The View 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.

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.

This world-renowned tragedy is centered on the love between the characters Romeo and Juliet, as the lines above bring out. Although these two teenager's love is the focus of the story, many other views of love are expressed and presented by various characters. Three of these many views include Romeo's love for Rosaline, the Friar Lawrence's view of love, and most significantly, Romeo and Juliet's love for one another.

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

A society’s beliefs are often shown through its stories. Beliefs about love are no exception. While not a modern or American tale, William Shakespeare’s play Romeo & Juliet is an outstanding example, as its messages about love are deeply ingrained in both American culture and storytelling. In fact, some have even called it the most iconic love story of all time. But is that a good thing?

Love is dark and bright, and it is also depressing and happy. A young boy named Romeo has a major change in his idea of love. Romeo starts out in love with a girl, Rosaline, but it is depressing for Romeo, because she does not return his love. But right when Romeo sets eyes on a young girl named Juliet, he forgets about Rosaline, and he is in love and filled with joy that Juliet loves him back. In William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the concept of love that Shakespeare shows at the beginning of the play is that love is heart breaking, sad, depressing, and longing for one that does not love back. But then there is a sudden break with the past, and Shakespeare shows us that true love is instant,

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.

Infatuation is often blind. When you fall head over heels in love with someone, you do not realize some bad choices you make until it is too late. In Verona, Italy, two kids named Romeo and Juliet fall deeply in love. Their parents feud restricted their love therefore, Romeo and Juliet could not be together. They were already foolishly in love and that led to their rash decisions. William Shakespeare wrote this story of something that was much more than love. Pyramus and Thisbe tell a story of a forbidden love that ends in death because of what they do not know. “The Story of Layla and Majnun” also displays forbidden love that ended in death. Since Layla could not be with her love, she died of a broken heart. As a result Majnun

Although formally defined as “a strong feeling of affection” by the Oxford Dictionaries, love is rather considered a broad and equivocal subject to many. Perception of affection may differ for anyone, especially for those who had lived in Shakespeare’s time, roughly equivalent to the 1500’s. “Romeo and Juliet”, the novel which Shakespeare had published in 1597, reflects various themes of love to the readers. The tragedy presents several different aspects of love such as love at first sight, the commitment and devotion for love, and teenage love.

The play, Romeo & Juliet, originally written by Shakespeare, allowed Desert Hot Springs High School to reenact this infamous piece of literature. In this replica of Romeo and Juliet, those who primarily directed the play were Amber Stella (student director) and Ryan Landman (lead director). The major theme is love. Love can overcome any obstacle obstructing the natural order, even if the solution to that may be mutual death; Love prevails over any hindrance. I had the opportunity to behold the play on its opening night, Thursday October .

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.

Love is patient, kind, and is willing to wait. In 1 Corinthians 13, it talks about what love was truly created to be. In verse 4, it states that ¨love is patient” (English Standard Version 1 Corinthians 13:4). We were made to show love with patience and wait for God's timing. Romeo and Juliet do not portray patient love. ¨ Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take./ *Kisses her* Thus From my lips, by thine, my sin is purged¨ (1.5.104-105). This quote proves they are both impatient because they kissed each other without knowing each other's names. Patient love does not develop overnight but we must remember to keep our eyes on
