I believe that true love is when two people are almost near obsessed with each other but one does not like the other more. True loves is the perfect balance of trusting the other person, willing to sacrifice whatever is needed to be with that person and being loyal to that one and only person. In the play Romeo and Juliet it is made clear they trust each other when Juliet is isolated by her entire family and still trusts in the fact that romeo loves her and that they will be together. It is shown to us that they are will to sacrifice almost anything for eachother when they pay the ultimate price for loving each other which is death. When juliet's mom and dad try to force her to marry paris she refuses and proclaims her loves for him showing that he is her one and only love. One of the most important aspects of truly loving another person is to have undying trust in the other person and who they are as a human being. Both Romeo and Juliet …show more content…
When two people are really in love they should be wanting and willing to do anything it takes to be together and if two lovers are presented with the same situation Romeo and Juliet where that they might have to take drastic measures. This is proven when Romeo climbs the Capulets walls, How cam'st thou hither, tell me, and wherefore? The orchard walls are high and hard to climb, And the place death, considering who thou art, If any of my kinsmen find thee here. (2.2.66-69) Romeo was willing to die to see his other true love. If he was caught in her house he would most certainly be killed by one of the guards but he wanted to see her so bad that he risked it. The last thing I wall go over is also the backbone of any relationship which is being loyal to that one person and loving them. In Romeo and Juliet even when given the chance to marry another man she refuses and even risked death by defying her
Romeo’s emotions, fueled with grief and rage, made him seek revenge on Tybalt through a reckless duel. However, even though Romeo greatly regretted his decision through his emotions and immaturity, there was no way to undo the damage after the recklessness he had made. Romeo and Juliet’s decision to marry after knowing each other for a short time portrays their disregard for the potential consequences of their actions. Romeo’s eagerness to marry Juliet is evident when he declares to Friar Lawrence, “Do thou but close our hands with holy words, / Then love-devouring death do what he dare, / It is enough I may call her mine” (Shakespeare 2.6.6-8).
Have you ever wondered why Romeo and Juliet are seen as the perfect lovers whenever the story ends with a lot of death? Well, Romeo and Juliet's willingness to put their love above all else shows that true love can come with great sacrifices. Romeo and Juliet is a tragic love story about two different family households that are always fighting and can’t get along. Although both families don’t get along when Romeo and Juliet meet, they fall in love right away. Even though they are from enemy families, they decide to get married and in the end, they both kill themselves because of miscommunications.
If you have ever fallen in love then you must know what Romeo and Juliet felt, right? Well according to the definition of true love your do not relate to Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet come from similar families that are mortal enemies, but despite that, they fall in love for each other. Romeo went from loving Rosaline to Juliet very quickly and Juliet was already going to marry Paris. True affection involves: your sense of self has grown through knowing this person, You’re addicted to the person, you celebrate this person’s triumphs, you really miss this person when you are apart. Romeo and Juliet may have thought they were in love, but falling in love with someone cannot happen in an instant.
In act one Romeo says this about Juliet. “As a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear-Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear...Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I never saw true beauty till this night.”(1.5.46-53) The quote states Romeo saw true beauty when he saw Juliet. Romeo is in love with Juliet because she is pretty. Looks do not matter if it is “true” love. In the balcony scene Juliet says this to Romeo. “If that thy bent of love be honorable, thy purpose marriage…”(2.2.143-144) Juliet broaches marriage to Romeo, on the same night she met Romeo. “True” love is knowing a person and loving who they are. Not rushing into a relationship with a random person. “True” love is loving who a person for who they are, not just their facial
“Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only with what you are expecting to give — which is everything.” (Hepburn) In the play Romeo and Juliet, there are two young lovers who falls in love but cannot be with together due to a feud going on between their families. Both lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are willing to give in everything to be together. In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the theme that love can conquer all things is revealed through the use of dramatic irony and foreshadow.
