Crushes In Romeo And Juliet

Although William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet shows that teenagers struggle to interpret the difference between love and infatuation,

Romeo is criticized for falling in love with Juliet on the sole basis of physical appearance. What is often overlooked is that it is a reciprocal feeling. Perhaps Juliet was not as forward as Romeo, but she fell in love just as passionately based on his looks; she did not know his first name let alone anything about him.

Juliet is a character who provides romance. She moves the actions in the play. Since the play is about Romeo and Juliet, and her name is even in the title. So we would need her in the play as the female lead. As the female lead, Juliet is the love interest in the play, providing romance.

Love is an emotion many-if not all- desire for in their life, but should a person’s past flings call that love into question? Romeo had strong feelings for two different people in Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, one being Rosaline and the other being Juliet. Romeo’s feelings for Rosaline were more of an infatuation than love, but this does not weaken the credibility of his love of Juliet. There are three reasons that must be taken into account when talking about the connection between his infatuation with Rosaline and his love for Juliet. Many people have infatuations at some point in their lives before they meet someone they truly love, he learns many things from his infatuation that help to deepen his

Love is a topic that has taken over today’s world. From music to movies, everything is now based on the love and relationships between people. However, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, which is arguably the most famous love story in the world, could also be seen as a warning against love. The play Romeo and Juliet shows how platonic and romantic love can cause tragedy.

In the play entitled Romeo and Juliet, two people named Romeo and Juliet fall in love with one another. They are obsessed with one another that they feel as if they should be together all the time regardless of the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues. Being obsessed with one another is a type of romantic crush, not an identity crush which is explained in the article Adolescence and the Teenage Crush. Not only does Shakespeare use romantic crushes in the play, but he also uses identity crushes in the play to show what may happen if parents do not pay close attention to their teens’ relationships.

Throughout William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, two teenagers fall in love. In the end, they kill themselves over one another. Between these two teenagers, only physical attraction was present. The “star-crossed” lovers faced many trials, and ultimately lost. The lack of Amor doomed Romeo and Juliet’s relationship.

When analysing Romeo and Juliet it becomes apparent that while the two main characters’ lives were said to be predetermined by fate, it is Romeo's deep love for Juliet that acts as the catalyst that sets his fate into motion. Romeo was bound to love juliet but it was Romeo’s deep love for juliet that gets Romeo in to trouble. Additionally, Romeo gets to caught up in the one and only love of his life and when all the sudden it was gone he decided to kill himself. Although Romeo stated, “with love's light wings did I o’erperch these walls”( 2.2.73-75). This would prove that know matter what happens romeo will always go after Juliet/love Juliet. Ultimately, it is Romeo who is to romantic therefor creating the fate for himself and Juliet.

The emotion of love is an incredibly complex feeling, as displayed in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.

A lot of families have a lot of different ways they raise their children. While some parents are laid back and let children make their own mistakes, a lot of parents want to make sure their child does what they are supposed to do. Dating is a sensitive topic for teenagers, because a lot of what they do and how they act can be influenced by who their with. Letting teenagers make their own choices can be beneficial to them, but can also hurt them. Being around certain bad influences in a teens life can be long-term changes. Parents should have the right to control who their child dates.

Though some may simply know romantic love as an intense bond between individuals devoted to one another, its effects in reality are not always as beautiful as the concept. Particularly when it is frowned upon by society and the people involved also swim against the current, the consequences of this type of love can be damaging to others outside the romance. In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the actions of the young lovers in their desire to be together not only steer the course of their lives, but also those of their friends, families, and other citizens in the city. The unfortunate series of events following Romeo and Juliet’s choice to reach beyond traditional gender roles, a standard courtship, and their established social networks reveal the importance of complying with these norms. By highlighting the chaos in Verona on the path to Romeo and Juliet’s eventual demise, Shakespeare suggests that intense romantic love that threatens relationships and expectations in the established social order leads to tragedy.

Midterm Extended Response Question How does Shakespeare use both romantic and identity crushes to show that parents should take teenage crushes seriously? Use text evidence from both sources to answer the question. In the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare used many examples of romantic crushes and identity crushes. One of the things that he showed while using these were that all types of teenage crushes need to be taken seriously by the parents, and that teenagers need to tell the parents about them, otherwise it may not end up well as seen in Romeo and Juliet.

If it is either the sacrificial ways or commitment they demonstrate, this love they have can be easily accounted for and seen well round.

Its clear to see that Shakespeare uses both romantic and identity crushes in the story Romeo and Juliet but not only did Shakespeare show the different types of crushes but he revealed the danger of neglect through the main characters parents. He got his audience thinking through his plays. One might wonder if the parents neglect could have ultimately lead to the star crossed lovers death. The answer to that would of course be yes and those inactive parents could have done as little as taking their children's relationships seriously to have saved the doomed teenagers.

Shakespeare portrays Romeo and Juliet as opposites when it comes to past relationship experience but displays Romeo and Juliet as equally emotionally immature when pitted against emotions as complex as love. Juliet’s tentative stance on love is shown by her initial
