Archetypes In Romeo And Juliet

All humans have different opinions and beliefs but we were put on this earth for one sole purpose which is to love and reproduce to keep our population growing. Every human has that in common, our brains make chemicals to make us love and we learn to love through our genetics. These chemicals are what drives our desire to have children and a family. The archetype Lover is a person who is looking for their special someone and they are so passionate about them. They believe that the key to true happiness is falling in love and will never give up searching until they find the person that is perfect for them. Love is not something that is taught it is in just something that comes with being human. Now knowing that we are made to love it might

For example Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare shows us powerful feelings that come with being in love and final meeting your soulmate. The play is about two lovers Romeo and Juliet who have fallen in love with each other but cannot be together because their from different families who have been fighting for years.
