Comparing Love In Romeo And Juliet

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the couple experiences lustful infatuation rather than love due to physical appearances driving the relationship instead of pure emotion.

Love, if it is healthy or not, is still one of the major feelings that make us excuse another person’s actions. That is because of the aching, longing, soul binding sum of experiences that keep us tethered to this other person. Robert Graves captures all of this nearly perfectly in this five-stanza poem. Symptoms of Love is exceedingly relatable for many, and it can be taken from many perspectives. Letting go of the illusion that we had control in the first place and seeing both sides of the road of love gives us a deeper appreciation for love.

Lust and Love, two of the most confusing words in human history. In Romeo and Juliet William Shakespeare tells a story of two “star-crossed lovers” who tragically took their lives trying to avoid not being together. A sad woeful story. But they were never in love. They were in Lust almost the exact opposite of being in love.

Did you know that Romeo and Juliet is actually a dark story? Romeo and Juliet is the story about the intense love of two people of different families; the Capulets and the Montagues. Inside these two families is a grudge over many generations with several hardships. On the Capulet side you have Juliet and on the Montague side, you have Romeo. The Nurse and Friar Laurence are the two people that know and help Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other and here are some examples of how they help the lovers grow closer to each other.

Honourable judges, respected teachers, and my fellow students. A very good morning to you all. Today I will be speaking on the topic, "O, I am fonrtune's fool!"

Love and hate are two of the most powerful emotions, but love is way stronger than hate. In Romeo and Juliet two people from completely different families fall in love but can’t be together, separation that is unbearable, and when they take their own lives the families are brought together after forgiveness. In Act 3, Scene 1 Romeo kills Tybalt to vengeance Mercutio's death.

I’m starting at where Romeo killed Tybalt, and switching it. A friend of Romeo is angry and kills Tybalt. The Prince is disgusted in how this senseless feud and fighting has become. Then it switches to Juliet, sitting in her room after hearing the news. She cries at first, but cannot cry anymore for Tybalt. Her mother comes in and they talk. Juliet tells her mother that she will willingly marry Paris, but only if they let her wait for a week and mourn for her cousin. Her mother, happy, runs to tell her husband the news. He’s just as happy that she’s being “reasonable”. Juliet, however, has different plans. She plans to run away. She just doesn’t know how though. Three days pass, and juliet still mourns for her cousin, but her mind is on Romeo. A girl

“I don't care how hard being together is nothing's worse than being apart” (Josephine Angelini). Once meant for the star crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, they were a part of feuding families and fell in love together, even if their parents wouldn't agree. Romeo would have done anything just to see Juliet, and be with her. Because, they were a part of their worst enemies family, and weren't allowed to be together or see each other.

Who can be in control of how someone feels? With reading “Porphyria's Lover” written by Robert Browning, and “Adam and Eve” written by Tony Hoagland; they give an insight on how one can feel about love. The poem “Porphyria’s Lover” starts with the speaker inside of a cottage, hearing a strong storm that’s outside. However, the words of “the sullen wind was soon awake, it tore the elm-tops down for spite”, can also mean the speaker has emotions that are dwelling on his mind.

“But now, my lord, what say you to my suit?”(Shakespeare, I.ii.6). Paris must be very anxious in this moment because he wants to marry Juliet but he must first confront her father. When Lord Capulet neither accepts nor declines the offer Paris is probably angered. He is a man that is used to getting what he wants and for him to be put off and pushed aside Paris is probably irritated. In the end, he will probably be more infuriated because Romeo wins over Juliet’s heart. If I were him I would feel very frustrated and discouraged. The ending would have definitely been different if Lord Capulet had just said yes right away. However, I am very glad that he did not say that because Juliet does not love Paris. Although, in that time period,

Is love a special connection or is it something more physical? Throughout many centuries the perspective of love has always revolved around an association that the two people have in common. William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, we see how love is diverse; Romeo talked about Rosaline. He mentioned that he was very depressed and even offered her money to marry him. Today, love is a crave, something that people do not take much time to think on.

Differences exist between real love and infatuation. Real love grows and deepens over a period of time and involves two people knowing each other very well. On the other hand, infatuation is an immature obsession, lacking reason, may not last. The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet a well-known play by William Shakespeare, is about two teenagers who believe are in love and who have to keep it a secret because their families are enemies. The both lovers confuse infatuation and obsession with real love because they rushed things too fast and barely know each other.