A bit young for " True Love" some would think. We all know that the youngster's desire and hast in being together was one of the reasons for their deaths. So what would true lovers think of each other? " Love causes a rought and uncouth man to be distinguished for his handsomeness" It one of Love's many virtues. Romeo describes Juliet " Arise Fair sun and kill the envious moon". He uses the symbols of light rather than darkness as he had done for Rosaline. Not long, Romeo says Love is supposed to peaceful and lovely. Obviously, Romeo and Juliet both passionately love each other very much. However, Shakespeare makes the " Hate" between them seem just as dangerous as the love itself. " A Man who is vexed by too much passion usually does not love" is another rule for love. It is the rush of passion and the feud of the two families that brought to the deaths of Tybalt, Paris and at last, Romeo and Juliet themselves. This brings the question" They love so much, is death the only way to preserve it?" How realistic is Love anyway? Mercurtio delivers a wonderful speech about Queen Mab, a rather perfect symbolising image of dreams and fantasies for beautiful love, which in actually fact, is said to be lust and greed. This is then compared to Romeo and Juliet who sees such truth and realism in their love. So what is Shakespeare trying to say about love? Is it really
Juliet has full trust in Romeo and is loyal to him, this is a sign of true love,
Love is being willing to sacrifice everything for your everything, and giving your family, friends, and life for one person. Romeo gave everything for Juliet. He risked his family, his friends, his way of living, and his life in the pursuit of his true love. Juliet risked all that was central in influencing her to be the person she is, even
However, their “love” leads them into new problems.Which resulted them into making rash decisions. They could’ve easily avoided these conflicts, by talking to their parents about their marriage, but that is not what they decided to do. Romeo and Juliet’s decisions are never well thought out at all, since all their decisions lead to suicide threats. In addition, both of them are very self-centered becuase, it never occured to them that if they died it could effect other peoples lives terribly. William Shakespeare is showing us, how their decisions will affect themselves in the future. He demonstrates that love should be taken slowly and peacefully. But in Romeo and Juliet’s case love is very fast and unpleasant. William Shakespeare states that, “ As if that name, shot from the deadly level of a gun, Did murder her, as that names cursed hand Murder'd her kinsman. O, tell me Friar, tell me, In what vile part of this anatomy Doth my name lodge? Tell me, that I may sack The hateful mansion” (A.3 s.3 l.102-108). Romeo is very upset in himself because he believes that Juliet is heartbroken, that he had just killed her cousin, Tybalt. Therefore, he threatened Friar Lawrence, suicide by drawing his dagger. This indicates how Shakespeare describes young love as misleading, because Romeo is very impulsive. He is not thinking this through with Friar Lawrence at all. Instead, he
(2:3:3). Here, it is evident that Romeo views love as physical infatuation, and easily falls in and out of it, such as with Rosaline and Juliet. This lesson is furthered by the impact of their sudden marriage on themselves, Romeo and Juliet both entertained constant thoughts of suicide if they were away from each other, demonstrating the force of their love. After Capulet decides that Juliet will marry Paris, Juliet says, “If all else fail, myself have power to die” (3.5.242). This theme continues until their eventual suicide, the most substantial expression of their love for eachother, for only through death could they safeguard the overwhelming potency of
Have you ever wondered what exactly true love is? The Bible gives us a definition of
The tragic hero and Juliet relationship was very hard, but their love was very strong and confident with each other. “ He will be banished from Verona and never come back(shakespear)”. Juliet was very upset about that, but, she would still be waiting on him to come back. Juliet family said to marry Paris now but, she said no “i love Romeo with all my heart(shakespeare)”. Juliet shows how much their love meant and was very confident with their relationship.
The two people involved in romantic love, may notice how much they are willing to sacrifice in order to make each other happy. This is because of the fact that they now have produced strong emotions for each other. This is displayed in one of the most famous love stories, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is the epitome of sacrificial love. Two lovers, regardless if their family had approved of their union or not, made the decision to disregard the opinion of others for the sake of love. “The play tells the world there is something more important than financial security or social approval. And that has to be called romantic—or true love.” (Janaro & Altshuler, 2011) One may also learn from Romeo and Juliet that being involved
Famous words from a true leader, “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend” -Martin Luther King Jr. He says love is a force that can bring people together. Romeo and Juliet are two star crossed lovers who despite their parents feud, fall in love and have to hide their marriage from everyone. Love is one of the most important concepts in Romeo and Juliet, love is having a deep romantic attachment to someone. Another important concept in Romeo and Juliet is responsibility. Responsibility has to do with having to deal with something or having control over someone or something. Romeo and Juliet’s parents and Friar Lawrence are at fault for Romeo + Juliet’s deaths.
Love is like your best friends,where you always want to be with them, but the only thing that arises is trouble. This is seen in the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, he tells the story of two secret lovers from rival houses. When their secret is soon to be uncovered, the two devise a plan to bring peace to both families. The irrational actions by Lord Capulet and Romeo ruin any chance of this plan working, because they acted without thinking about the consequences. Although the father of Juliet forces her into marrying a man even though she is already married to a different man, he does this irrationally by forcing her into a position she would never want to be in. Additionally, the original
