On the other hand, Romeo and Juliet are not shy about displaying their love for each other. Upon their first meeting, Romeo and Juliet flirt with each other and kiss. In both stories "love at first sight" differentiated in how it was displayed, but clearly their love was

Romeo and Juliet mistake their love for infatuation due to their physical attraction to each other. To begin with, the first time Romeo laid his eyes on Juliet at the Capulet party, he can not help but admire Juliet’s physical attributes and declares his emotion to be love. However, love at first sight is unlikely to occur (Brase). There is a difference between love at first sight and lust at first sight (Brase). Brase’s statement supports that Romeo and Juliet falling in love at first site is unlikely; however, lust at first sight is much more probable. Obviously, Romeo

However, when Romeo attends a ball for simply the fact that Rosaline would have been there, he sees Juliet and instantly ‘falls in love’. Sure, we have all heard of the popular saying “It was love at first sight”, but how much of us really believe it? For how many of us does this actually apply to?

When first reading this, it is unclear as to how Juliet has fallen in love with Romeo so quickly. But after looking at Elliot D. Cohen’s “Is There Love At First Sight?”, the reader can see how.

The story of Romeo and Juliet is one of love and terrible tragedy. Many people have argued if it was actually love that they were experiencing, or if it was just a physical attraction. The article, “Love At First Sight“ by Elizabeth Bernstein, provides facts that prove Romeo and Juliet were not in love, but experiencing strong infatuation with each other.

Although the classic Shakespearean tragedy Romeo and Juliet depicts love at first sight between the two titular protagonists, such is not truly attainable in its entirety. Mainly, this is due to the nature of true love, which requires more than what can be obtained upon first sight, or even over the course of a few days, as in the case of Romeo and Juliet, where it is illustrated that the protagonists are so deeply in love with each other that they consider their romance to be of a higher priority than their own lives; that they had been willing to sacrifice themselves for their lover. In addition, love often segues

William Shakespeare was the man who wrote the play Romeo and Juliet, meaning that the play is fiction. So by that account, love at first sight is fiction and is not a viable reality. The play of Romeo and Juliet is a romantic tragedy. A young couple driven to suicide because they could not be together is a tragic thing. Shakespeare called attraction love because it made the play all the more tragic. In Act 2 scene 2 Juliet says “Deny thy father and refuse thy name; or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I’ll no longer be a Capulet.” In this part Juliet is contemplating what it is to be a Capulet and what a Montague is. She seems to be willing to forget her family in order to be with Romeo, who she has not even known for a night.

Romeo and Juliet were simply too hasty when they decided to get married only after hours of knowing each other. The play uses the phrase, “Love at first sight”. “Love at first sight” isn’t a thing. In the play they fall for each other because of how they look. It isn’t love when it is based on love, that is called lust. Lust is not a reason to marry someone you just met. They barely even knew each other, and they decided to get married within a few hours, there are no circumstances were that’s okay. You can’t “love” anybody when you’ve only know each other for a few hours. Had they not married in the first place, they both would have lived.

Quote JULIET 
O fortune, fortune! all men call thee fickle:
If thou art fickle, what dost thou with him.
That is renown'd for faith? Be fickle, fortune;
For then, I hope, thou wilt not keep him long,
But send him back.
(3.5.9)

Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet shows that even though love at first sight is not possible for the characters, immediate attraction still is because of Romeo and Juliet's young age and ignorance. First, when Romeo first sees Juliet he says the phrase "Did my heart love till now? Foreswear it, sight/ For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night" (I.V.51-52). This shows that Romeo is immediately attracted to Juliet.

In Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, clearly represents how love, at first sight, can occur and that it does represent true love. On the night of the party, Romeo Montague sees Juliet Capulet and declares, “did [his] heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, / For [he] ne’er saw true beauty till this night” (1.5.59-60). All Romeo does is glance at Juliet, and he falls completely in love with her.

Is it really possible for people fall in love at first sight like in William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet? Is it truly love at first sight or is it lust at first sight? The play, Romeo and Juliet, starts with Romeo being head over heels in love with a beautiful girl name Rosaline which he mentions several times to his cousins. Later in the play, during a party hosted by the Capulets, he gazes upon Juliet and instantly falls in love with her. When asked again about Rosaline later in the play, he replies that he has completely forgotten her name. It makes a person wonder if he was even as in love with Rosaline as he told everyone. After reading this play the theory of love at first sight seems a highly unrealistic explanation for two people

Shakespeare’s work in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is outstanding in that it presents the audience with a very compelling and forbidden relationship between two people. The highs and lows of this play are a rollercoaster for the audience’s emotions and it can make the experiences ever so involved. One of the scenes that can really affect the audience and their emotions is the scene when Romeo and Juliet have their first kiss. In this short writing, I will analyze a clip from the 1968 version of the play by Paramount Pictures, as well as the 1996 version by 20th Century Fox, and in doing so I will closely look at what the director was trying to accomplish through the use of music, lighting, camera angle, and actor choices. This will allow
