    Throughout ‘Romeo and Juliet’ there is more than idealistic love shown, like the parental love from the Nurse to Juliet and the friendship Mercutio and Benvolio shared. This love had effects on everyone though because if Juliet and Romeo were known to be loved the feud between the houses may have been worsened and Juliet could've been left disowned if she had not married Paris. “But, as you will not wed, I’ll pardon you: - Graze where you will, you shall not house with me” (Act III: Sc. 5, lines 188-189).

  • Examples Of Lust In Romeo And Juliet

    691 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet the two “so called lovers” are having their lust being mistaken for true love. While critics of the argument will argue that “the couple wouldn't have killed themselves if they were only in lust” the fact of the matter is that they met each other purely on the basis of looks. The first example of the couple’s lust emerges when Romeo sneaks into the Capulet’s party. Just hours after loving Rosaline, Romeo spots a new girl. He then turns to a servant and asks who the girl is,“Oh, doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in Ethiop's ear” (1.5.42-44). This demonstrates

  • Contrasting Views of Love in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet

    In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the views of love held by the character Romeo contrast sharply with the views of Mercutio. Romeo's character seems to suffer from a type of manic depression. He is in love with his sadness, quickly enraptured and easily crushed again on a passionate roller coaster of emotion. Mercutio, by contrast is much more practical and level headed. His perceptions are clear and quick, characterized by precise thought and careful evaluation. Romeo, true to his character begins his appearance in the play by wallowing in his depression over Rosaline who does not return his love:

  • Essay On Love Versus Infatuation In Romeo And Juliet

    1500 Words  | 3 Pages

    First of all, George and Lennie have grown up together and “go everywhere together” (70). They live together and they work together as a team similar to if they were a family. George and Lennie have been together as long as Lennie can remember and they have stuck together their whole lives which shows it is long lasting. Furthermore, no matter how difficult living with Lennie is for George he “wants [Lennie] to stay with [him]” (103-104). George expresses multiple times how easy life would be without Lennie, but the truth is that George needs Lennie and would not want to live without him. Finally, George and Lennie have been together for so many years that “[they] got a future” (115) that they have planned, and work to achieve every day. Someday they plan to make enough money to buy land of their own and have animals, grow crops, and spend the rest of their life together. It is true that Romeo and Juliet were planning on running away and spending the rest of their life together as well, but on the contrary, Romeo and Juliet do not have a long lasting relationship. They believed they were in love because they “ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (1.5.59-60) of the party at the Capulet’s. This is purely infatuation because they only went off of each other’s looks and they both did not know anything about each other. Unlike George and Lennie, they did not take time to build their relationship which proves that Romeo and Juliet do not have a long lasting relationship, and yet again proves that George and Lennie’s relationship is

    Their youthful love plays a big role in their irrational decisions and their love blossoming so intensely and so quickly. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (1.V.52). This quote demonstrates how deeply Romeo is possessed by Juliet, showing their love at first sight. Not knowing that Romeo and Juliet are from feuding families, they fall in love at first sight. The love between Romeo and Juliet continues, despite the bitterness between the two families. “Love give me strength, and strength shall help afford” (1V.1.125) This quote shows how Shakespeare handled an emotion, then translating it into something that gave Juliet strength to continue the Friar 's plan to be with Romeo. The love between Romeo and Juliet makes them forget about their commitments to the world and everyone around them, they both get consumed in a self centered world of

  • The Consequence of Love in Shakespeare's Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet

    1093 Words  | 3 Pages

    Romeo and Juliet choose their own actions through their judgments, which were caused by their belief of everlasting love. Due to their unsound and absurd attitudes, both characters are dazed by love in a puerile manner. The relationship they created was actually built on lust and desperation. Firstly, Romeo is the first character whom shows immature love in the story as a whole. Once Capulet’s party is over, Romeo’s attitude leads him to jump over the wall to Juliet’s house and exclaim to her,” And what love can do, that dares love attempt./Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me”(2.2.68-9). The effect of love caused Romeo to not pay attention to the consequences of jumping over the wall and talking to the daughter of his enemy. The flaw is that he is beginning to think that his love is as hard as nails. It is illogical for Romeo to think this...

Although maybe he believes in love at first sight and is trying to show how strong love can be. Now in this time in the world i think that many people don't really

  • Romeo And Juliet Love Quotes

    798 Words  | 2 Pages

    Romeo and Juliet is arguably the most classic love story in the English language and it portrays to us young, irrational, passionate love. Shakespeare suggests to us that the kind of love that Romeo and Juliet feel towards each other leads lovers to pass in isolation to the world around them because they are so in love. Romeo and Juliet refrain from committing to anyone else as they choose only to act selflessly towards each other. They obtain a strong young love which is a reason why their relationship grows as intense as it does so quickly. Shakespeare makes us think that Romeo and Juliet's love is only a short-term burst of young love, which we know it is short-term, but from the view of a reader, Romeo and Juliet have a very special love.

  • Obsession in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

    Despite what many people think, Romeo and Juliet is not a love story; rather a story of desperation and obsession. People have been reading Shakespeare for hundreds of years and several people have mistaken it for a love story, due to the fact that Romeo loves Juliet so much he is willing to kill himself when he finds her supposedly dead; she does the same when she wakes up to find him dead. But in fact, Romeo is more taken aback by her beauty than he is in love with her. Juliet is intrigued by the fact someone could love her because her parents are very unsupportive of her.
