Shakespeare is known throughout the vocabularies of almost anyone who has ever attended an English classroom. Shakespeare writes about forbidden lovers torn apart by a family feud. In the play, Romeo and Juliet, the two obsessors brought forth the question: are Romeo and Juliet truly in love? Romeo and Juliet are not chaste saints but infatuated lovers. During this stage in a teenager’s life hormones are flourishing, and it is hard to distinguish between love and lust. Furthermore, Romeo is still recuperating from Rosaline's jilt and is seeking out a new consort; meanwhile, Juliet is trying to escape a forced marriage.
It’s no mystery that teenagers are hormonal,
When Romeo is introduced in the play, he had just been “heartbroken” by Rosaline.
