What Does Romeo And Juliet Illustrate About The Nature Of Love

Improved Essays
Romeo and Juliet, ah yes the most known and the most popular play ever written by William Shakespeare, well other than Hamlet and Macbeth. But sadly Romeo and Juliet came in third, but I still find Romeo and Juliette is my personal favorite though. I will be writing about how “Romeo and Juliet illustrate about the nature of love.” As we all should know Romeo and Juliet are from different families or households that absolutely despise of each other. Romeo is part of the Montague family, and Juliet is from the Capulet family. So basically it is almost or is impossible for those two to be together. Especially because Romeo killed Juliet’s cousin, “Tybalt” He was a loved family member especially to Juliet’s parents. But it really wasn’t all his

    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.…

    Infatuation and love are two vastly different types of affection that most people get confused between. It is likely to occur more so among a boy and a girl when they are young and inexperienced as opposed to when they’re grown and matured. Infatuation can easily be mistaken for love in many cases. In Romeo and Juliet infatuation is mistaken for love by the both of them, for what they had between them was not love due to the fact that they were not mature enough, love takes time to develop, and because it was based on physical attraction. Love deals with more than just looks.…

    The effect this has on the audience is that they want to see whether Romeo is caught so overall makes the scene much more intense. Teenage love is Shakespeare's way of making Romeo and Juliet fall in love so quickly and perhaps is the reason why the play is only four days long. And also that they were being reckless because they were young and never really stopped to think about what they were doing. Friar Lawrence: "Young men's love then lies Not truly in their hearts but in their eyes."…
