Aspects of Love in Romeo and Juliet Essay Example

What is love?The word love is a noun and mean an intense feeling of deep affection.Many people have different aspects of love and what it means to them.Throughout Romeo and Juliet written by Shakespeare he explains love through the eyes of a twelve year boy named Romeo and a fourteen year old girl name Juliet.I also have my own personal experience views of love and what it means.Another thing about is people think it is a duty or a responsibility.What is your opinion on love? 

In the beginning of  The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare, Romeo is in love with a girl named Rosaline.He expresses how he feels by over exaggerating how he feels in Act 1 Scene 1 page 188 “O anything of nothing first created! O heavy lightness , serious vanity, Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms!Feather of lead,bright smoke,cold fire, sick health,Still-waking sleep,that is not what it is! This love feel I , that feel no love in this. Dost thou not laugh? Romeo is saying love can have its good days and its bad days.He also says love can be unhealthy and healthy. Later on the the book Romeo and Juliet go to a dance and then meet each other for the first time. Romeo sees Juliet from afar and complaints talks about her to Servingman. From No Fear Shakespeare page 61 Romeo says about Juliet “ She stands out against the darkness like a jeweled earring hanging against the cheek of an African…” At the end of the dance he finds out that she is an enemy's child but he doesn’t care.

Romeo stills goes and talks to her and kisses her. After the dance Juliet goes home and talks to the Nurse about her night at the dance she finds out that Romeo is an enemy's son. Juliet says “My only love sprung from my only hate!Too early seen unknown, and known too late!Prodigious birth of love it is to me,That I must love a loathed enemy.”  Juliet wishes his name was Romeo because that is a name of an enemy. Juliet doesn’t care thou that Romeo is an enemy her feelings are still the same for him.In overall , Romeo and Juliet are young and in love. Juliet drink poison so she doesn’t have to marry Paris. The reason why she doesn’t want to marry Paris is because Juliet is already married to Romeo. Lady Capulet and Capulet don’t know about that is because Romeo is an enemy and Juliet doesn’t want to tell them.

In my personal experience love is complicated. When I was younger my dad didn’t really show me love. He gave me a lot of freedom and would want to to figure out life on my own. I wish was would have given me less freedom and was more hard on me. Another way love is in my life is through my daughter. It is my duty to take care of my daughter. I have to make sure she eats, has a roof over her head, and that she learns what's right and wrong. My daughter shows me love. She gives me kisses and hugs.The last thing from my personal experience through love is my husband. My husband does things for me without me asking. For example when I am tried and he sees that I am tried he watches and plays with my daughter, so I can relax. With my family they think that it’s more of their duty to love me. The reason why I say that is because when I was ten years old my mom passed away.So they do more things to help me out. Those are my personal experience with love.
