Romeo and Juliet
Love at first sight entails feeling something for someone when you see them for the very first time before you speak with them. Beginning to fall in love with someone upon first seeing them, there is something about that person’s physical appearance that has caused this reaction. Many teenagers, in fact, 49% believe in love at first sight. Because of this, teens expect to find love easily. On the other hand, emotions motivate two star-crossed lovers rather than reasoning; their actions lead to their downfall.

When Balthasar informed Romeo of Juliet’s death, he visits an apothecary to buy poison. Romeo went to Juliet’s tomb to see her one last time and then to commit suicide. Romeo feels life is not worth living without Juliet and hopes he will see her in the afterlife. Friar Lawrence soon arrives and discovers Romeo’s body as Juliet is awakening. When she is awake, he asks her to go away with him where he can hide her in a nunnery. Juliet refuses to leave the tomb and tries to glean poison from Romeo's lips to kill herself. “Go, get thee hence, for I will not away./ What’s here? A cup, closed in my truelove’s hand?/ Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end./ O churl! Drunk all, and left no friendly drop/ To help me after?”... (5.3.160-164). When there was not enough poison, she grabbed a dagger and stabbed herself in the chest. The fact that the two are willing to commit suicide because they cannot bear the thought of not being with one another is foolish. There are plenty of other people they could have met and fallen in love with, but they were impulsive and did not think of what could come in the future.
