What is your opinion on the idea that people view love differently?
Love is something very special because it has inspired so many books, songs,movies and paintings. But everyone views it differently like the characters in ‘Romeo and Juilet’. In this story there are many different types of love that is being expressed by the characters. Love is shown in many different ways like parental,sexual,friendship and formal love but the main aspect is true love which is between Romeo and Juilet.
Romeo’s point of view of love changes through out the story. At the beginning Romeo believes love is painful he says “Is love a tender thing? It is too rough,too rude,too boistous and it pricks like a thorn’’ (1.4.25) He is depressed because he loves a girl but she doesn’t love him back. This is his perpective of love till he meets Juilet and then he views love in a different way. When he meets Juilet he fallens in love with her and after that he expresses his love more. “My life were better ended by their hate,than death prorogued,wanting of thy love’’(2.3.60-61) in this line Romeo says that he would rather be killed than to have love without her love. When Romeo loved Rosaline that wasn’t true love because he wasn’t that serious about it but when he meet Juilet he truly loved her and he expressed his love. Romeo was in love with being in love and he had this carzy obsession about loving Juilet. Life and death wasn’t his situation when he loved Rosaline but for his true love he killed himself.
