Does Romeo Really Love Juliet?

Romeo makes hasty decisions that end up harming him and the people he loves. In scene three of act five, Romeo drinks the poison to end his life as he proclaims, “Here’s to my love! O true apothecary, Thy

Romeo and Juliet were too impulsive with their decisions. After the ball when Romeo was secretly listening to Juliet announcing her love and he told her that he loved her too Juliet explained to Romeo that if he is caught that the guards will have him dead. Romeo responds “for stony

“The only man I love is the son of the only man I hate! I saw him...and I found out who he was too late! Love is a monster for making me fall in love with my worst enemy” (Act 1, Scene 5, 136-140.) This quote shows that their love was doomed from the start because Romeo was a montague. Their love was already ill-fated, because of their last names and how they came from two different families whom were enemies. “Come, bitter poison, come, unsavory guide! You desperate pilot, let’s crash this sea-weary ship into rocks! Here’s to my love!” (Act 5, Scene 3, 115-117) This shows how Romeo took away his life, because he thought Juliet died when she was still alive. Romeo had already sealed his fate when he took his own life away. “Oh noise? Then I’ll be quick. Oh good, a knife! My body will be your sheath. Rust inside my body and let me die” (Act 5, Scene 3, 168-170.) Juliet woke from the sleeping potion and discovered Romeo was dead so she killed herself. They both died an unfortunate, sad

Romeo and Juliet prove their love for one another. In act three Romeo says this to Juliet. “I must be gone and live,or stay and die...Let me be taken, let me put to death.”(3.5.11-17) In the quote, Romeo risks his life to see Juliet. This shows how much Romeo is willing to risk for Juliet. In the middle of act three Juliet says this to the Nurse. “Weeping and wailing over Tybalt’s corse. Will you go to them…Wash they his wounds with tears? Mine shall be spent, when theirs are dry, for Romeo’s banishment.”(3.2.128-131) The quote states Juliet’s loyalty between Romeo and the Capulets is challenged, and Juliet chose to stay loyal to Romeo. By choosing to stay loyal to Romeo she is risking her life. Romeo and Juliet love each other enough to risk their lives for one another.

He sees love as much more than simply physical, like Mercutio does, but unlike Benvolio, he does not understand how to handle the heartbreak that comes with love. “Th’ exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine” (Act 2 Scene 2 Line 134). Right after meeting Juliet, Romeo sneaks to her house and asks her to marry him. This was simply out of impulse, as just before the party, he was still heartbroken over the fact that Rosaline wanted to become a nun. But as soon as he saw Juliet, he “fell in love”. “Here's to my love… with a kiss I die” (Act 5 Scene 3 Lines 119 and 120). Here, Romeo kills himself because he thought that JUliet was dead. He believed that he was so in love with her that he could not live without her. Romeos irrational behavior ultimately lead to his demise. Although Romeo is a male character, he was very sensitive and had many feminine traits. Shakespeare created Romeo this way to show that it was okay for men to feel attached in love, and so that anybody in the audience that felt similarly to him would be able to

“Romeo, oh Romeo, where art thou Romeo.” This quote is what one would imagine when thinking about Shakespeare and the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet. However, Romeo may not be as tragic of a hero as one would think. In Shakespeare’s tale of Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers are in feuding families and must keep their love secret. As time goes on, Juliet and Romeo fall deeply in love for each other despite their names, and wish for every second to be together. However, their love becomes intercepted when Juliet is told that she shall marry a man she does not like. While Juliet is trying to find a way to be with Romeo and get out of her arranged marriage, Romeo is faced with a duel with his soon to be cousin and his best friend. In a blind rage

When he first hears the news, he says, “Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say “death”. (3.3.12) This shows how emotionally driven, and impulsive Romeo is. Instead of being thankful that he won’t be put to death, like most other people would be, he says that he would rather be dead, than be banished.

I believe that Romeo and Juliet shouldn't be together because Romeo is a very stubborn and arrogant young child who barely know understands the meaning of love and how relationships work both ways and shouldn't be one sided.

The tale of Romeo and Juliet tells a tragic story of a pair of star crossed lovers. But were Romeo and Juliet really in love? This essay will investigate the play of Romeo and Juliet in order to see if love at first sight was truly possible with this iconic pair.

Fate has a huge roll in many books, movies, and plays such as The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. The short has a recurrence of fate for the couple Romeo and Juliet pointing them towards death if they do not part. Shakespeare has multiple characters throughout out his play including the two lovers predict this fate of utter death, meantime they attempt the change the fate they are given, but it seems to always catch back up with them. Romeo predicts his fate many times throughout the play making it known to the audience that his path leads to death. Early on Romeo seems to realize his fate is “some vile forfeit of untimely death”(1.4.118).

Romeo will do anything for Juliet to gain her love. Love drives him to make crazy moves without judgement. Romeo would die for Juliet. That’s how much he adores

This shows us how much Juliet loves Romeo. She would rather die than not be with Romeo. In Act 3, Scene One it says: ¨Till thou shalt know the reason of my love. And so, good Capulet, which name I tender as dearly as mine own, be satisfied.¨ (3.1.72-74). Despite the fact that Juliet is a Capulet- Romeo loves Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet were truly in love because they experienced love at first sight, they married, and they couldn’t live without each other. Did Romeo and Juliet really in love in the play? Romeo was sneaking in the party to find Rosaline to tell her he love her so much. During the party Romeo was look for Rosaline but Romeo find a girl he was staring at her then he fall in love at first sight and Romeo was saying, “Did I ever love anyone before now? My eyes will swear that I never saw real beauty until tonight” (1.5.44).

Romeo and Juliet believe that they are truly in love, I agree with them. Three reasons why I believe that Romeo and Juliet are truly in love is when Romeo took the risk of seeing Juliet on the balcony, they decide to get married, even though they know that it is forbidden, and that Juliet does not marry Paris. Romeo decides to take a very big risk and go and see Juliet on the balcony. If Romeo was caught their would have been a bad outcome. Such as Romeo and Juliet never being able to see each other again.

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.' Erich Fromm. Romeo and Juliet is based on immature love, and is not a true love story. Love is a great source of passion throughout the world. Though love is considered a good emotion, it can also be one of the biggest flaws a person can have. When one is in love, they will basically do anything to be with the one they love. They don’t care about the number of rules they break, or how much they change themselves, as long as they can be with the one they truly love. They may take drastic measures from defying their parents and friends to committing suicide. Shakespeare shows the power of love and the
