Forbidden Love In William Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

What is love? This definition from Dictionary.com states that love is “a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend”. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is by far the best love story because of all the different types of love that are present. There are many different forms of love in the play, but, the ones that show the most are unrequited love, friendship, and romantic love.

Love is defined as the intense feeling of deep affection. In the play, Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare, the attraction between the two protagonists, Romeo and Juliet, does not factually classify as true love. Meanwhile, lust is a concept in which is commonly mistaken for love, which is very apparent throughout this classic “love story” of Romeo and Juliet. While others could debate that Romeo and Juliet’s love, was love at first sight, it is debateable that their feelings towards one another were pure lust. Romeo and Juliet are too immature to fully understand the concept of love as they are too young and hormone-driven, they were both in search for escapism from their present troubles, and they had an excessive amount of

Lust can lead to extreme decisions. In the case of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, their

Throughout the plot of Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers rebel against their feuding families, choosing love above all. In the starting events of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is portrayed as a docile adolescent, with exemplary manner. Her extreme loyalty and acquiescent demeanour towards her family is evident. This is observable when Juliet addresses her mother: “Madam, I am here, what is your will?”(I.iii.7) However, this is rapidly altered through the climax of the play, when she finds love with the son of their greatest enemy, Romeo, a Montague. Throughout Romeo and Juliet's’ romance, the two transition into defiant and unruly adults, so their love could last. In order to continue such an intimacy between the two, the only solution for the

people have all had that teen crush who they never really liked, but felt that they were really cute or attractive. You didn’t know why you liked them, but you just liked them. Also teens all have read romeo and juliet in high school. Do you know what those two situations have in common? Lust. In the play, Romeo and juliet, William shakespeare demonstrates that when teens fall in “love” it might just be lust.

Don’t you hate it when something doesn’t turn out the way you wanted it to? When you care so deeply about something and sacrifice so much just so that it can happen, but despite it all, ends in ruins. This is the theme of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. In this tragic tale, two fated lovers risk everything, even life itself, to be with one another. They go against family, friends and fate to be together. Had premonitions in the play been taken more seriously by key characters, tragedy could have been avoided.

Love is an intricate and complex emotion that has varying amounts of true affection. One might think he is in love with someone, but once he meets a different person, he may change his affection. Generally people agree that love is the highest form of affection, an emotion that produces deeply happy feelings that few events can disrupt. This is true in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Both Romeo and Juliet are willing to die for their love of each other. Juliet originally wants nothing to do with marriage or love, but as the play progresses, her new belief in love, and faithfulness, contrasts with her parents’ and nurse’s views.

In the tragic play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, a memorable idea was forbidden love. The play centers on the ill-fated love between the adolescent offspring of two warring, families of medieval Verona. Because of the feud between the families, Romeo and Juliet's love and secret marriage was destined for tragedy, not only for them but also the families. The idea of forbidden love drives the entire plot and without it the story would not nearly be as dramatic. It helps the reader understand the consequences of their relationship.

We all know the classic love story, Romeo and Juliet. Written by William Shakespeare, tells the story of two young lovers who, because of their families, can’t have their relationship known. However, this tale of love is nothing but a tale of lust for two reasons. First, they had just met. Second, they are being driven by hormones.

William Shakespeare wrote a play that is about a forbidden love named Romeo and Juliet. This story involves a family fued between the Capulets and Montagues. Readers and fans of the play never thought that a story like this could be true but in Afghanistan it is. Zakia and Ali are forbidden lovers. Though instead of a family feud. It is a feud between two religions. Zakia is a Sunni and Ali is a Shiite, also know as the Capulets and Montagues. Religion is playing a huge role in their love. Sunnis and Shiites go way back causing many feuds. Since they go way back sunni and shiite relgions clash making their love hard.

“Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.”(1 Peter 4:8). Authors speak often of love, from this quote in the book of 1 Peter in the Holy Bible, to Juliet’s words to Romeo in Act II, Scene II, “My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.”(Shakespeare p.40). Juliet’s words have probably inspired many young men and women with material to use while courting over the many years since it was written. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare transcends time by addressing not just the issue of love but also peer pressure and isolation, themes that modern-day teenagers face.

Love is the forceful attraction between two people blossomed from desire and intimacy. Lust is physical manifestation of what many would call love, but in reality this feeling can bend the will of any man and woman alike. Lust is power, it is passion, and it can motivate. One thing love and lust has in common: they have the ability to kill. Thus tragedy strikes a wary, yet inevitable, sentiment every person experiences at least once in their lifetime.

William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet has several different types of love present. Some of these types of love are, plutonic love, the love between friends; familial love, which is the love of your family; unrequited love, which is love that is one sided; and most evident in Romeo and Juliet romantic love, which is a passionate, strong, and sexual love. There are many ways these types of love are shown for example: Romeo and Mercutio share a plutonic love for each other, which is shown when Romeo avenges Mercutio’s death. Juliet and the Nurse share a familial love, the Nurse thinks of Juliet as her own daughter. Paris has an unrequited love for Juliet, Juliet refuses to marry him. Romeo and Juliet have romantic love, this is the most evident relationship in Romeo and Juliet, and the story revolves around it. Romantic love is found most often in Romeo and Juliet and modern day literature.

For this anthology about love I have chosen, and mainly centred around the topic of love that is forbidden. With this type of love, comes many struggles and questions that I’m sure must go through the minds of people in this situation. This is what happens with Romeo and Juliet in the Play written by William Shakespeare in 1591. It will be a romance that will strongly challenge them, but as we see it will not break the bond of love they have for each other. In this task I will try to describe the pain, happiness, frustration, forgiveness, anger, and joy through a collection of shorts texts that come with the topic of persecuted, and forbidden love.

Frist of all, forbidden Loves can be caused by many different issues. For example, forbidden love can be caused by differences in race, religion, social standing, gender preference, or in the case of Romeo and Juliet, family feuding. As a result, people, especially teens,
