    What is True Love? (Pages 39-69) My definition of love is where two people are interested in each other and work together well. They both also have many of the same interests and hobbies in life. They share many things in common and like being with each other. If you do share the same hobbies you could do it a lot more often.

    In the poem "True Love" by Sharon Olds, the author describes a couple who seems to be happy on the surface, but upon closer reading, the reader finds out that is not the case. Although the poem seems to be about a couple who is madly in love, the negative connotation throughout the lines leads the reader to believe that the woman feels trapped and bound in her relationship. The word "bound" can be found several times in the poem, and it definitely helps reveal the true meaning of this poem.

    Is the love between Romeo and Juliet true love or infatuation? In William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet, the two immature lovers display a childish fanaticism based chiefly on physical attraction. Between the turbulence of Romeo’s emotions and hasty development of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship, it is doubtful that the superficial crush could possibly be genuine.

    as Romeo and Juliet met they fell instantly in love, for some this maybe true-love as for others it is not and is only emotionally charged.

In the movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, where Snow White escapes the jealous queen and hides with seven dwarfs, she is saved by a prince which she then falls in love with. This is the storyline that many of Walt Disney’s movies are based off of such as Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Hercules
