Why Can T Romeo And Juliet Be In Love

leave each other. "Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death". He was so

Romeo and Juliet care for each other and would risk anything for each other. But they barely met each other and they both love one another because of their facial features. Romeo and Juliet are two protagonists who feel they have “true” love, but neither character knows what “true” love is.

Romeo was in love with Rosaline a couple days before which he barely knew. And now he fell in love with Juliet in 1 day which he was with for only about a hour and a hour isn’t enough time to know someone a lot and to even love them. In Romeo and Juliet it also says “O she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear, Beauty too rich for use , for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o’er her fellows shows The measure done, I’ll watch her of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now?forswear it, sight.” This is part when Romeo crashes the Capulet party and see Juliet for the first time. Romeo in this piece of verse , Romeo was saying that he never saw anything more beautiful and he ask himself if he just fell in love which he was but he only fell in love for seeing her beauty not her personality. The two lovers would have to know each other more other than beauty and might now love each other and be happy because they would've found out who they actually were and how they act as individuals.

They only meet at a party (I.v.91) then are married within 15 hours (II.vi.35). In general, a person needs to really know another person to truly love them. For example, if you see someone across the room and thinks they are beautiful. You aren’t in love because you don't know them you just think they are beautiful. Therefore since, Romeo and Juliet just met and were married within 24 hours they don't really know each other so it's unlikely that they are in

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.

Based on Act I, do you really think Romeo and Juliet are in love? Be sure to include text evidence to support your answer. Response #1- Based on Act 1, I think that Romeo and Juliet are not truly in love.

Romeo’s love for Juliet is caused in an instant but there substantial build up to what they feel for each other. Romeo previously loved Juliet’s cousin Rosaline. I believe the love he feels for her is true and as strong as what he feels for Juliet even if he would not admit it. If Rosaline had felt the same as Juliet did than this entire fiasco would’ve been avoided. Romeo once said when describing his love for Rosaline “Love is a smile made with the fume of sighs, Being Purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes, Being vexed, a sea nourished with loving tears.” this is quite similar to how he has described his love for Juliet, “It is the was and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon”. I believe this proves that Romeo is just falling in love with the first women he meets in a bathroom.

Juliet is to be married as “The valiant Paris seeks [her] for his love”(686) and Romeo feels depressed. Juliet doesn’t truly want to be married to Paris and when Romeo comes along and says he loves her, Juliet uses this as an excuse to be ineligible to Paris. At their young ages of 13 and 16 both, don’t truly know love and can’t effectively associate their feelings. The friar feels that"[Romeo’s] love did read by rote, that could not spell'"(707). Romeo is only repeating what he has heard about love, not genuinely understanding what he is saying. He acts impatient and brash, quickly jumping at any chance to say he is in love thinking it will bring him happiness. Moments before he saw Juliet, Romeo claimed that he was deeply in love with Rosaline, although when presented with someone who he deemed as more beautiful he’s questions if, "[his] heart [did] love till now?...For [he feels he has] ne'er saw true beauty till this night" (pg 692). If he had truly been in love with Rosaline then seeing another girl wouldn't have changed his mind, but as he is so young he isn't able to understand that what he felt for both, Juliet and Rosaline was lust. Teenagers act irrationally, based solely on emotion, Romeo and Juliet are too caught up in their feelings to take a step back and consider their

One kind of love that is shown around in the story is romantic. In act 1 scene V line 101 where Juliet and Romeo are at the party and are talking about how they love one another, Romeo says ¨Let lips do what hands do¨, when he was talking about praying with hands together. He wanted to tell Juliet he wanted to kiss by comparing hands

Romeo and Juliet are very immature at the start of the play. When the play introduces Romeo, Romeo is in love with Rosaline who won’t even give him a second look because she knew he wasn’t actually in love. He then fell in ove with Juliet just after he claimed to love Rosaline, showing that he doesn’t love the girl, he loves being in love. “Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/

So with this in mind, here is why the “love” between Romeo and Juliet was unrealistic. The time you spend getting to know someone is crucial in a solid relationship. How can someone say they love a person when they don’t know who they are? Romeo and Juliet didn’t know each other at all, they jumped straight into the romance and the physical aspect of the relationship but didn’t spend any time at all developing a friendship. A successful relationship can not build its foundation upon physicality alone and the only thing either of them seemed concerned with was physical touch.

Though it is not directly stated in William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet infatuation is definitely apparent from Romeo (and Juliet later on.) In Act I Romeo is very melodramatic about his love for Rosaline going as for to say that she is being selfish for not letting her beauty be passed on. While readers do not know how long Romeo knew this Rosaline it can be estimated that it isn’t that long due to the later occurrences with Juliet, which leads readers to believe he was just infatuated with her beauty and he was mistaking that for love. Later when he states how Juliet is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, readers begin to wonder if he really actually loves her or he is just in love with her beauty, and the same with Juliet when she is wooed by his words. This leaves readers to ask if they really love each other or just infatuated with the idea of each other. Connecting this with real life, it happens quite a lot especially when it comes to cheating because they are just infatuated with the other person, not in

In Shakespeare tragic play “Romeo and Juliet”, they claim to fall in love but it wasn't really true love because Romeo was infatuated with Juliet's cousin, Romeo kills Juliet's other cousin, Tybalt, and Romeo was a complete stranger to Juliet. One reason that Romeo and Juliet are not truly in love is because Romeo shows a yearning towards Juliet's cousin, Rosaline. Romeo shows his affection toward Rosaline when he says, “She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, for beauty starved with her severity cuts beauty off from all posterity. She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair, to merit bliss by making me despair. She hath forsworn to love, and in that vow do I live dead that lived to tell it now.

I feel that Romeo and Juliet were really in love. If two people are willing to kill themselves because they couldn’t be together they must’ve been deeply in love even if the love was rushed. The words Romeo would say to Juliet came from the heart and were always meaningful for example,

Romeo and Juliet are not truly in love with each other they are just infatuated with each other. Romeo and Juliet are obsessed with one another. On act 1 scene 5 pg 94 Romeo says. “I profane with my unworthiest hand”. Romeo is saying that he is not worthy of Juliet and Juliet is too beautiful and perfect for Romeo.
