Of course their love was real. That is why he died for her. She basicly passed out. (Thats what my idiot friend told me) He thought she was dead, so he killed himself for her and then she woke up and saw him dead and cried and then she died of a broken heart. (: Hope that helped
It is a reasonable question to ask: are Romeo and Juliet really in love? Shakespeare gives us reason to doubt this from the very beginning of the play when Romeo is shown to be obsessive over Rosaline. For Romeo to be so depressed for what seems like so long over one girl and then completely forgetting her at the sight of another he thought was prettier can cause some distrust that he actually cared about Juliet. Also Juliet, who had just admitted to her mother and nurse that she had given little thought to marriage, was married to Romeo a few days later. So what came over these two when they met at the party - true love or just love of the other's good looks?
Before we can know if Romeo and Juliet really do love each other, we must first ask ourselves, what is love? Love is a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. Romeo and Juliet appear to have this for each other. All they want to do is be with each other, to please the other -even to the point of death. Juliet tells Romeo in the balcony scene, "…how much I love thy company" and before being married, Romeo says, "but whatever sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange joy that one short minute gives me in her sight" both quotes shows that they love spending time together.
They are also willing to give up anything and everything to be with each other. Romeo wishes to die rather than be without Juliet's love, saying: "My life would be better ended by their hate than death proroguèd, wanting of thy love." Juliet explains the happiness of her marriage to Romeo by telling him "…The more I give to thee, the more I have." Obviously, they want the best for one another and want to be together. (If that ain't love then I don't know what love is)(I'm so glad I found you, love being around you -there's only one thing to do three words for you I love you)(Pay no attention to the things in parentheses, they are not part of the essay, but somehow related…)
There are several differences between Romeo's "love" of Rosaline and his love of Juliet. First, when Romeo found out that he could not be with Rosaline, he just sulked around, talking poetically about love, or at least what he thought love was. When he found out he could not be with Juliet, he went so far as to risk his life going back to Verona to see her, then killing himself at the sight of her dead. When he talked about Rosaline, he just bragged of her good looks - that were going to waste by her swearing to a life of chastity - and expressed how sad she made him.
When Romeo thinks of Juliet, however, he is filled with hope and happiness. After he lost everything; his home, his family, his friends, he still looked forward to seeing Juliet and was able to get through his exile. Romeo's constant talk of Rosaline in the beginning of the play is more of him wanting to be in love than him actually loving her. But when Romeo and Juliet met, everything changed for the both of them. Romeo cast away his superficial thoughts of love and learned what love truly meant, caring for someone. Juliet, a one naive child caring little about love, grew up quickly; doing everything in her power to remain true to her husband. They have been young or carless, but when you die rather than live without somebody, when you give up your family and place in society to be with them, you more than like what they look like~ you love them.
Some believe it is true love because they was willing to die for each other. The play was set over 5 days. within those 5 days they met, hugged, kissed, got married, had sex, and died. They got married within 2 or 3 days of meeting. You can debate this but I don't believe it is true love.
Also consider the fact that, until he meets Juliet, Romeo proclaims himself to be in love with Rosaline. When Romeo meets Juliet at the Capulet party he is only there because Rosaline is on the guest list. However, his feelings for Rosaline quickly evaporate, unlike his feelings for Juliet.
There are several feelings involved in the play Romeo and Juliet. There is hatred between the Capulets and the Montagues and love between Romeo and Juliet. There is also the feeling of loss at the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt. Finally there is the feeling of despair when Romeo is exiled, when he believes Juliet is dead and when Juliet wakes to find Romeo dead.
yes because they got married and they went on a honeymoon and if they were in lust then they wouldn't loved each other and they wouldn't be at their funeral and gonna be buried in the same vault and their parents wouldn't want to build a gold monument for their love.
Well that depends. If you believe in love at first sight then maybe. It's hard to really tell considering the time the book was written and our views today of kids(they were only 15) in love. Plus the question itself is an opinion.
In a way, yes it is. But as reality hits, you realise it is all a myth. People say that if you have liked someone for over four months, then you are already in love. Would you put a bullet to your head for that person? Would you be willing to DIE for that person? Love is your decision, your mistake(?), your life.
Maybe "true love" is a matter of the level of commitment you are prepared to make for the other. Would you be prepared to take an unknown drug which might kill you and at best will leave you stacked with a bunch of rotting corpses, so you can have the chance of living with your loved one? Juliet did. Would you rather die so you might have the chance of meeting your loved one in an afterlife rather than live without him or her? Romeo did, and so did Juliet.
Hell no! It was all a story about lust. Remember that Romeo and Juliet was a tragedy play, not a romance play.
If you know anything at all about Romeo and Juliet, you know the answer to this question. Does "star-crossed lovers" give you a hint?
