Romeo and Juliet as The Most Romantic Love Story of All Time

Romeo and Juliet as The Most Romantic Love Story of All Time

The dictionary defines romance as sentimental or idealised love. I

agree that some love is romantic but some isn't. I think that romantic

love only occurs when there is nothing evil in it. So there is no

Jealousy, hatred or competition between the lovers. It is also very

romantic when love defies society like it does in Romeo and Juliet. It

is like they are the only two who matter and they don’t care what

anyone else thinks. Romeo and Juliet includes many kinds of love but

over all it is extremely romantic.

I feel that the main aspect of romance in the play is the way Romeo

and Juliet speak about each other, in such a romantic way. When they

meet for the second time, on Juliet's balcony, they use images to

describe each other. Romeo compares Juliet to the stars and light, "It

is the east and Juliet is the sun." "Two of the fairest stars in all

the heaven." Romeo thinks that Juliet is brighter than anything else

in the world and he believes that she could make the stars look dim.

Juliet describes her love for Romeo as though it has so much energy

"My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep." Juliet also

compares their love with nature "This bud of love, by summer's

ripening breath / May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet…"

Juliet thinks that their love is so exciting and is developing every

day. Their language is deeply romantic it brings the play alive and

opens your imagination to understand what they are talking about.

Throughout the whole of the play they remain loyal to one another.

When Romeo has been banished he is determined to be with Juliet no

matter what or he will kill himself. At first he wants to die but then

he treats it as another obstacle they have to defeat.

Juliet doesn’t take the easy way out when her father is trying to

force her to marry Paris.
