Romantic Crushes In Shakespeare's 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

In the book Romeo and Juliet, two young people fall in love and end up getting married in the first week they meet, and eventually end up killing themselves over each other. The problem with this is that they have only known eachother for barely a week which means that they don’t know a whole lot about eachother so they are just basing their love life on their physical appearance. In this little time together having to avoid their parents seeing them together because their family hates each others guts, Romeo and Juliet do not have a lot of time together to get to know the real them. The difference between physical attraction and dating is that dating is where you know each other well and don’t just date them because of their looks. Physical Attraction is where you just met someone and you think that they look good and you think that you would date the person.

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.

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.

The fact that Romeo and Juliet are so madly in love with one another is an example of a romantic crush. They felt as if they had to be with each other all the time, even it involved killing each other, in which it did. Romeo’s admiration to Benvolio displays an identity crush in the play; Romeo asked him for some advice on how he should forget about Juliet. It is a shame that their parents were not able to help guide their way through their relationship. If they had helped them, maybe there could have been a different result with their relationship. Shakespeare uses romantic and identity crushes to show how each of them had an effect if the parents did not pay close attention to details. In Romeo and Juliet’s case, their parents did not pay close attention, which resulted in a snowball effect of bad

From the beginning of the play, Romeo’s tendency to moon over women is not received positively by his friends. After enduring Romeo’s heartbroken moping over the unattainable Rosaline, Benvolio encourages his cousin to pursue other ladies and take “some new infection to [his] eye” (1.2. 51) so that the “rank poison of the old will die” (1.2. 52).

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.

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.
