeply in love. Their parents feud restricted their love therefore, Romeo and Juliet could not be together. They were already foolishly in love and that led to their rash decisions. William Shakespeare wrote this story of something that was much more than love. Pyramus and Thisbe tell a story of a forbidden love that ends in death because of what they do not know. “The Story of Layla and Majnun” also displays forbidden love that ended in death. Since Layla could not be with her love, she died of a broken heart. As a result Majnun

Different Types of Love in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet In Romeo and Juliet, love is an integral theme and there is many representations of love; family love, courtly love, sexual love, and most importantly; the love between Romeo and Juliet.

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is by far the best love story because of all the different types of love that are present. There are many different forms of love in the play but, the ones that show the most are unrequited love, friendship and romantic love.
Though some may simply know romantic love as an intense bond between individuals devoted to one another, its effects in reality are not always as beautiful as the concept. Particularly when it is frowned upon by society and the people involved also swim against the current, the consequences of this type of love can be damaging to others outside the romance. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the actions of the young lovers in their desire to be together not only steer the course of their lives, but also those of their friends, families, and other citizens in the city. The unfortunate series of events following Romeo and Juliet’s choice to reach beyond traditional gender roles, a standard courtship, and their established social networks reveal the importance of complying with these norms. By highlighting the chaos in Verona on the path to Romeo and Juliet’s eventual demise, Shakespeare suggests that intense romantic love that threatens relationships and expectations in the established social order leads to tragedy.

When Juliet says “Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (2,2,35), it is shown that she loves Romeo dearly and that she wishes she was not a Capulet so she could be with him. Also, when Romeo says “ I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve for sweet discourses in our time to come” (3,5,52), in response to Juliet’s questioning of them ever seeing each
