Imagine boy meets girl, they fall in love, they marry, they die break through of passion for each other. directly imagine this happening over the course of three days. Does the love they shared appear as align as before? Romeo and Juliet is known as bingle of the most romantic composition ever written, though the Prince could not have verbalise it any better, For never was a story of more woe / than this of Juliet and her Romeo (5.3.320-321). Its near ironic how Shakespeares play is often thought of as a story of true love, and not as a tale of two immature youth who believe they hold more than simply infatuation. Shakespeare shows that the love shared by Romeo and Juliet is nothing more than nave attraction. For instance, (cut here?) Romeo is down(p) about being out of love meaning the attraction he feels is not mutual, but he instantly forgets about his lovesickness, and the one and only(a) he was in love with, when he locks eyeball with another girl. This means that he never actually had true love to begin with as he first thought. There are characters in this story of immature love who recognize the inconsistency of Romeos love and that Romeos feelings are nothing more than sexual attraction. (NOTE FIX THESIS)When Romeo is first introduced, he is depressed about being out of love because Rosaline, the girl he is supposedly in love with, does not return his affections. In Benvolios attempts to persuade Romeo to forget her and get hold other women at the Capulets party, Romeo angrily yells, One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun / Neer saw her match since first the world begun (1.2.98-100). He says that no one could possibly match the beauty of Rosaline. Romeo believes he knows love, but really, he wants love. He is in love with the idea of being... ...m a true love. Even Juliet was ignorant comme il faut to say That banishd, that one word banishd / Hath slain ten cardinal Tybalts (3.2.124-125) after Romeo had killed Tybalt and was banish ed for it. She is stating that banishment is worse than the murder of ten thousand Tybalts. Though, who is to say what true love is and how long it takes to develop? Romeo and Juliet could in fact be in love, but it cannot be denied that they are going about it in an immature way. Romeo believed he had found eternal love with Rosaline, but one look at Juliet and he forget about his lovesickness and then decided Juliet was his true love. This inconsistency was seen by other characters such as Mercutio and Friar Laurence, who say that Romeos feelings were merely infatuation and not love as he had said they were, showing that Juliet is a replacement Rosaline.(NOTE FIX CONCLUSION)
