The Affection Between Romeo And Juliet

Decent Essays

The affection between Romeo and Juliet was not genuine, rather it was lustful. This is because Romeo fell in love immediately when he first laid eyes on Juliet. Romeo and Juliet were also too young to find true love, and they only met each other a couple of times. To start off, Romeo was shattered about the fact Rosaline left him. He thought that Rosaline was his “true love”. In act 1 scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, line 158, Romeo says “Out of her favor, where I am in love”. In other words, Romeo is saying that he loves her but she does not. However, when Romeo saw Juliet at the Capulet party, he instantly fell in love and had erased all other thoughts from his mind. Romeo cherished Juliet’s body and did not bother to look at her personality.
