Attraction In Romeo And Juliet

Satisfactory Essays
Open Document

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet shows that even though love at first sight is not possible for the characters, immediate attraction still is because of Romeo and Juliet's young age and ignorance. First, when Romeo first sees Juliet he says the phrase "Did my heart love till now? Foreswear it, sight/For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night" (I.V.51-52). This shows that Romeo is immediately attracted to Juliet. However, because of Romeo's young age, it is most likely impossible for him to know what love feels like. Second, when Romeo and Juliet are talking from lines 94 to 113, the reader can tell that they are immediately attracted to one another. However, as is proved in lines 122 and 139, Romeo and Juliet do not even know each other's names
