Infatuation In Romeo And Juliet

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

Teenage crushes are explored through the middle school and high school years. The two most important crushes are romantic and identity. Most of these crushes are seen as jokes by parents. However, experiencing these types of crushes ultimately lead to the discovery of one's true identity. Shakespeare uses romantic and identity crushes to show how parents need to take teenage crushes more serious.

Love is either the best or worst thing that has ever happened to a person, without an in between. Because of how many different perspectives there are from person to person, love is what makes people’s thoughts shrouded and create turmoil. In the play Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare shows the audience the despair that is brought upon those who love through his characters and plot. By using love as the inciting force behind the violence, suffering and death in the play, Shakespeare suggests that love is a harmful human emotion.

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.

For example, Romeo kills himself after thinking Juliet is dead. He says, “ Thy drugs are quick, Thus with a kiss I die” (5.3.120). This proves that Romeo is deeply in love with Juliet and can't live without her. That causes him to kill himself the moment he hears about her death. Which is where dramatic irony takes places because we know that Juliet isn't really dead. But he goes where she is and dies with her. Others would see this as taking it to the extreme but this is what real love do to people. In addition, Juliet notices that Romeo is dead so she stabs herself. She says, “This is thy sheath, There rust and let me die” (5.3.175). It’s clear that Juliet has a strong passion for Romeo because she ends her life after seeing that Romeo has killed himself. She doesn't even leave when Friar Lawrence tries to draw her attention away from the scene. She acts as if she can’t live without him and that's what happened when you get attached. Individuals would say this is a psychotic moment for teens but hey need to understand it’s true

Shakespeare uses the Romantic crush between Romeo and Juliet to show that parents should take crushes seriously. A strong connection between the two is present and I am going to elaborate what it means to them and what it should mean to everyone else. Parents should not take their children’s crushes for granted. In this particular instance the two (Romeo and Juliet) love each other very much; however, since they are from different families, they cannot interact. When Juliet says “Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (2,2,35), it is shown that she loves Romeo dearly and that she wishes she was not a Capulet so she could be with him. Also, when Romeo says “ I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve for sweet discourses in our time to come” (3,5,52), in response to Juliet’s questioning of them ever seeing each

In my opinion, I think Shakespeare’s description of Juliet, a fourteen years old girl in love, was very accurate. I say this because Romeo is likely to be the first guy that she has fallen for, and is very passionate about. She immediately falls in love with him because she has never has had a feeling like this, and is in love with the idea of being in love. I think Shakespeare’s uses Juliet age and inexperience to show how easy it was for Romeo to make her fall for

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

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

Most people see love as an intense feeling of great affection, but in reality, it can cause greater harm to a person than good. This is certainly true in William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet. The story follows two star-crossed lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, that are from rival families. Due to the conflict between the families, the lovers find themselves with dark thoughts of death and suicide to be with the other as a result of impulsive love. In the play, Shakespeare paints the dark idea that love, when based on impulse and naivety, might seems like something that could bring joy, but it actually ruins one’s life.

The read about, “love” story, Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, had meaning of words that could actually be taken differently, by dissecting the background. To have the feeling of being infatuated, is an intense passion felt in a short moment of time. It's not a long lasting feeling; real love runs much deeper than infatuation. At such a young age, Romeo and Juliet had not known the true understanding of love. Real love, is a genuine admiration for a person's qualities and character traits.

Being infatuated is when you have an intense passion felt in a short moment of time, it is not a long lasting feeling. The way real love happens is when you love someone for their character and their personality. Romeo and Juliet were portraying infatuation towards each other. Romeo and Juliet did not even know each other, enough to develop an admiration for each other.

On page it states that juliet is 13 and romeo is 17 that's way too young to fall in love other words you can't fall in love with someone when you am not mature enough juliet is only thirteen she says she is in love but she has not even been through life long enough to know what true

In this report, I will be analyzing how affection is shown towards Juliet in the capulet home. I feel this is an important topic because it show literary elements such as mood, tone, etc.

In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Romeo is proven to be utterly hopeless. For instance, when Romeo is explaining to Benvolio why he is so sad about falling in love, Romeo mourns, “Alas that love, whose view is muffled” (1.1.169). Due to this blindness, Romeo must endure the agony caused by his love not being reciprocated. He also has no assurance that going through this pain will give him what he wants in the end, but has no choice but to bear it anyway. Essentially, Romeo cannot make this woman love him; he may only expect the worst but hope for the best. Furthermore, Benvolio wants clarification on Romeo’s crush’s marital status, so Romeo explains that “She hath forsworn to love” (1.1.225). Despite Romeo’s deepest heartfelt affections,
