This is false because they may seem to be in love, however, Romeo noticeably only loves Juliet for her looks based off of his comparison of her to celestial objects whilst expressing his love. Moreover, Juliet is uncertain of her feelings throughout their entire story, but because of Romeo’s foolhardy love for Juliet, they progressed with their relationship at too fast of a pace, causing numerous accounts of danger and mistakes, resulting in a flawed relationship that sadly ended in both their deaths. If they were to get to know each other better and take their love more slowly, it would show that they are truly in love, but sadly the course they chose to partake, made for inevitable doom in their
Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is not even a relationship because they have to sneak around and lie to everybody they love. At the beginning of the story, Romeo claims to be so in love with Rosaline. He says that he cannot find another girl to love and that Rosaline will be the only girl that he’ll ever be able to love. Romeo’s friend Marcuteo tells Romeo that he needs to look for other beauty’s, and Romeo disagrees because he believes that Rosaline is the only women for him. But she could not love Romeo back because she was a nun, and that is against her religion.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight. For I never saw true beauty till this night.”( pg 32: line 42) The attraction between Romeo and Juliet is immediate and neither of them understands this sudden intense attractions. Romeos love for Rosaline must have been superficial. Romeo immaturity is also highlighted when he goes climbing into the Capulets garden to see Juliet again “.....but soft!
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. Romeo and Juliet, as expressed in the succeeding examples, fall in love quickly as a result of their naivety. 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.
Character Logs for Romeo and Juliet Romeo At the beginning of the play, Romeo thinks that he is not good enough for Rosaline. He doubts himself: “She is too fair…wisely too fair.” Act 1 Scene 1 Line 220. He thinks that he doesn’t deserve such a beautiful and clever girl as she is out of his league. Romeo is so under pressure and depressed that he doesn’t want to think about anything else. This miserable situation is making him feel disconnected from the world, and he cannot handle all the strong feelings he has: “O teach me how I should forget to think.” Act 1 Scene 1 Line 225.
They become oblivious as to what is going on in the rest of their lives. When Romeo and Juliet first meet, it seems that their falling in love happens with the blink of an eye for one minute they have only just met each other, and the next they are to plotting their marriage without the knowledge or consent of the Montague or Capulet families. The fact that they had fallen in love without even knowing each other’s last name says a lot about how the relationship between Romeo and Juliet was destined to end as when Juliet finds out he is a Montague she says she has fallen in love ‘with a loathed enemy’. The tragedy of the death of Tybalt was reflected onto the relationship of Romeo and Juliet as this is ultimately what had let to the death of the two characters. On the same day the two wed, Friar Lawrence had warned the two that “These violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss, consume” Not only does the death of Tybalt and Mercutio add to the main tragedies in the play as the death of Tybalt was what had caused Romeo to be ‘banished’ and ultimately led to the death of Romeo and Juliet but also
There is an example of this when Romeo attends the Capulet’s party, and this is where he is first exposed to Juliet and where the misfortune begins. At this point in time Romeo and Juliet immediately fall in love with one another. Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet, this is a problem for their love since the two families are quarreling with each other. They cannot see each other while in the presence of another family member. Their relationship has to be kept a secret and the only ones that know of it are Friar Laurence and
Romeo and Juliet then continue to have secret meetings, until they are then caught and both families then come to realization that their children have been going behind their backs to see the child from their most hated enemies. Romeo and Juliet then try to persuade their families to believe that they are uncontrollably in love with one another. Being the stubborn adults that they are, both families did not agree and no longer allowed them to meet each other. When doing this, it stirs up more tension between the families when Romeo kills Tybalt; a member of the Capulet household. The Capulet’s exiled Romeo from the city and was forced to leave and never come back.
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.
By using the artificiality and immaturity of Romeo and Juliet’s love, as well as their combined impulsiveness and naïveté, Shakespeare warns against the consequences of young love. In the play, Shakespeare utilizes the actions and speeches of Romeo to portray the detrimental effects of immature, young love. Romeo, although being approximately 17, is still just a young adult who knows nothing of true love. While at the party, for example, Romeo is still suffering from anguish and has no intention of looking for new love. At the party however, Romeo spots Juliet and falls in “love” again almost instantly, forgetting about his heartbreak.
