In Shakespeare's “Romeo and Juliet” the two main characters are not really in love because they are immature, they are quiet about their love, and they are strangers.
Romeo and Juliet are not really in love because they are immature. In the text we see that Romeo is immature in relationships. On the way to the masquerade Benvolio says “..., but no sooner in betake him to his legs.” (1.4.32) then Romeo says back to him “A torch for me. Let wantons, light of heart, tickle the senseless rushes with their heels, …” (1.4.33-34). We see in this scene that Benvolio wants Romeo to go dance. Romeo does not want to go dancing, he is just at the party to stare at his beautiful Rosaline. Not much sooner than they enter, Romeo says to a servant, “ What …show more content…
He totally rebounds from Rosaline and is falling for Juliet. We also see that Juliet is immature in relationships because she says “I will not fail; 'tis twenty years till then.” (2.2.171) We see in this excerpt that Juliet is dramatic which shows us that she is immature. She is ready to marry the first boy that comes along! She doesn't know who else is out there. She is young! She is only 13 and already looking to get married. Both Romeo and Juliet are immature, which tells us that they are not really in love.
Romeo and Juliet are not truly in love because they are quiet about their love. In the text Romeo says “ Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such a greeting. Villain am I none.Therefore, farewell.

In the text we see that Romeo and Juliet first meet at a masquerade ball. Romeo says: “Th' exchange of thy love’s faithful vow for mine.” ( 2.2.127) He is basically saying that he will be happy if they plan to get married. We also know that Juliet is just as ready to get married! She says: “What o'clock tomorrow shall I send to thee?” In this excerpt, Juliet is arranging to send servants to Romeo so that they can work out the wedding details. As readers, we believe that they may only have known each other for only about 3-6 hours. This is an incredibly short amount of time to know someone and here they are deciding to get married in this short time period! This is important because they just met! How can you be in love with someone you just met? They barely know anything about the other person. They did not even know what family the other was from until right before the party ended! Because of this textual support we can come to the conclusion that Romeo and Juliet were not really in love at first sight, we think of it more as lust at first
