Rome and Juliet

Love can have a very minute or a very deep meaning depending on how it is used. For example, one may say, “I love those shoes.” That person does not actually have an emotional attachment but they really like them. It is also used in a more personal way when two people have an emotional attachment to one another. If the readers love life was based off of the story of Romeo and Juliet, there would be many illogical decisions made that could lead to tragedy as a result. Everyone is going to have a slightly different view on the meaning of love.

The tragic romance of Romeo & Juliet is believed by many to be one of the greatest examples of true love in literature, but do those believers notice the distinctions between love and infatuation? Oftentimes, the idea of romance between people is greatly misunderstood. The never-ending thoughts and concepts about falling head over heels to someone have always been significant—and most of the time, people, no matter what their position in the society is, find themselves wondering about the possibilities of finding their own soulmate. In William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” the poet tells a tragic love story about two young lovers. A story that depicts one’s emotions and how relationships among people are vastly influenced by their impulsive

Love can come from the heart or can be based on pleasing others. Love does not have to be real romantic love. Some love is one sided or even fake at times. Love is something felt from the heart, and in this case, Romeo and Juliet’s love is real. Romeo and Juliet may have fallen in love at first sight and kept their love a secret, but they are true to one another and do not want to live without one another.

Juliet has the same immature viewpoints on love, which is why both her and Romeo fall in love so quickly. “Conceit, more rich in matter than in words. Brags of his substance, not of his ornament.” (2.6.30-31). Romeo tried to woo Juliet with his eloquent words, but even Juliet knows that words don’t matter unless there is meaning behind it. This shows Juliet has a somewhat better understanding of love than Romeo.

And when finally finding true love they discover that they have fallen in love their own enemy. They both realize that the idea of love can be amazing, but also a painful experience. Shakespeare demonstrates love versus evil and the forms love takes that is acknowledged as an universal issue that connects different types of audiences. Audiences are captured by relating on love and the emotions that are displayed. From Romeo and Rosaline’s unrequited love, Paris and Juliet’s false love, and Romeo and Juliet’s ill-fated love, create the forms of love that establishes love as a leading theme in Act I.

This situation that they were in was realistic but at the equivalent occasion it is also unrealistic because they barely know each other. The two types of love which they are experiencing is lustful love which is love for the purpose of physical desire. They show that love isn’t just imagery but it’s a commitment . In addition they are also undergoing pure love. Pure love changes people it makes Romeo more passionate and Juliet becomes more independent.

Sometimes when people are in love they tend to do things that they could not imagine. Their mind is so caught up on the person that they forget everything and focus on them. The love takes over their mind and they do the unthinkable. In Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare shows love by introducing us to Romeo and Juliet who are star-crossed lovers. In the play, Shakespeare has messages, but one message that stands out is: Love is a crazy thing that can control ones mind and makes a person do things without thinking twice.

Conventional love is another kind of that is shown in Romeo and Juliet, where it develops in social situations without any consideration to emotions. Although true love is a dominant theme in both plays Romeo and Juliet and Much Ado About Nothing, there are differences in the way that true love is developed in both of them and the changes it makes in the personality of the lovers. In Romeo and Juliet love between the two lovers, Romeo and Juliet, is more passionate and romantic, springing up at first sight between them. Love controls and changes both of them completely, turning them to more simple and pure; it affects their language that turns to be really the language of their heart. Romeo becomes a lover poet, expressing his love to Juliet by comparing her to the sun, "Juliet is the sun" (2.2.3) and to stars, describing here as an angel and a messenger of heaven, "o, speak again, bright angel, for though art/ As is winged messenger of heaven" (2.2.26-28).

They are being deceived by themselves and/or the others around them. There are certain instances in the play where the emotion of love is true, and the two people involved feel very strongly toward one another. Viola's love for Orsino is a great example of true love. Although she is pretending to be a man and is virtually unknown in Illyria, she hopes to win the Duke's heart. In act 1, scene 4, Viola let's out her true feelings for Cesario, "yet a barful strife!

This can include love that is single sided, love that leads to dangerous decision making, an termination of other relationships, falling in love with multiple people at a time, and even abuse. These factors can play a large part in not only falling in love but taking the relationship further. Culture also plays a large part in falling in love and making a relationship last. Often in cultures the partner is expected to share the same beliefs, religion, and even have prearranged marriages with partners selected by their parents. This can take falling in love and postpone it or take it out of the equation all
