However, there is no possible way they can truly be in love. For example, they barely know each other, they are too young, and they only like each other for their looks.

People may argue that Hamlet only acted like he loved Ophelia, but I feel that he truly did have feelings for her and his vengeance got in the way of their love. Although Hamlet was cruel to Ophelia at times Hamlet truly did love her, yet he hid his feelings from her very well because he was afraid of being betrayed by the women he loved. Unfortunately for them, this led to Ophelia’s suicide. By the time that Hamlet could act on his love, it was already too late. I do not feel that Hamlet ever stopped loving Ophelia, but Hamlet caused a break in their relationship that could never be fixed.
The Immaturity of Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet is a timeless tale of lovers whose misfortune and immaturity was a cause of their own destruction. The characters individually show immaturity and together demonstrate how ignorance of the world affects more than just their own lives.

Juliet is shown to be immature in an opening scene where her father tells the bride-seeking Paris his daughter is not old and grown-up enough to marry. It is also shown during the balcony scene when she agrees to marry Romeo after knowing him only a day and she is not even sure herself that Romeo wants to marry her.

How does Shakespeare present the theme of love in hamlet? Shakespeare presents the theme of love in many aspects. One of them is that love is reoccurring, it is a vital component for it, as it decides hamlet and many others fates, their deaths. For instance , when Ophelia rejects hamlets love by order of her father, they believe he has gone mad , and a change of circumstance changes love ,which then leads to Ophelia’s death eventually. Also he presents love as ambiguous and vague ,plain.
Romeo decided that he was in love with Juliet upon sight without knowing who she was (Shakespeare 924). This was a terrible choice Romeo had literally no idea who she was and this could have stopped the whole conflict of the play. Romeo then ignored his dreams which he believed told his destiny (Shakespeare 921-1009). While if Romeo listened to these dreams which he believed told the future he would have been much more cautious because he would know that he was going to die prematurely. Also, by him listening to his dreams he would have made either little or no poor choices later in the play which results in his death.
Romeo believes himself to be in love with this girl he has known for quite some time. His friends Mercutio and Benvolio think his broken heart is a joke. Romeo is still so young and has no idea what true love feels like. Rosaline makes it clear she wants to stay unmarried, which leaves Romeo single. Why doesn’t Romeo ask himself “If she doesn’t want to be with anyone, why do I want to be with her?” It is clearly because he loves the exciting chase of Rosaline.
