Romeo And Juliet True Love Research

Decent Essays
True love over friends What would you prefer, true love or friends and family? If one gives up on their friends and family they will have no one else to have companionship with except their love, what happens if you lose interest in your significant other? Would that mean that you would have no one else to interact with accept strangers.

When someone sacrifices their ties with their family and all friends for true love that means that they have no one else to love them, they gave up on them for love. On page 410 in William Shakespeare's book Romeo and Juliet it is stated by the Friar, “Young men’s love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.” This means that the young man thinks he truly loves a woman, but he doesn’t in reality

    Young men’s love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.” (Shakespeare. 2.3.65-68) Friar Lawrence was quite baffled and sceptical by Romeo’s quick change in interest in love. Kids often change who they love rather quickly, even back when the play was written. People do not tend to ride roller coasters because they like them, they ride them for the thrill they give.…

    “The sweetest honey/ Is loathsome in his own deliciousness/ and in the taste confounds the appetite:/ Therefore love moderately” (II vi 11-14). This warning given by Friar Laurence in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was so painfully ignored that it illustrates the suggestion that this play is not a love story but rather a play of obsession and desperation. Throughout the entire play of Romeo and Juliet, multiple characters are motivated by obsession and desperation disguised as true love.…

    He seems truly passionate for this girl, though she does not love him. He uses Juliet’s affection to dispel his adoration for Rosaline.

Young men’s love lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes” (II.iii.). The Friar makes an important point about young men’s love and how they usually love women based on their appearances.…

    Love is something that cannot be forced, something that cannot be forced. True love is not made by us, it is made by G-d.

In the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, Romeo loves Rosaline in the beginning, but as soon as he sees Juliet he falls in love with her, Romeo loves her for her beauty.

    In Conclusion, I think that Romeo is a young, inexperienced and impatient but loyal and brave boy. I think that his naivety plays a huge rule in this because love was taken as an extravagant feeling to have when it was not truly happy as the lovers can experience heartbreak and many other obstacles. It seems as if Romeo only more cautious and deliberate, his devastating ending could have been prevented (even though we have not finished the book yet). Amongst friends especially Mercutio, Romeo shows signs of his social and quick witted persona, even with his fond of verbal jousting that is mainly about sex. Lastly, Romeo is like every other male in the world who only unveils their true self to the people who they trust or who understand them.…
