Romantic Crushes In Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet

Dr. Carl says A romantic crush is when one feels attached to another person and wants to be around them and be with them. Romeo and Juliet fell in love, but their love is forbidden because of their families fude, Romeo went to Juliet's house to plan how they are going to do a secret wedding with Friar Lawrence's blessing. Tybalt acts in transgression against Romeo and to back Romeo up Mercutio is there but Tybalt kills him so Romeo kills Tybalt. Romeo found Juliet and he felt a feeling he thought he would never feel again. Romeo was willing to do anything and change anything for her. Once Romeo first saw Juliet he thought that she was the most beautiful woman ever seen, he immediately fell for her and was attached to her.(complex)“O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night As rich jewel in the Ethiop’s ear- Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! (Act 1 scene 5, line 44-47). Juliet lights a fire in Romeo's heart that he thought would never be lit again. In the article Adolescents And The Teenage Crush, It says that romantic crushes are felt by finding someone they feel is attractive and feel good to be around. (para.3) Romeo wanted to be around Juliet all the time and found her powerfully attractive.

Romeo is willing to do anything for her, even if they have to keep it a secret.(compound) “I take thee at thy word. Call me but love and I’ll be new baptized; Henceforth I never will be Romeo.”(Act ll scene 2, line 49-51). Romeo said that because of his last name and their families not getting along he will change it to be with her. The text about Adolescents And The Teenage Crush explains that romantic crushes are feeling you are willing to do anything for that special someone to like you back (para.3). Romeo did not care what family Juliet was from and was willing to change anything for her to like him like she liked him
