Romeo & Juliet Essay
By: Franklin

Have you ever been so in love that you would give up your life to be with another person? That is greatly the case in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Many question how true Romeo's love for Juliet was because of his infatuation with Rosaline. However, Romeo proved multiple times that he was truly in love with Juliet, and risked his life many times to be with her. Romeo's love for Juliet superseded any other relationships, especially his infatuation with Rosaline.

When a person is truly in love, they would always bring out the best in each other. This is prominent in Romeo. The quote from Romeo "O sweet Juliet! Thy beauty hath made me effeminate, and in my temper softn’d Valour’s steel!”(Act 3, scene , line 110) is a great quote to prove the point. Romeo is saying that his love for Juliet has greatly changed his identity. Juliet made him more effeminate, and softened his temper.Thus, when his enemy Tybalt comes after him, he tried to reason with words instead of fighting.

Furthermore, as soon as Romeo met Juliet, he is no longer depressed, but now playful and happy.

Another example of how they loved each other was the excitement when they first met.

At the party, they truly fell in love at first sight. Romeo loved Juliet much more than he loved Juliet. The quote from the Chorus “Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie, and young affection gapes to be his heir”(Act 2, prologue, line 1) proves the point. The Chorus is saying that Romeo’s old desire for Rosaline is dead, and his new desire for Juliet emerges. Furthermore,Romeo was willing to give up his own identity; his family name and honour for Juliet on the first day they met. The quote from Romeo “My name dear saint is hateful to me, because it is an enemy to thee: had I it written, I would tear the word.”(Act 2, scene 2, line 55) orives the point. Romeo is saying that he hates his last name Montague, because the were at feud with Juliet’s family, the

Capulets.

Finally, Romeo shows his love for Juliet by risking his life multiple times to be with Juliet. A quote to prove this is Juliet telling Romeo “The orchard walls are high, and hard to climb;and the place death, considering who thou art, if any of my kinsmen find thee here.”(Act 2, scene 2, line 63). Romeo risked serious injury by climbing the orchard wall, and risked death if he was seen in the Capulets property, to see Juliet. Furthermore Romeo risked his life again to come back to Verona after he got banished when he heard the news of Juliet. Another example would be the quote from Romeo “Eyes, look you 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”(Act 3, scene 3, line 121). Romeo is saying that

In conclusion, Romeo in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has proven that his love for Juliet is sincere.
