Were romeo and juliet really in love?

Answer 1

This is not an argument which I would care to make, but if you wanted to, you could point to the things he says at the beginning of Act V Scene 3, and claim that he is sincere in his expressions of sorrow. He did take the trouble to go out to the tomb in the middle of the night and bring flowers to put on her grave. That must show that he had some kind of feelings for her.

Answer 2

No. How can he? He doesn't even talk to her until after her father has forced her to agree to marry Paris. The only conversation they have is awkward and stilted. Paris doesn't know what to say to this girl he has never met. He has no idea about what she is like as a person. She is just a trophy which he has acquired from her father.

Answer 3

The better question is "Did Paris love Juliet?" He barely knew her. He certainly had not sounded her feelings about whether she wanted to marry him. He did not seem to care about her feelings, an odd way to behave toward someone if you love her. Paris makes the conventional expressions of love, but it is as artificial as Romeo's "love" for Rosaline.

Answer 4

Well, sort of. It might be more accurate to say that he was eager to acquire Juliet as his wife. Juliet was the only child of the extremely rich Capulet family, and "he that gets her shall have the chinks." Paris's motive was greed only. He does not even spend any time wooing Juliet, or even asking her how she feels about marrying him. She is a prize he is trying to acquire.

Answer 5

How can you doubt it? They are the most famous lovers ever.

Answer 6

No. She never wanted to marry Paris.

Answer 7

yes.
