               Love and Hate in Romeo and Juliet

Love

Love 1: Romeo sees Juliet at the Capulet feast and falls instantly in love with her. Rosaline is simply a long-lost memory at this point. Even Romeo admits that he never really saw what true beauty or love was until this night, that he beholds Juliet. It is at this point that Romeo himself realizes the difference in the love he thought he felt for Rosaline and the love he now feels for Juliet. Act 1 scene 5.

Love 2: Juliet, from her balcony, proclaims her love for Romeo, who is below in the Capulet orchard. She is so in love with Romeo that she tells him she is willing to denounce her name, and no longer be a Capulet. Act 2 scene 2.

Love 3: The fight between Mercutio and Tybalt happened because Tybalt made an insult on Mercutio. Romeo could’ve helped Mercutio but he didn’t as Tybalt was Juliet’s cousin and Romeo had now been married to Juliet. He says” But I love thee better than thou canst devise, till thou shalt know reason of my love.” Act 3 scene 1.
