Falling In Love In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

A pair of star-crossed lovers

Falling in love involves feelings and memoires one could impossibly forget. What happens when that love starts at a young age and is brought together by fate, a love that is doomed from the start.

In (5.3.86) Romeo says ``her beauty makes this vault a feasting presence full of light´´ indicating that Romeo sees Juliet’s beauty flooding the darkness of the tomb with brilliance. Even in the tomb Juliet’s beauty lights up the whole
