Compare And Contrast Romeo And Juliet True Love

Romeo and Juliet have a love for each other, unlike any other love story. They sacrifice plenty of things for eachother. Even if it’s from hiding things that could get them killed to actually dying for eachother. There is nothing that can compare to the love Romeo and Juliet have for eachother. Ultimately, because Romeo and Juliet and willing to make sacrifices for one another, their love does qualify as true love. In Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet are always there for eachother, and sacrificing things. In this essay, you will learn about now Romeo and Juliet love is real, and not just lust. They go places, lose their lives, sacrifice things, and more for each other.

Romeo and Juliet go through a lot since meeting each other. They are considered one of literature’s most exciting couples because they do whatever they can to be with each other. They also share a love that is one of the finest in all of history. Romeo and Juliet are truly in love with each other because they value their time together, they have constant thoughts about each other, and they are willing to sacrifice what either of them has to be together.

Early in the play, Romeo and Juliet meet and instantly fall in love. In the infamous balcony scene, they clearly express their love and decide to get married. Juliet says, “Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed. If that thy bend of love be honorable, Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow, By one that I’ll procure to come to thee, Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite, And all my fortunes at thy foot I’ll lay And follow thee my lord throughout the world,” (2.2.149-155). Juliet has confirmed that she wants to marry Romeo the next day so long as he gives her a notice the next day. Romeo and Juliet are so in love that they are willing to rush into this marriage, not truly thinking of what is about to come next. They don’t stop to think about what this marriage will mean for the rivalry between the families and they don’t understand that maybe it isn’t a good idea. If Romeo and Juliet had considered the trouble that this marriage would cause, perhaps they would not have gotten married so quickly. Later, once Romeo has been banished to Mantua and Juliet is told she must marry another guy named Paris, she is distraught and runs to Friar Lawrence. Once there, Friar tells Juliet of a plan that involves her faking her death using a concoction that will make her appear dead. Romeo will then find her and they will be reunited and live their lives together away from their feuding

Romeo and Juliet were simply too hasty when they decided to get married only after hours of knowing each other. The play uses the phrase, “Love at first sight”. “Love at first sight” isn’t a thing. In the play they fall for each other because of how they look. It isn’t love when it is based on love, that is called lust. Lust is not a reason to marry someone you just met. They barely even knew each other, and they decided to get married within a few hours, there are no circumstances were that’s okay. You can’t “love” anybody when you’ve only know each other for a few hours. Had they not married in the first place, they both would have lived.

Throughout the play, “Romeo and Juliet” Shakespeare conveys that his thoughts on young love is that it is very passionate. The ending of the play where Romeo and Juliet are both dead is, what I think, Shakespeare trying to illustrate how dramatic young love can be because that’s all they know. The decision for both characters to commit suicide makes the young love seem sacred, and in my opinion, made the love between the two seem stronger.

While they believed they were deeply in love, the fact that they “fell in love” and got married within days of meeting is very implausible. Love is defined as a deep feeling of great affection and lust is a very strong sexual desire. Since Romeo and Juliet were just waiting to be alone together, this proves the fact that they were intertwined with lust rather than love. The theme comes out in Act 5, Scene 3, when Juliet says, “‘Go, get thee hence, for I will not away./ What’s here? A cup, closed in my true love’s hand?/ Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end./ O churl! Drunk all, and left no friendly drop to help me after? I will kiss thy lips,/ Haply some poison yet doth hang on them… Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger!/… There rust, and let me die.” (5:3:160-170). She kills herself simply because Romeo is dead. The fact that she made this decision so abruptly and without thought shows that she believed what she had with Romeo was love, but the rest of the story (for example, the balcony scene) shows otherwise. Since the story has convinced most readers that Romeo and Juliet have a lustfulness between them, this proves that lust is stronger than love. It caused both of them to bring death upon themselves without thoughts of how it would impact their families. If they were in love, they would have mourned knowing the other would want them to live on and have a good

Although Romeo and Juliet are often portrayed as two partners who are exceptionally in love, their remarks and impulsive actions throughout the entire play prove that, Shakespeare, the genius behind Romeo & Juliet, was only mocking love and the two “star-crossed lovers” were actually just infatuated with each other.

In Shakespeare’s play about two young lovers, Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers in question were really not in love at all. Instead, they were infatuated with each other. Their affair did not even last a week, and their primary concern was getting married because they wanted to have sex. In the short time that they were together, they made incredibly rash decisions purely based upon their initial lust for each other. Romeo and Juliet never felt true love.

Love can be described as many things, like the feeling you get in your stomach when you see the person you like or even opening the fridge to see that your mom went food shopping, the possibilities are endless but there's one thing for sure, that Romeo and Juliet were not truly in love. The article “Star-Crossed Something-or-Others” by Eric Lamay disagreed with my point. The college professor thinks that Romeo and Juliet’s love was true even though there was “more play than work involved.” I do not believe that Romeo and Juliet’s love was true because true love is built overtime and requires responsibilities, they were only fixated on each other's appearances, and they were both trying to escape from something they hoped to never face.

It almost seems they were too young to understand the concept of love. Romeo was in love with Rosaline just a day before he met Juliet. He was immature and he didn’t know what he truly wanted. He thought that every girl he met was his soulmate. Romeo and Juliet say they love each other more than anything on the night they met.

if romeo and juliet are not in love then why would they have committed suicide over each other. Although this may be true but if you think about it you can not love someone if you don't know them and you can't argue that they got to know each other because you can not get to know someone that faston page it states that romeo and juliet where only together for one less than two days. another words romeo and juliet could have not got to know each other in less than two days and if you don't know someone you can't have love for them. one of the two could be a killer and they don't know it because they haven't had much time to talk. some people might say for the little time they did get to talk they fell in love however they only had a few hours to talk and if you fall in love with someone in a few hours and get married in one day and live happily ever after then you can make that argument.

If the play had not ended with their deaths it would have been more obvious that Romeo and Juliet were in love. But even if Shakespeare had chosen to let Romeo and Juliet live, “love is not necessarily forever, but can be” (Greenberg). Just because there is no certainty that Romeo and Juliet would have loved each other for the rest of their hypothetically long lives, does not mean they did not spend a few days truly in love. According to Greenberg, “Life experience can

The famous work of Shakespeare shows the tragic story of two young lovers. Death became friends with the two feuding families of Verona by taking and giving more they could ever imagine. Most people believe Romeo and Juliet is a romance because of their young love, but the facts prove the play is a tragedy; they fall in love, they cannot be together even when they try, and Romeo and Juliet both die.

Throughout the movie of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a great disappointment because even though that this is a modern day version of Romeo and Juliet they use guns and not swords which defeats the whole purpose of the sword challenge and how you have to stab the person and not shoot them.
