Love Of Love In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Love is something everyone feels, and is different for everyone. It can make people do things that they could never see themselves doing. It impacts everyone in their day to day lives. In Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, love is shown in a variety of ways and can make people do crazy things. Love can be friendly, forced, or romantic.

The power of love can help people get through obstacles that stand in their way and can help one become his or her own individual. In the famous play “Romeo and Juliet”, by William Shakespeare, Romeo is willing to do whatever it takes to be with Juliet without even looking back or thinking of the consequences while Juliet struggles with becoming an individual going from someone who shares a mind with her mother to an independent individual choosing to be with Romeo. Shakespeare develops Romeo by his overdramatic choice of words and Juliet by her change in behavior going from obedient and letting others speak for her to rebellious in trying to be independent, which refines the central idea: the power of love against obstacles.

Have you ever felt an extremely strong crush on someone to the point where you think you’re in love… only to fast forward a year you’re wondering what attractive qualities you saw in that person? “Eros” is an ancient Greek word for love at first sight, or love by looks. The famous play Romeo and Juliet goes forward in time by revealing the dangerous issue of “Eros” love that even modern-day teenagers face. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is a tragic story about a young man and woman who fall in love by appearance and eventually commit suicide over each other’s death. The danger of Eros can be seen best through Romeo with what he thinks, says, and does.

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.

How is Love presented in Romeo and Juliet and two poems from the Shakespeare Literary Heritage

What is love? Is it an object? Is it a feeling? Is it even attainable? Love is everything, it is an object, it is an emotion, and it cannot be bought, stolen, given. Love can only be found. Love is discovered in the most unthinkable places during the most unimaginable times. It can never be predicted who you fall in love with or when you do but all you do know is that you are in love and you would give anything for that person, and for your love to always stay resilient through all other obstacles and distractions. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Montague’s and Capulet’s are know and expected to hate each other until the miracle of love presented its self. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet. They both fell in love when

Love can prove a strong and intense affection towards another person, however teens contain no experience whatsoever, therefore their 'love' proves merely lust. Romeo and Juliet presents a tragic love story, where two young teens fall in love, from opposing families, which results in both of their deaths. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare, uses the repetition of beauty in order to develop a motif of superficial love. The use of this motif suggests that William Shakespeare looks to present the audience that physical attraction should not remain wholly necessary for romantic love.

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare opens with two servants of the Capulets explaining their hatred towards the house of Montague, their mortal enemies. A fight between the two houses soon breaks out and the prince must remind them once more that he will not permit more fighting between the two. The story proceeds to pan over to Romeo the lovesick heir of the Montagues. To cheer him up, his friends joke with him and then a golden opportunity arrives. A servant of the Capulet house requires someone to help him read out the list of people he needed to fetch for a grand party at the Capulet household. The servant did not realize it was a Montague whom he allowed to go to the party. Meanwhile, Paris and Lord Capulet are discussing his marriage to Juliet. Even though Lord and Lady Capulet are married, their views on love are complete opposites.

When I read the tragedy Romeo and Juliet, I thought that it had quite the dark ending. However, I also thought that we could learn from this extreme case of what grudges do to people. It hardens their hearts and makes them think that “This will hurt them,” even though that it really hurts themselves in the process. Since the Capulets (Juliet’s family) and the Montagues (Romeo’s family) had both taken part of an ancient feud against each other, Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other is not at all accepted by their families, which causes problems with their marriage. If The Capulets and Montagues put their differences aside, the entire book would have been totally different. In many areas we can learn so much from Romeo and Juliet, as well as the other characters in the book, especially with how many of them seem to not think through most of their choices before committing or going through with something. My ultimate goal in this essay is showing how being a teenager can be a difficult journey, but thinking through things and not letting your emotions get the best of you can and will greatly help your life. To achieve my goal, I have properly organized my paper into four sections going over three topics. In my first topic I will go over Romeo and Juliet’s mutual love and immediate marriage, and what went wrong, why it was wrong, and how it could have been prevented. In the following section, I discuss the topic of Romeo’s violent tendencies and why it was wrong; along with

Love is considerably one of the most important things in the world, considering that life depends on love. During different periods of time love has changed and stayed the same. Many "rituals" of love are the same and different from when the famous play- Romeo and Juliet- by William Shakespeare. Many form and stages of love exist in our world today such as dating, marriage, etcetera. Dating is a huge part of the twentieth century and it was very popular during the seventeen hundreds also; however dating and love in general is different in many cultures, beliefs, and religions. A huge part is age in love. Some people believe that age does not matter when in love whilst some do. Some people believe that love exists at all ages while other believe in only older or younger love. Many parents also want to be involved in their child's love life. But how do all of these things come into play and interlock in love that we have today and love that was around during the time of Shakespeare?

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.

In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet’s inexperience(s) lead them to confuse physical and true love, ultimately leading to their demise.

In many cultures a person’s sole purpose is to please their family and peers until they marry. One is to do as they are told and to do what everyone else does. There is no free-thinking. There is never a time one is told to do what they think is best. People are forced into a mold where they, quite literally, conform. People feel that the only way to please everyone is to do what everyone else is doing. This is never how anyone should feel pressured. As William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet elegantly indicates how being true to oneself is the best in that era, even if it means rebelling against your family and peers, the same concept stays true in modern times.
