Relationships In Romeo And Juliet

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the couple experiences lustful infatuation rather than love due to physical appearances driving the relationship instead of pure emotion.

Love is something everyone feels, and is different for everyone. It can make people do things that they could never see themselves doing. It impacts everyone in their day to day lives. In Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, love is shown in a variety of ways and can make people do crazy things. Love can be friendly, forced, or romantic.

There are many emotions that can be considered the “strongest”. But love is undoubtedly the most powerful and uncontrollable emotion a human can feel. It can cause people to think unwisely, without forethought, and with stupidity. When talking about love, it is hard not to bring up William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Throughout the play we see Romeo and Juliet, who are star crossed lovers.

Love. In all its facets and colors, love is understood and accepted as a concept by even the most primitive cultures. But what is love? Many writers have debated this subject. Many works have been produced detailing the understanding individuals had of the concept of love.

Juliet is to be married as “The valiant Paris seeks [her] for his love”(686) and Romeo feels depressed. Juliet doesn’t truly want to be married to Paris and when Romeo comes along and says he loves her, Juliet uses this as an excuse to be ineligible to Paris. At their young ages of 13 and 16 both, don’t truly know love and can’t effectively associate their feelings. The friar feels that"[Romeo’s] love did read by rote, that could not spell'"(707). Romeo is only repeating what he has heard about love, not genuinely understanding what he is saying. He acts impatient and brash, quickly jumping at any chance to say he is in love thinking it will bring him happiness. Moments before he saw Juliet, Romeo claimed that he was deeply in love with Rosaline, although when presented with someone who he deemed as more beautiful he’s questions if, "[his] heart [did] love till now?...For [he feels he has] ne'er saw true beauty till this night" (pg 692). If he had truly been in love with Rosaline then seeing another girl wouldn't have changed his mind, but as he is so young he isn't able to understand that what he felt for both, Juliet and Rosaline was lust. Teenagers act irrationally, based solely on emotion, Romeo and Juliet are too caught up in their feelings to take a step back and consider their

When analysing Romeo and Juliet it becomes apparent that while the two main characters’ lives were said to be predetermined by fate, it is Romeo's deep love for Juliet that acts as the catalyst that sets his fate into motion. Romeo was bound to love juliet but it was Romeo’s deep love for juliet that gets Romeo in to trouble. Additionally, Romeo gets to caught up in the one and only love of his life and when all the sudden it was gone he decided to kill himself. Although Romeo stated, “with love's light wings did I o’erperch these walls”( 2.2.73-75). This would prove that know matter what happens romeo will always go after Juliet/love Juliet. Ultimately, it is Romeo who is to romantic therefor creating the fate for himself and Juliet.

The play Romeo and Juliet has been considered to be the most touching love story of all time, but when you look closer and past all the initial “fantasies”, you see the truth. Romeo and Juliet believed that they were in love because of the mere idea of it, however based on their actions and the short amount of time that the stages of their “love” progressed in, it soon became clear that what they were actually feeling was infatuation.

Juliet, a main character in Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, experiences love in her story. Romeo and Juliet, who are supposed to be enemies and stay away from each other, find each other and eventually fall in love throughout many conflicts. Juliet first meets Romeo after he illegally shows up outside of her bedroom and starts talking about her in a very romantic way. This love that Juliet gains for Romeo then puts them through many family hardships and helps them understand that sometimes you have to fight for what you love and even keep secrets about it. Their love captures them as individuals and throws them against their world, and, at times, against themselves.

Love hit Romeo hard, and he recognizes what he feels; however, it was not until he did love someone that he understood how love feels. When he feels love finally, he experiences more of the peaceful side of it. Juliet shows violent emotions that come with love more than Romeo. She is happy, she cries, and she even becomes irrational. With all these emotions, love is “Like a batik created from many emotional colors…”

From one experience in life true happiness of love cannot be examined. Only through experiencing all the opportunity that is possible, can help to distinguish what is really purposeful to individuals. Parallel to Romeo, Juliet also had a fixed mind of how she was not ready for a marriage. “no more deep will I endart mine eye than your consent gives strength” Juliet does not want an arranged love she wishes the pure and destined love. Juliet only recognizes the purity and innocent side of love but it also has the pain and the hardship that often experienced as love is developed. With experiencing the pain of love, the different perspectives of love can be identified which leads to building a deeper understanding of love. “birth of love it is to me that I must love a loathed enemy” through meeting Romeo, Juliet recognizes the pain that she can experience from love and unfairness and sacrifices that love requires in order to maintain. Even though unfairness and challenges are faced, through those pain, true love and true happiness can be identified throughout life. Courage and patience will be required to be grown to teenagers to endure the pain for happiness.

As Shakespeare composes this tragic love story “Violent delights have violent ends / And in their triumph die, like fire and power, / Which as they kiss consume” (2.6.9). In the play Romeo and Juliet an enchanted love leads to violent ends and consumes two people’s lives until their powerful death. When Romeo first lays eyes on the gorgeous Juliet it is love at first sight. Though their love is authentic and empowering, it is also entirely banned. William Shakespeare writes this masterpiece with much delight but also great sorrow. Romeo and Juliet is the most abiding love story of all time. Shakespeare uses many literary devices in his works. Throughout this story the character Juliet changes remarkably. Shakespeare provides evidence for

Star-cross’d lovers, a phrase first spoken in the theatrical play Romeo and Juliet crafted by William Shakespeare a man whose works have held the apex of the stage for ages. This one of his many wondrous works depicts the fleeting moments between two conflicted youths and their love. Though they were members of rival households who held timeless grudges against one another, they still managed to find a place for their love. However, as the play moves forward the two find themselves slipping down a treacherous slope which ultimately leads their happiness and they themselves to ruin.

Romeo at the beginning of the play doesn't have the most level-headed understand of what real love is and as an example at the beginning of the play he has "fallen in love" with Rosaline and proclaimed that she is the perfect example of a women. Then later on completely forgets about her after seeing Juliet. This gives the reader the sense that Romeo is not very deep in his feelings for women and has a more superficial idea of what love is. Throughout the play though Shakespeare was able to convey how Romeo has matured in his attitude toward love from a shallow desire to a profound and intense passion. His fidelity toward Juliet is quite abstract in the sense that he loves her enough to commit suicide because he feels that he is not able to continue his lie without her which is a demonstration of his faithfulness and loyalty to her. In Romeo and Juliet Romeo is driven by his emotions a lot of the time when making decisions. Examples of him doing this are that because of anger compels him to kill Tybalt in a duel to avenge to death of his friend and despair causes him to take his own life upon hearing of Juliet's death. He also is driven many times by his love for Juliet. Love forces him to make the reckless decision to sneak into the garden of his enemy's daughter and risk death only to catch a glimpse of her. These intense depths of feeing are what drive the character in this story

However, when you decide to take it and embrace it freely, this is when is when people finally decide to open up and be their true self. In the play Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, the author portrays a contrasting theme between how life and death relates with how dramatic their love can be.

Shakespeare’s, Romeo and Juliet, tells the heart wrenching love story of a young man, Romeo, falling hopelessly in love with a girl named Juliet, but there is one issue. These lovers belong to two families, the Montagues and the Capulets, who despise each other. But this fact does not hinder their love for each other. In Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare demonstrates the different view of love the varying characters poses. He shows how love is an abstract concept that everyone defines differently. Shakespeare does this by depicting the contrasting perspectives on love of Romeo, a foolish young boy, and Friar Lawrence, a wiser, older, priest.
