The Many Faces of Love Imagine your parents have the ability to choose who you marry, and they decide they want you to marry someone you don’t like at all. This person doesn’t have a good personality, you don’t like talking to them, and they don’t bring you joy. Now, simply because you cannot choose who you want to marry, you will be unhappy for the rest of your life as you are stuck with this person who you do not truly love. As humans, we crave social interaction and a sense of being loved. When we don’t have that, we become lonely. To feel loved, we often fall in love with people who don’t even know us, or we fall in love with

While talking to Juliet about her marrying Paris, she says “So shall you share all that he doth possess/by having him, making yourself no less,” (Romeo and Juliet 1.3 93-94). Here, Lady Capulet is saying that if Juliet marries Paris, she will share everything that he possessed. She also says that by marrying Paris, she won’t lose anything. The quote proves that Lady Capulet wants Juliet to marry Paris only because she will gain wealth and status from …show more content…
While professing their love for each other, Juliet says, “My love as deep; the more I give to thee/the more I have, for both are infinite,” (Romeo and Juliet 2.2 134-135). This love between Romeo and Juliet is mutual because Juliet says that she and Romeo’s love is infinite, as the more love she gives to Romeo, the more love she receives. This is mutual because, as Juliet says, they are both giving love and both receiving love from the other person, meaning that both people experience the love. After Romeo kisses Juliet, she says, “Then have my lips the sin that they have took, (Romeo and Juliet 1.5 110). Romeo responds, saying, “Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged/Give me my sin again” (1.5 111-112). After kissing once, Juliet says that her lips now have the “sin” that Romeo’s lips had. To this, Romeo responds, telling her that he wants that sin back, meaning that he wants to kiss her again. Romeo has trespassed, as he has sinned, and he is now urged to trespass again, meaning he wants to kiss Juliet again. Their kiss is a sin because they shouldn’t be kissing each other. Juliet is part of the Capulet family and Romeo is a Montague, and these two families despise each other. In addition, Capulet and Lady Capulet get to pick who Juliet marries, and they don’t want her to marry Romeo, as he is a Montague. This love is freely
Two fathers together, for the first time, wept for the deaths of their children as their grief-stricken faces shone in the dusty light inside the tomb. Pain seared equally through all hearts of the Capulets and Montagues, both distraught by the unexpected death of their beloved children. The star-crossed lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet, recklessly fall in love despite their families’ raging feud. The couple’s newlywed lustful attitudes get them both, and many others, wistfully killed in William Shakespeare's incredible 16th century play, Romeo and Juliet. Due to the brilliant script of the play many question who is truly to blame for these abominable deaths.
To her family, he is just an evil Montague who is their enemy. Lady Capulet believes Juliet will be happier if she marries County Paris because she believes Juliet is grieving Tybalt’s death, not Romeo’s banishment. Rather than seeing her husband’s red flags and leaving him, Juliet has already pardoned him and still wants to be with him. Romeo is a fiend to her family, so it is not easy for the Capulet and Montague to be
When the star-crossed lovers fall in love at first sight, Romeo insists on kissing Juliet: “O then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do:” (1.5.103). Some might say he was right to fall in love and make a move at first sight, but I think he makes an impulsively absurd decision because he just met her. This is just one example of the stupid decisions Romeo makes, as the play goes on, Romeo makes more undefining decisions, ultimately causing the tragedy between the two lovers. After a long night of discussing their love for each other, Romeo asks the Friar to marry the couple, “We met, we woo’d, and made exchange of vow, / I’ll tell thee as we pass, but this I pray, / That thou consent to marry us today.” (2.3.62-64).
By help of Friar Lawrence, a peaceful priest. The Montague and Capulet family are in an ancient family feud, but no one knows their children are both married to each other. The family of Juliet pressures her to marry Paris, a kinsman to the prince. They do not realize Juliet is in love with their enemy Romeo,
In addition to the initial statement of this reason, it seems as though love is a fierce emotion that cannot be easily overlooked by people that are seduced by it. A study about how love affects the mind, says, “But romantic love is much more than a cocaine high- at least you come down from cocaine. Romantic love is an obsession, it possesses you. You lose your sense of self”

In Romeo and Juliet Act One Scene Five Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time. Romeo sees Juliet across the room at the party and instantly falls in love. Romeo then goes over to talk to Juliet. The context of their meeting is that Romeo asks Juliet if he can kiss her. Juliet says that to kiss is a sin, but then agrees to stand still so that he can kiss her; “O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; /
Love can cause you to do things unlike you, as the famous phrase goes “Love makes you crazy “. In Romeo and Juliet their love has caused them to be obsessed with one another, and have a constant urge to see each other, regardless of all the dangers that are watching over them. In addition, it has also been proven that love can compel
"Love is like a pineapple, sweet and undefinable," -Piet Hein. In the common literature Romeo and Juliet, "My Shakespeare", and "Love's Vocabulary," they all share the same objective of attempting to define love. By using paradox, allusion and figuritive language, William Shakespeare, Kate Tempest and Diane Ackerman show how love is undefinable. In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare uses paradox to define love.
In Act one scene 5 Romeo and Juliet say, “ Juliet- Saints do not move, though grant for prayers’ sake. Romeo- Then move not, while my prayer’s effect I take. Kisses her.” Romeo and juliet kiss each other because they “love” each other.
Tony and Maria kiss the first time they meet, at the rumble, and the same with Romeo and Juliet, at the party. Romeo says, “Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged!/ Give me my sin again” (1.5.108-109), Romeo is saying to Juliet that he wants to kiss her again, showing that he is romantic. Romeo and Juliet do not even know each other and especially do not know that they are Montagues and Capulets. As seen in (1.5.137), Nurse tells Juliet that Romeo is a Montague, “My only love, sprung from my only hate!”
Love presents itself in different shapes, forms and sizes, but what happens to this endearment when it is one-sided? Unrequited love poisons the character of wholesome individuals by way of minimizing virtues which leads to mental inferiority and supremely results in the detainment of happiness. The sole attribute that every individual seek has the potential to destroy most.
It pretty much covers this love throughout the entire story line. Although one example of this is when Romeo and Juliet first meet, Romeo quotes, “O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray; Grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.” (1.5.102-3). In this case Romeo is wanting Juliet to kiss him, which in this same conversation juliet wants the same thing.
Thus, this text offered contrasting views on love and its value. It
Based on Sternberg’s triangle, the nature of love is composed of three different ingredients. At this very point, one should consider the necessity of analyzing the Sternberg’s triangle. It may be explained by the presumption that correct apprehension of this model can help to better understand the nature of love. In fact, it is an alternative approach to the abovementioned proposal to differentiate two kinds of love (Baumeister & Bushman, 2017, p. 408).
